Investopia investment summit has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Deloitte Middle East for collaboration to enrich the Summit’s discussions and workshops.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two parties will jointly study significant economic areas such as investments in Artificial Intelligence, social and environmental sustainability and governance, promoting women’s participation in economic growth, and the role of government policy in driving economic recovery from the pandemic.
The UAE will organize and host the first edition of the Investopia summit on 28th March alongside Expo 2020 Dubai. It is one of the major strategic initiatives under the ‘Projects of the 50’ announced by the UAE Government last year.
The inaugural edition of the Summit will witness the participation of more than 50 intellectuals and industry experts as well as more than 300 government officials, institutional investors, startup and SME leaders, social entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to share ideas, create opportunities, and promote future investments all over the world.
The MoU was signed by Abdullah Ahmad Al Saleh, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Economy and Mutasem Dajani, CEO of Deloitte Middle East in the presence of Abdulla bin Touq, Minister of Economy, along with senior officials from both sides.
Commenting on the partnership, the Minister of Economy said, “In the post-pandemic phase, the world is witnessing new investment dynamics while tackling issues of investments’ social and environmental impact.”
“We, therefore, believe in the necessity to develop a global platform to bring together government officials, investors, start-ups/small medium-size enterprises, sector leaders, social entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders to lay down the foundations of building a responsible and sustainable future economy,” he said.
