Organised by the Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah), the forum will convene local and international decision-makers, investment and economic experts, and business leaders, who will also deliberate ways to enhance youth and women's participation in shaping a smart and sustainable future economy.
The two-day forum will address AI from a unique perspective, focussing on how it can achieve deeper integration in industrial, agricultural, and commercial processes and deliver public, health, and educational services. This will be examined through the lens of smart solutions for these sectors and the comprehensive integration of AI systems into the infrastructure of these industries.

Furthermore, the forum will spotlight investment opportunities in emerging and innovative sectors within Sharjah, further strengthening its competitiveness and global status as a preferred destination for investment."

By showcasing leading global practices, the event will demonstrate how strategic investments can enhance economic resilience, foster diversity, and elevate living standards.
SIF's agenda will spotlight various innovations, including advanced inventory management systems, demand forecasting tools, shipment tracking technologies, and strategies for resolving emergent issues.
The 7th edition will include a range of events and sessions to support these goals, such as specialised workshops on skill development and the application of AI technologies. In addition, panel discussions will feature insights from global economic leaders and government officials from local and regional contexts. The forum will serve as a platform for prominent entrepreneurs who share their success stories alongside inspiring speeches to foster a culture of growth and innovation, guide start-up owners towards success, and strengthen competitiveness.
