Investing in 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years for capital movement and economic opportunity in the UAE. Gulf Business is taking the lead in decoding these trends with its flagship Breakfast Briefing panel event on June 25 at the Metropolitan Hotel Dubai.
This high-level gathering will bring together financial experts, strategists, and investors to discuss how public listings, global mobility, residence-by-investment, and generational wealth transfer are influencing investing in 2025.
UAE Remains a Top Investment Hub in 2025
In 2025, the UAE continues to lead the region in attracting global investors. The country’s strong regulatory framework, investor-friendly policies, and future-focused economy are pushing it ahead. From a booming IPO scene to increasing residence-by-investment schemes, the momentum is real.
According to Gulf Business, the upcoming panel is designed to help attendees understand what’s behind this powerful movement — and how to take advantage of it.
Themed Sessions at a Glance
The event’s theme is:
“UAE’s Hottest Investment Trends: What’s Driving Growth in 2025”
Gulf Business has designed the session around three key themes, each highlighting critical angles of investing in 2025:
Global Mobility & Residence-by-Investment
Time: 9:15 AM | Moderator: Claire Vuylsteke, Orbcom
This session will dive into how global uncertainties and tax restructuring are motivating high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) to seek alternative citizenship and relocation options. The demand for residence-by-investment is sharply rising, and the UAE is becoming a top destination.
Panellists will unpack why investing in multiple residencies is now a priority for global families, and how this trend is shaping capital flows in 2025.
IPO Outlook – 2025 and Beyond
Moderator: Gareth van Zyl, Gulf Business Group Editor
Dubai and Abu Dhabi have already made headlines with strong IPO activity. This panel will explore what’s next for the capital markets and how the UAE compares to global markets like New York and London.
