As the global investment contours keep evolving, the AIM Congress 2024 is taking shape as a critical platform to foster global investment innovations and sustainability.

Set to convene in Abu Dhabi from May 7-9, the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) Congress promises to be a crucial gathering for driving the new dynamics of economic resilience and growth.

This year’s congress theme, “Adapting to a shifting Investment Landscape: Harnessing New Potential for Global Economic Development,” aptly captures the current global challenges and the opportunities they present. Under the banner “Resilient Sustainable Economic Growth–Creating a Healthy and Prospective Investment through FDI and FPI,” the investment track aims to be a crucible for ideas and strategies that can help navigate these tumultuous times.

The congress will begin with a landmark panel on “Geopolitical Tensions 2024: New Challenges and New FDI Destinations.” This discussion is set to outline the shifting terrains of international politics and their impact on investment flows, highlighting new hotspots and sectors that are ripe for investment.

Innovation and collaboration in focus during AIM Congress 2024

Over the three days, participants will be able to delve into numerous aspects of investment cutting across economies and continents. From evaluating the legacy of COP28 to exploring the impact of tax reforms on Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs), the sessions are designed to cover the core of the most persistent issues facing investors today. Particularly noteworthy is the master class titled “Blended Finance Dissected,” which will provide valuable insights into leveraging public and private finance in development projects.

A highlight of the AIM Congress is the AIM Investment Awards 2024, scheduled for the opening day. These awards celebrate top direct investment (FDI) projects from around Africa and the globe, acknowledging the critical role IPAs play in economic development. With categories ranging from Innovation and Research to Sustainability and Local Linkages, the awards underline the diverse ways investment can contribute to societal and economic progress.

Empowering Investment Promotion Agencies

This year’s AIM Congress is also notable for introducing the AIM Perception Study for IPAs 2024. In collaboration with UNIDO, WAIPA, and KPMG, this survey aims to garner critical insights from IPAs and foster a collaborative environment for global economic growth. The findings shared during the congress, are expected to offer invaluable perspectives on improving IPA strategies and operations across industries.

Global convergence of leaders and innovators

Organized under the auspices of the AIM Global Foundation and supported by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, along with the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, AIM Congress 2024 is yet another pointer to the UAE’s commitment to shaping a progressive economic future across the world. By bringing together visionaries, industry captains, and policymakers, the congress aims to catalyze meaningful exchanges and forge partnerships to drive the global economic agenda forward.

As the AIM Congress draws even closer, it promises not just to be a meeting of minds but a beacon for the future of global investment, shining a light on the pathways to economic resilience and prosperity.
