Best day for qualified buyer meetings: Day 1 — Thursday 24 September 2026

Day one carries the opening plenary, ministerial and central-bank keynotes and most MoU signings, giving a single-day delegate the widest cross-section of decision-makers in one room. Day two suits delegates whose priority is pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking and closed investor roundtables. The forum runs Thursday–Friday, immediately ahead of the UAE weekend, so a Friday-evening departure is straightforward.

FAQs & glossary

Answers

Glossary

BRICS: Intergovernmental bloc originally formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, now enlarged with members including the UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and Indonesia. It covers roughly half the world's population and drives much of the forum's trade and investment agenda.
FDI: Foreign Direct Investment — cross-border capital put into productive assets or companies rather than traded securities. Forum panels track FDI flows into BRICS and Gulf markets.
MoU: Memorandum of Understanding — a written, usually non-binding framework agreement between two organisations. Ceremonial MoU signings are a standard feature of this forum's programme.
Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF): State-owned investment fund that manages national reserves. Gulf and BRICS sovereign funds are the largest single source of the mandate-driven capital at this event.
Family Office: A private entity managing the wealth and investments of one affluent family. Family offices typically attend for co-investment deals, real estate and emerging-market allocations.
B2B Matchmaking: Pre-scheduled, timed one-to-one meetings arranged by the organiser so delegates meet relevant counterparties instead of walking the floor at random.
Due Diligence: The investigation of a company's finances, legal standing and risks before an investment or partnership is signed. Delegates normally bring a checklist and data-room access.
ESG: Environmental, Social and Governance criteria used to screen investments and corporate performance. Increasingly a gatekeeper for Gulf and BRICS institutional capital.
ATA Carnet: An international customs document allowing goods such as samples, demo equipment and stand materials to be temporarily imported duty-free. The UAE accepts carnets, which removes the need for a cash customs deposit.
GCC: Gulf Cooperation Council — the six-state bloc of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, which shares a customs union and free movement for member nationals.
