The forum is organized in a strategic partnership with the Eurasia Gulf Organization, in a major partnership with the AGI Holding Group, and with the support of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the Hong Kong Business Chamber – Middle East.

Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Emirate of Sharjah, said: The links between investments and sustainability are increasing in light of the escalation of global risks such as climate change and resource depletion. By integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, investors seek to reduce exposure to volatile assets and enhance long-term resilience. Green technologies, renewable energy and nature-positive infrastructure have become attractive areas for capital, while artificial intelligence tools help in modeling climate scenarios and improving investment portfolios. Sustainability is no longer just an ethical choice. Rather, it has become a financial strategy to confront environmental uncertainty,” he added, “and this international forum comes in line with the requirements of the future to bring together in one place a group of investors, decision-makers, and academics to raise the curtain on the world’s ability to adapt and move forward in light of all these challenges.”

For his part, Dr. Saad Eddin Mneimneh, founder of the Global Investors Forum and Chairman of the Board of Directors of AGI Holding Group, said, “The Global Investors Forum is not just a conference, but a strategic economic platform that redraws the map of global cooperation by linking the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to Eurasia through a unified system of investment and partnership.”

He stressed, “The next edition of the forum in Tbilisi will be a pivotal turning point in enhancing economic integration between East and West, as it will launch a new wave of cross-border investments and open unprecedented horizons for global capital. It aims to enable long-term partnerships between governments, international institutions and the private sector, thus consolidating global economic cooperation and redefining the investment landscape in the region.”

Arif Anis, MBE, said: “It is a great honor to participate as a keynote speaker at the Global Investors Forum 2025, at a time when global capital is witnessing a state of confusion, with a slowdown in foreign direct investment and a decline in financing for vital projects by 26%. This is why Dr. Saadeddine Mneimneh’s vision seems exceptional, as he is not only organizing a conference, but facing this turbulent economic reality with courage and clarity,” adding, “The forum will discuss the future of global finance as 130 countries turn to currencies.” Digital, and the rising revolution in artificial intelligence, which has captured 37% of global investment capital, the forum brings together more than 1,000 leaders at the right time and place, launching major conversations that will shape the next decade.”

Commenting on the event, John W. said: H. Denton, Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Commerce, “In light of the rapid fluctuations and turmoil that the world is witnessing today, the private sector’s vital role is highlighted in driving investments that contribute to the prosperity of economies and societies, and as the global voice of business, representing more than 45 million companies in 170 countries, our mission to make business a tool that serves everyone, every day, and everywhere, has become more urgent than ever before.”

The forum represents an advanced step in the path of international cooperation between emerging markets and global investors, as Georgia seeks, by hosting it, to emphasize the importance of economic cooperation in linking the Middle East, Europe and Central Asia. Economic relations between the UAE and Georgia in particular are witnessing rapid growth, supported by major investment agreements worth more than six billion dollars in development and infrastructure projects, at a time when data indicate that the UAE represents more than 63% of Georgia’s total trade with Arab countries, and contributes about 5% of total foreign investment. Direct, which makes it among the six largest global investors in the Georgian market.

The forum’s activities are expected to result in a package of major investment agreements estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, which will focus on developing green projects and financing innovations in the fields of renewable energy and digital infrastructure, in a step that consolidates the UAE’s position as a global economic hub linking the Gulf, European and Asian markets, and enhances its influential presence in the new global economic system.
