Sharjah is set to host the Sharjah Investment Forum (SIF) 2025 on October 22–23 at the Al Jawaher Reception & Convention Centre. This edition is expected to be the largest yet, with over 10,000 delegates expected from 142 countries.
In conjunction with the 29th World Investment Conference (WIC), the forum will focus heavily on sustainable development goals and bridging a global finance gap of USD 4.2 trillion needed by 2030. Key sessions will target smart manufacturing, clean energy, and green infrastructure.
UAE officials have said the forum is part of the broader strategy to pivot the Gulf region from hydrocarbon dependency to knowledge- and investment-driven growth. For UAE media, it’s a showcase of global business ambition; for Indian, Bangladeshi, Nepali platforms, it presents opportunities for cross-border network expansion, investment deals, and sustainable development partnerships.
