Taking a step forward to solidify cross-border bilateral economic collaboration, the World Governments Summit together with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is set to stage the first Latin America and Caribbean Investment Forum on February 2, 2026 in Dubai. The program seeks to open new channels for private capital, encourage economic diversification, and encourage international business expansion.
The forum will act as the venue for dialogue between the investors, policymakers, and business leaders, drawing out the important investment opportunities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Through cross-sector stakeholders, the event seeks to create partnerships that drive sustainable growth and drive innovation in these two areas.
The forum aims at the creation of a platform for an investment corridor between Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This corridor is seen as one way into bilateral collaborations: among those in the world of trade, finance, and science and technology: investors, and governments will gain by exchanging information.
There will be interesting conversations, networking events, strategic sessions to locate high-value projects and investment-ready organisations for participants. The forum will serve as a road map for global investment as well as shining a light on sectors, including renewable energy, agribusiness, technology, and infrastructure, that are on an upswing.
Forums such as this are critical global marketing hubs in an increasingly interdependent global markets such as these, capital mobility, innovation and cooperation in the cross-commodities, innovation and the spread of wealth between countries, and the development of financial technology on new networks all over the world in an era of more interconnected global markets.
The occasion is a landmark in the reinforcement of our economic diplomacy between Latin America, the Caribbean, and the UAE – showing an important step in its development of economic diplomacy in the Gulf as a whole, and that strategic partnership of various countries and economies can bring sustainability to the world community on a global stage.
