DUBAI, 26th April, 2023 (WAM) — GlobalData Plc, a leading intelligence company headquartered in London, England, has recently announced a knowledge partnership with the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM Global), an esteemed investment platform in the Middle East. This partnership will see the creation of a series of dynamic workshops, panel discussions and a special Middle East and Africa-focused FDI report to be launched during AIM Global.
This year’s Annual Investment Meeting, held in Abu Dhabi from 8th to 10th May under the theme “The Investment Paradigm Shift: Future Investment Opportunities to Foster Sustainable Economic Growth, Diversity and Prosperity”, is supported by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development. AIM Global will be participated in by over 600 high-level speakers in more than 160 dialogue sessions.
GlobalData will work together with AIM Global in developing its agenda and conference topics and will extend invitations to distinguished speakers and business influencers from the GlobalData network to enrich AIM Global’s audience with insightful discussions.
As part of the agreement, Glenn Barklie, Chief Economist of FDI, GlobalData, will be launching a Middle East and Africa FDI Annual Report based on GlobalData’s 2022 FDI Greenfield Projects Data, macro-economic, industry and companies insights. The report will ensure investors have the intelligence they need to make better, more informed business decisions for expanding into the MEA region. Aside from collaborating on events, GlobalData will also support AIM Global with judging and data insights for the AIM Global 2023 Investment Awards and supporting with marketing outreach to targeted business leaders throughout its network of 30-plus B2B websites, including Investment Monitor.
