The ninth Sharjah Investment Forum will bring together entrepreneurs, investors and business experts on October 14 and 15 to explore how economies can become more resilient and turn investment opportunities into scalable ventures.
Held at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre in Sharjah, the forum will feature more than 140 activities covering artificial intelligence, supply chains, smart cities, women’s and youth entrepreneurship, and commercial arbitration.
Workshops will examine practical issues including the use of AI to strengthen supply chains, simplify UAE tax compliance and corporate tax obligations, verify supplier data, and improve invoice management. Speakers will also discuss smart city development, robotics, architectural innovation and the role of arbitration in protecting investments and maintaining business relationships.
The programme includes sessions on women in leadership, future opportunities for young people, and the psychological factors and biases that influence decisions by investors, founders and business leaders.
According to Invest in Sharjah data, the emirate attracted AED 7.74 billion in capital for foreign direct investment projects in 2025, creating 5,673 jobs. Organisers expect more than 10,000 participants from over 60 countries and more than 80 direct business meetings.
