Ras Al Khaimah Chamber and AIM Global Foundation chart course for expanded investment events

A strategic partnership between the emirate's chamber and the global foundation will deepen the reach of investment summits and business conferences, drawing international investors to Ras Al Khaimah's priority sectors.

Two institutions with deep roots in advancing commerce across the region have joined forces to reshape the investment landscape in Ras Al Khaimah. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry and AIM Global Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that positions them to co-develop, organise and promote a suite of exhibitions, conferences and specialised summits designed to attract capital and opportunity to the emirate.

The partnership, formalised on the sidelines of the press conference for the third edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Investment and Business Summit 2026, represents a deliberate strategy to expand the regional and international reach of these events. By drawing on the respective expertise and capabilities of both organisations, the agreement creates a framework for connecting companies and investors with opportunities in global markets whilst simultaneously showcasing Ras Al Khaimah’s priority sectors and investment-ready projects to an international audience.

Dr. Rashid Khalfan Al Nuaimi, Director-General of Ras Al Khaimah Chamber, and Dawood Al Shezawi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AIM Global Foundation, signed the memorandum in the presence of Mohamed Mosbbeh Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. The agreement charts a course toward the AIM Investment Summit: Ras Al Khaimah Edition, a new flagship event designed to deepen the emirate’s position as a gateway for regional and international investment.

The scope of cooperation spans several dimensions. The two parties will strengthen participation of Ras Al Khaimah’s business community in the AIM Summit and its international editions, whilst organising dedicated meetings between companies, investors and financial institutions. They will exchange market intelligence and investment promotion expertise, coordinate international delegation visits and site tours, and develop a joint action plan to monitor implementation and sustain momentum. As we reported, Ras Al Khaimah continues to convene investment summits as the emirate charts an ambitious growth trajectory, with the November summit bringing together government officials and international investors to explore opportunities in technology, innovation and real estate development.

The partnership underscores a broader commitment to private sector growth and economic diversification across Ras Al Khaimah. By creating new opportunities for collaboration among companies across various sectors, and stimulating investment through structured engagement with global markets, the two institutions aim to position the emirate as an increasingly attractive destination for capital and entrepreneurial talent. The memorandum reflects a recognition that investment readiness requires not simply the availability of opportunity, but the active cultivation of platforms where such opportunities can be discovered, evaluated and realised.

What it means for Abu Dhabi

This partnership reinforces the united approach across the Emirates in attracting global investment and promoting economic growth. As one emirate strengthens its investment ecosystem through enhanced event programming and international engagement, the entire federation benefits from a more competitive and dynamic business environment that raises standards across the region.

The expansion of summits and conferences in Ras Al Khaimah also creates additional avenues for businesses and investors throughout the UAE to connect with international markets and explore cross-emirate opportunities. The emphasis on showcasing priority sectors and investment-ready projects reflects a broader UAE strategy of strategic economic diversification and sector-specific development.
