WIF 2026 begins in Doha today

The 9th World Investment Forum (WIF) 2026 has commenced in Doha, Qatar, under the theme "Investing in the Future." This event, co-hosted by Qatar and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), brings together heads of state, ministers, CEOs, business leaders, sovereign wealth fund executives, and representatives from international organizations.

The forum, which runs until October 27, will focus on key shifts and issues reshaping the global investment landscape, with 108 high-level sessions and dialogues across eight thematic tracks. These tracks include investment in artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized enterprises, investment policies, sustainable finance and business, tourism and culture, climate and the environment, and investment promotion and special economic zones.

The opening ceremony, attended by Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed al-Sayed and Pedro Manuel Moreno, highlights the significance of Doha's role in fostering international dialogue and cooperation on future investment and development trends.
