UAE to Participate in GIF 2025 Global Investors Forum in Tbilisi

The UAE has confirmed its participation in the GIF 2025 Global Investors Forum, which will be held on December 4–5, 2025, in Tbilisi and will bring together over 1,500 participants, including 70 institutional investors and delegations from over 40 countries.

The capital of Georgia is preparing to host one of the world's largest investment platforms — the Global Investors Forum. The event aims to strengthen cooperation between the GCC countries and Eurasia through a unified investment ecosystem that accelerates growth and expands opportunities for cross-border financing.

GIF 2025 is organized in strategic partnership with EurAsia Gulf and the International Chamber of Commerce in Georgia (ICC Georgia). AGI Holding is the main partner. The forum is supported by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Georgian Embassy in the UAE, and the Hong Kong and Middle East Chamber of Commerce.

The two-day program includes panel discussions, investment project presentations, and high-level meetings. Tbilisi expects over 1,500 participants, including 70 institutional investors and 50 international speakers. Delegations will arrive from more than 40 countries.

The forum will focus on five key areas: sustainable development and technology, tourism, digital assets and securitization, real estate and infrastructure, and agritech and food security.

As part of GIF 2025, it is planned to launch strategic initiatives and sign international memorandums of understanding between public and private investment structures from the GCC countries and other regions. These agreements will create channels for cross-border financing in the clean energy, sustainable technology, medical tourism, smart infrastructure, and digital agriculture sectors.

Among the participants are Dr. Abdulla Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Sharjah Advisory Council, Hamid Mohammed bin Salem, Secretary-General of the Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Aisha Mohammed Saeed Al Mulla, Chairman of the UAE Business Women Council, as well as a delegation from SCC.

They will join investors, ministers, and heads of international economic institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and multinational corporations. The forum will be held under the motto: «Bridges between continents — from the GCC to Eurasia: investing in the future of global prosperity».

Speaking to the participants, Dr. Abdulla Belhaif Al Nuaimi noted that the connection between investment and sustainable development is strengthening amid the risks associated with climate change and resource depletion. He emphasized that the integration of ESG approaches reduces dependence on volatile assets and strengthens long-term sustainability. According to him, green technologies, renewable energy, and nature-friendly infrastructure are becoming key areas of capital attraction, and artificial intelligence-based tools help model climate scenarios and optimize investment portfolios.

He added that the forum brings together investors, politicians, and researchers, demonstrating the ability of the global economy to adapt to new challenges.

Dr. Sadeddin Mneimneh, founder of the forum and chairman of AGI Holding, stated that GIF is a strategic economic platform that strengthens interaction between the GCC countries and Eurasia. According to him, the event in Tbilisi will be a turning point in integration and a catalyst for a new wave of cross-border investments. He emphasized that the goal of the forum is to form long-term partnerships between governments, international institutions, and the private sector.

Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Commerce John W.H. Denton noted that in the context of global uncertainty, the private sector plays a key role in attracting investments that contribute to economic growth and support communities. He reminded that the ICC represents the interests of more than 45 million companies in 170 countries.

Georgia views the forum as an important step in strengthening international cooperation between developing markets and global investors. The country seeks to emphasize its position as a connecting link between the Middle East, Europe, and Central Asia.

Economic ties between the UAE and Georgia continue to grow: trade and investment volumes are increasing, and existing agreements in development and infrastructure projects exceed $6 billion. The UAE accounts for more than 63 percent of Georgia's trade with Arab countries, and their share in FDI reaches 5 percent, making the country the sixth largest investor in Georgia.

It is expected that GIF 2025 will lead to the conclusion of new investment agreements worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including in the areas of «green» projects, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure. These plans will strengthen the UAE's position as an economic hub connecting the GCC markets with Europe and Asia.
