The fourth edition of Investopia (Investopia 2025) kicked off in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday at St. Regis Saadiyat to shape the future of global investments and modern financing trends in sustainable industries.

Key industries include fintech, artificial intelligence, the circular economy, healthcare, clean energy, renewable energy, and green finance. The two-day event also features insights from global investment leaders, addressing the impact of geopolitical tensions and rapid global changes.

Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of Investopia - who inaugurated the event, said it has drawn leaders, ministers, investors, entrepreneurs, and economists from 20 countries to the UAE to shape the future of investment in new economy sectors, WAM reported.

He highlighted that the event encourages collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing, helping connect business communities with investment and financing opportunities in key industries.

These sectors are now essential for building sustainable and advanced economies. The event also aims to find practical solutions to geopolitical challenges affecting the global investment landscape.

Al Marri highlighted three key pillars of Investopia:

  • Investopia Global Dialogues – Interactive sessions with business leaders, investors, and innovators discussing global investment trends.
  • Investopia Investment Communities – A platform connecting investors, policymakers, and the private sector across different industries.
  • Investopia Marketplace – A hub linking global capital and investment funds with a database of opportunities.

Al Marri emphasized that despite global economic challenges, the UAE has successfully turned them into opportunities, achieving strong economic growth. From 2021 to 2024, the UAE's GDP grew at an average of 4.8%, while non-oil GDP grew at 6.2%, surpassing global expectations.

Mohamed Hassan Al Suwaidi, Minister of Investment and CEO of ADQ, said Investopia highlights the UAE's strong investment appeal for local and global investors.
