The platform will analyse the current economic conditions prevailing in Sharjah and the UAE and evaluate the potential opportunities that derive from them. Featuring keynote presentations and lively panel debates, this year’s forum aims to build on the success of the inaugural event in 2015 that was held to capitalise on the UAE’s 2014 first placed position as the most attractive country for FDI in the Middle East and Africa. “According to a recent report published by the Global Innovation Index, it ranked the UAE first among Arab countries in terms of overall performance on the index with an estimate rise of 11 billion USD in FDI. What positions Sharjah in a competitive advantage in this context is its unique economic competencies, geographic location and investment-friendly infrastructure which complete the remaining 6 emirates’ distinctive economic features,” said Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of Shurooq. UAE Ministry of Economy figures from 2016 reveal that accumulated foreign investment in the country had increased to USD 126 billion by year-end 2015 compared to USD 115 billion by year-end 2014.
