Islamic Development Bank Group Business Forum (THIQAH) Champions Sustainable Investment at World Investment Conference and Sharjah Investment Forum 2025

SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates, – The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group Business Forum, THIQAH played a central role in advancing sustainable investment and cross-border collaboration during the 29th World Investment Conference (WIC) and 8th Sharjah Investment Forum (SIF), held from October 22–23, 2025.

Jointly organized by the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA), the Sharjah FDI Office and the UAE Ministry of Investment, the events gathered global leaders, ministers, CEOs, and investment promotion agencies (IPAs) from more than 100 countries under the theme “Transforming Our World: Investing for a Resilient and Sustainable Future.”

Throughout the conference, THIQAH was instrumental in facilitating partnerships and investment dialogue across IsDB member countries. Its representatives held high-level discussions with investment promotion agencies and private sector leaders, identifying co-investment opportunities and strategic collaborations that strengthen THIQAH’s position as a bridge between international investors and key projects in IsDB economies.

THIQAH’s participation included a prominent exhibition booth, which highlighted the IsDB Group’s initiatives in sustainable finance, private sector development, and investment facilitation. The forum’s activities resulted in new partnerships, investment leads, and enhanced global visibility for THIQAH as a driver of responsible and inclusive growth.

Delegates also contributed to expert panels, workshops, and networking sessions, sharing policy perspectives and best practices on resilient investment, sustainability, and innovation. These engagements reinforced THIQAH’s mission to promote responsible, inclusive, and resilient investments that align with global sustainable development goals.

By championing dialogue on innovative investment models, THIQAH reaffirmed its commitment to the “Decade of Promoting Investment for Good”, while laying the groundwork for future collaboration, including participation in the upcoming Private Sector Forum (PSF) 2026.

As the IsDB Group’s business interface, THIQAH serves as a vital platform connecting member countries, private investors, and development partners. It facilitates dialogue, builds confidence, and fosters long-term partnerships that leverage the IsDB Group’s financial tools to maximize cross-border investments and stimulate economic growth across the Muslim world and beyond.

By driving such conversations, THIQAH reaffirmed its role as a bridge between business and humanity, linking global investors with local realities and contributing to the ongoing Decade of Promoting Investment for Good.

As the organization looks ahead to the Private Sector Forum 2026, it continues to demonstrate how investment, when rooted in ethical purpose and collaboration, can serve as a force for stability, shared prosperity, and cultural understanding.
