Next50 discusses UAE companies’ access to investment

opportunities in new economy sectors

ABU DHABI, 26th March 2025 (WAM) — The Next50 initiative, launched by Investopia and EMIR, held its
second meeting in the presence of Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of
Investopia, and Hassan El Khatib, the Egyptian Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade.

The meeting, which formed part of the ‘Investopia Communities’ roundtable series at Investopia 2025 in Abu
Dhabi, was attended by more than 19 UAE companies that are part of the initiative.

The meeting discussed the UAE’s investment opportunities and potential in the economic and vital sectors,
particularly those in the new economy, and their role in enhancing the country’s attractiveness to FDI.

During the meeting, participants explored ways to encourage UAE companies to increase their investments and
expand their business operations in prominent foreign markets at the regional and international levels.
In this regard, Bin Touq said, “The private sector is a key partner in promoting the UAE’s sustainable economic
and social development. Therefore, we are keen to increase its investment and business operations within and
outside the country, as well as enhance its contribution to future economic and investment strategies. These
efforts will help us move closer to the achievement of the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision’s goal to raise the country’s
GDP to AED3 trillion by the next decade.”
In this regard, he emphasised the important role of the Next50 Initiative in promoting dialogue with UAE
