Annual UAE National Day Investment Workshop 2025

UAE Singapore Business Council (UAESBC) brings you our Annual UAE National Day Investment Workshop in Singapore on 25 November 2025, sponsored by HSBC, UAESBC and Rajah & Tann, along with the support of UAE Embassy in Singapore, Business China, China Enterprise Association, and CPG Corporation.

We are pleased to invite you to this high-level event that brings together government agencies, industry leaders, and key decision makers on key investment opportunities across the UAE, and explore deepening economic and commercial ties between the GCC and Asia with UAE, Singapore and China as strategic nodes for trade and investment in its broader adjacent regions. The UAE, ranked first in MENA for foreign direct investment and among the world’s top 20 in ease of doing business, has positioned itself as a key gateway to the MENA markets.

Set against this backdrop of accelerating trade and investment engagements, the workshop offers a timely platform to exchange insights, strengthen partnerships, and identify new investment opportunities across strategic sectors. We invite you to join us for this important dialogue as we celebrate UAE National Day and chart new pathways for collaboration.
