For his part, HE Al Zeyoudi stressed that the
UAE has established its position as a global hub for trade and investment,
underpinned by an open, agile and multi-partnership economy, advanced
infrastructure, and a legislative and regulatory environment that supports
business. He said the AIM Investment Summit 2026, held under the theme
‘Reshaping Global Prosperity: Opening New Investment Pathways Towards a
Sustainable and Inclusive Future’, convenes at a time when the global economy
is undergoing rapid transformations driven by technological development,
geopolitical realignments, the acceleration of sustainability efforts and the
emergence of new growth centres across regions.
He explained that the UAE prepared early for
these transformations and has continued to develop an economic model built on
openness and international partnerships, noting that the country’s non-oil
foreign trade exceeded AED 1.9 trillion during the first half of 2026. He added
that during 2025, the UAE attracted FDI inflows of US$48.3 billion, advancing
to ninth place globally among the largest destinations for foreign direct
investment, while the cumulative stock of FDI in the country exceeded AED 1.17
trillion.
He underscored the importance of investing in
future sectors, foremost among them artificial intelligence, clean energy,
climate technology, food and water security, and sustainable infrastructure. He
stressed that the UAE offers investors a global platform for growth, expansion
and market access, and emphasised the importance of building long-term
partnerships that contribute to the transfer of knowledge and technology,
create employment opportunities and promote sustainable and inclusive growth.
For his part, His Excellency President Taye
Atseki Selassie of Ethiopia expressed his sincere thanks and appreciation to
His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and to
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, as well as to the government and people
of the UAE for their hospitality and warm welcome.
President Selassie highlighted that Ethiopia
and Africa offer promising investment opportunities across five key sectors:
clean energy, agriculture, critical minerals, infrastructure and strategic
corridors, and human capital. He explained that Ethiopia holds substantial
renewable energy potential of approximately 60,000 megawatts and aims to reach
13,000 megawatts of installed capacity by 2030, in addition to allocating
approximately 1,000 megawatts to data centres and mining projects.
He noted that the African Continental Free
Trade Area unifies a market of approximately 1.3 billion people with a combined
GDP exceeding US$3.4 trillion, and highlighted major projects underway in
Ethiopia, including a new international airport valued at US$12.5 billion with
a target capacity of 110 million passengers and approximately 4 million tonnes
of cargo annually. President Selassie stressed that the continent’s young
population represents a strategic asset for development and innovation, and
expressed his country’s appreciation for the UAE’s role in supporting human
development in Ethiopia, particularly through the ‘5 Million Coders’
initiative.
The inauguration of the summit marks the
start of three days of intensive engagement across the business community,
designed to deliver tangible and measurable outcomes by connecting
institutional capital with emerging opportunities, forging strategic partnerships
and opening new pathways for cross-border investment.
Dawood Al Shezawi, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of AIM International, said that the launch of the AIM Investment
Summit 2026 comes amid the accelerating movement of global capital towards new
markets and investment opportunities capable of generating transformative
impact and sustainable value. He added that the summit brings together
