The Annual Investment Meeting (AIM Congress) 2026 takes place from 7 to 9 September at Dubai World Trade Centre, spanning the Al Multaqua Ballroom, Halls 1–4, the Pavilion, and the Trade Centre Arena. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, AIM Congress has established itself as the world's leading investment platform — a place where public and private sectors, policymakers, and innovators converge to shape the direction of global capital.
Reshaping Global Prosperity
This year's theme — 'Reshaping Global Prosperity: Unlocking New Investment Pathways Towards a Sustainable and Inclusive Future' — reflects the congress's ambition to move beyond traditional investment frameworks. AIM Congress 2026 puts the spotlight on economic diversification, digital transformation, sustainable finance, and inclusive growth models that serve emerging and developed markets alike. With 20,000+ delegates and 400+ regional and international participating institutions, the three-day event creates an unrivalled environment for deal-making and dialogue.
A Full Ecosystem Under One Roof
AIM Congress is far more than a conference. The programme spans high-level plenary sessions, targeted roundtables, investment destination showcases, workshops, pitch competitions, MoU signings, and a prestigious awards ceremony. Alongside the international exhibition, side events create opportunities for bilateral meetings and private-sector matchmaking — connecting government investment promotion agencies, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, banks, technology companies, and civil society organisations in a single, purpose-built environment.
- 20,000+ delegates from government, private sector, finance, technology, and academia attending over three days.
- 400+ regional and international institutions spanning banking, financial services, and technology sectors.
- Investment destination showcases giving nations and regions a platform to attract global capital.
- MoU signings, pitch competitions, and an awards ceremony recognising excellence in sustainable investment.
AIM Congress exemplifies why Dubai is the address of choice for the world's most consequential investment conversations. At Magnifica, we are proud to witness — and support — events of this stature, where the ambitions of nations and the strategies of global capital meet in one of the most dynamic cities on earth.
