“Being held in the UAE, which is considered a strategic gateway to Africa and major parts of Asia, AIM seeks to bring to the participating countries investment factors that trigger FDI inflow,” Al Shezawi added.
The 5th AIM has attracted a host of government officials and prominent economic experts from all over the world.
AIM works to consolidate the UAE’s position on the map of global investments, and furthering its efforts and journey to be counted among the first in the world in this field.
Gulf States are increasingly moving towards top global positions in a variety of areas, mainly in the economic and investment fields.
AIM 2015 held under the theme ‘Sustainable Development Through FDI-Induced Innovation and Technology Transfer’ has attracted representatives from more than 140 countries, with ‘Innovation’ as major discussion topic for this edition.
The forum will bring to the table of discussions the topics of simplifying procedures related to investment in developing countries and the importance of building a database about the investment opportunities in the emerging countries to enhance the flow of FDIs which would result in economic benefits to the countries’ economies and investment groups alike.
It will showcase participating countries’ expertise, including the UAE with the objective of helping other countries in attracting more investments to boost their economies, especially with the various challenges facing the world.
Arab countries face many challenges in bringing new investment, and this calls for more efforts in attracting FDI and creating an attractive environment, which is the main focus of AIM this year.
Experts and representatives from more than 140 countries will give insights on ‘Innovation’ which would enable participation to highlight its expertise, case studies, problems and obstacles of attracting investment and creating the right environment.

The Government of the UAE has named 2015 as the year of innovation. Participating delegations will review UAE’s plans and vision in this field.
