On Saturday, Qatar and the United Nations raised their flags together in Doha, signaling the upcoming World Investment Forum 2026. The event, hosted by Qatar in collaboration with UNCTAD, will convene global leaders to discuss the future of investment and development over three days, concluding on October 27. The ceremony, attended by Minister of State for Foreign Trade Dr Ahmad bin Mohammed Al Sayed and UNCTAD Acting Secretary-General Pedro Manuel Moreno, highlights Doha's role in fostering international dialogue on trade, investment, and sustainable development.
This marks a significant moment in Doha's history, as the city hosted the UN flag-raising alongside Qatar's flag for the first time in 2012. The World Investment Forum 2026 will tackle pressing global investment issues, featuring 108 high-level sessions and discussions with 406 speakers across eight thematic tracks. Key topics include AI investment, entrepreneurship, SME financing, sustainable finance, tourism and culture, climate and environment, investment policy, and special economic zones.
As the world economy evolves rapidly, the forum aims to encourage cross-border partnerships and turn emerging opportunities into real projects. By gathering government officials, international organizations, investors, and industry experts, the event seeks to promote policies and initiatives that will support future investment and development.
