Promoting Investopia in the Chinese market

Under the terms of the MoU, SIEF will promote Investopia through its various digital platforms and
communication channels. In addition to expanding its reach to investors, entrepreneurs, and within the

Chinese private sector, the goal is to improve investment collaboration prospects between the UAE and

The initiative exemplifies the shared commitment of both parties to enhancing global economic dialogue
and fostering an environment conducive to the exchange of knowledge and expertise at the private

sector level.

The MoU paves the way for new strategic partnerships to bolster global economic growth and
strengthen the UAE's position as a global hub for investment and entrepreneurship. The agreement also
aligns with Investopia’s goal to expand its reach regionally and globally by launching new initiatives in

emerging markets and fostering creativity and entrepreneurship in the new economy. The move is
expected to offer a range of investment opportunities across various vital economic sectors.

China-Arab Entrepreneurs Summit

The fourth edition of Investopia 2025 hosted three global forums, including the China-Arab
Entrepreneurs Summit under the theme "Seizing New Opportunities." This forum witnessed extensive
participation from Arab and Chinese officials, businessmen, and entrepreneurs.

Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF)

investment environment by connecting Chinese entrepreneurs with global markets. Furthermore, it
organises high-level economic and investment events that bring together leading Chinese and global

companies, reinforcing its role as a significant platform in the business and investment realms. Since
2023, SIEF has hosted the Annual China-Arab Entrepreneurs Summit, a key initiative that connects
prominent business leaders and public sector in China and the Middle East.
