UAE’s position as a global destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, an international hub for trade

and business, and a model for the positive impact of foreign investments – both inbound and outbound – in
driving comprehensive development and sustainable growth.

This came in the press conference held this morning, Monday, at the Emirates News Agency (WAM) theatre in

Abu Dhabi, to announce the partners of the 14th edition of AIM Congress 2025 along with a number of key
stakeholders, government officials, ambassadors, international organisation representatives, and local and

global media.
Al Zeyoudi stated, "Thanks to the visionary leadership of our wise leader, which has given, and continues to

give, great attention to opening up commercially and investment-wise to the world, strengthening the

attractiveness of the business environment, enhancing the country’s connection to global supply chains,
developing talent, and advancing industrial and technological capabilities, the UAE continues to maintain its

position at the forefront of the most attractive countries for investment, both regionally and globally. It

achieved a record growth in foreign direct investment inflows, rising by 35 percent in 2023 to reach AED 112.6
billion, according to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)."

He further added that the AIM Congress has become a prominent global platform that brings together

investors, policymakers, and business leaders from around the world to exchange insights, ideas, and
successful experiences in shaping the future of global investment.

He noted that AIM Congress has succeeded in building long-term partnerships with more than 330 institutions
from the public and private sectors, as well as international organisations, offering innovative solutions and

promising investment opportunities, thus strengthening its position as a leading global event in the investment

field.
He expressed his anticipation for the outcomes of the AIM Congress 2025 and its new investment projects

and partnerships that will drive economic growth and sustainable development.
