The 8th Sharjah Investment Forum (SIF 2025), held concurrently with the World Investment Conference (WIC) for the first time, provided a platform for investors, entrepreneurs, and business leaders to explore opportunities across industrial, technology, agriculture, and services sectors. Mohamed Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah, noted that the forum highlighted the emirate’s ongoing efforts to attract international investors from Europe, India, Brazil, and the United States.
Al Musharrkh emphasized the success of Sharjah’s AI-powered trade license, launched in collaboration with Microsoft, which has simplified entry for new investors and reduced administrative challenges. Among foreign investors, India ranked first, followed by Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt, and China.
Empowering Entrepreneurs and Women in Business
A key focus of the forum was entrepreneurship and women’s economic participation. Ayesha Mohammed Saeed Al Mulla, Chairperson of the Emirates Businesswomen Council (EBWC), highlighted initiatives to empower women, enhance their capabilities, and connect Emirati women to global, regional, and local investment opportunities. These efforts align with the vision of H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women’s Union and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, to strengthen women’s engagement in the economy.
Corporate Participation and Strategic Projects
Several companies showcased their investments and growth strategies. Al Rasikhoon Real Estate, represented by General Manager Khalifa Sultan bin Harib Al Muhairi, reported total investments exceeding AED 2 billion in Sharjah. Its Rawdat Al Sidr project achieved 90% sales, and the company is preparing a new industrial development offering competitively priced plots for investors.
