Investopia Global Talks to be held in Cyprus to strengthen new economy collaboration and investment partnerships with Mediterranean business communities

Total investment flows from Cyprus to the UAE exceeded AED420 million between 2020 and 2024

In the presence of H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of Investopia, Investopia announced the launch of a new edition of its Global Talks series, titled ‘Investopia Global – Mediterranean.’ The inaugural edition will be held next week in Cyprus, aiming to foster dialogue and collaboration across key sectors of the new economy, including tourism, entrepreneurship, innovation, energy, renewable energy, fintech, and transport and logistics. The event will bring together regional and global investment communities to explore contemporary trends in investment and financing within the Mediterranean and European markets, while highlighting emerging opportunities that connect the UAE with strategic markets in the region.

Held in collaboration with IMH, the event forms part of the broader economic and investment partnership between the UAE and Cyprus. It underscores Investopia’s role as a national platform that supports investors and companies in exploring opportunities in new markets, while also attracting further investment into the UAE. Prominent figures, including ministers, government officials, decision makers, businessmen, experts, investors and entrepreneurs, will participate in the event, alongside representatives from many private sector companies and financial institutions in the UAE, Cyprus, and Europe.

The inaugural edition of Investopia Global – Mediterranean will feature a series of panel discussions and roundtable meetings focused on leveraging the strategic location of the UAE and Mediterranean countries as key economic gateways. The event aims to enhance joint investment and trade exchanges, while opening new avenues for economic growth at both regional and global levels. Discussions will also address mechanisms to strengthen cooperation between the Emirati and Cypriot business communities and stimulate investment in sectors aligned with the new economy and sustainability. Additionally, the agenda will explore opportunities for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), review ways for companies to capitalize on active mutual investments between the UAE and Cyprus and examine current global economic challenges. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of adopting flexible economic policies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively.

The event is part of Investopia’s global agenda for 2025 and marks its first edition in the Mediterranean region, following the successful Investopia Europe forum held in Milan last May. It will be followed by a series of global events scheduled throughout the year in major cities across India, China, and other countries, further reinforcing Investopia’s commitment to expanding international investment dialogue and cooperation.

Economic cooperation between the UAE and Cyprus continues to grow across various fields of mutual interest. From 2020 to 2024, Cyprus’s total investment flows into the UAE exceeded AED 420 million (USD 114.6 million). Today, more than 424 Cypriot brands operate in the UAE market, spanning key sectors such as technology, education, energy, infrastructure, and transport and logistics. Air connectivity between the two countries has also strengthened, with over 19 weekly flights operated by carriers from both sides.
