São Paulo – The 2nd edition of the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM), a seminar and investment fair promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the United Arab Emirates to attract capital into the region, starts this Tuesday (1st) in Dubai. The CEO of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce , Michel Alaby, will attend the meeting.
The event is meant to show potential investors where the opportunities are in each of the seven emirates, and the returns and profit margins of putting their money into projects in the region. The meeting aims to attract enterprises and investors from emerging countries such as Brazil. The organizers claim the event provides a “perfect combination” for institutional, corporate and individual investors to engage in fair trade.
The meeting will be attended by the Emirati Foreign Trade minister, Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qassimi; the Turkish minister of Economy, Zafer Caglayanroup; the Nigerian minister of Trade and Investment, Olesegun Aganga; the Libyan minister of Investment and International Cooperation, Riadh Bethaieb; and the Argentinian businessman and Tourism minister, Enrique Meyer.
The Arab Brazilian Chamber CEO notes that this year’s edition of the AIM will discuss investment attraction in the light of the impact of the Arab Spring on the Emirates. “This seminar is geared towards investment opportunities in the country and the economic attractiveness of the region. I believe the primary focus will be on infrastructure and real estate,” said Alaby.
In addition to watching addresses, participants will be able to take part in meetings with private entities, ministers, and mayors of potential target cities.
