7th World Investment Forum, 18-22 October 2021: Registration is now open
15 Sep 2021Registration for the seventh World Investment Forum, scheduled to take place from 18 to 22 October 2021, is now open.
Please register here. There is no fee to join, but registration is required.
The
seventh Forum will focus on the theme of “Investing in sustainable recovery”,
addressing key challenges and opportunities for the global
investment-development community. Building forward better will not be possible
without reigniting investment, both domestic and international, as an engine of
growth. The Forum will specifically tackle the key issues arising from the new
industrial revolution, the sustainability imperative, the realignment of economic
governance, and the efforts for greater economic resilience. The deliberations
will be informed by the
World Investment Report 2020: International Production beyond the Pandemic and the World Investment Report 2021: Investing in Sustainable Recovery. The seventh Forum will respond to the call by the UN
General Assembly for concrete recommendations on how to overcome the impacts of
the pandemic on promoting investments for sustainable development. The Forum’s
outcome will feed back into the 76th General Assembly’s deliberations for
global policy actions.
The Forum is a multi-stakeholder gathering, designed to facilitate dialogue and
action on investment-development challenges. It is recognized by Governments
and business leaders as the pre-eminent global gathering for investment
partnership and policymaking, providing a platform for interaction among the
key stakeholders including state leaders and ministers, parliamentarians, CEOs
of global companies, family businesses, heads of investment promotion agencies,
investment treaty negotiators, impact investors and foundations, stock exchange
executives, and pension and sovereign wealth funds managers, international
standard setters, entrepreneurs, academia and representatives of civil society.
The seventh Forum will feature about 100 high-profile events, including the
World Leaders Investment Summits, Ministerial Round Tables, the Investment
Promotion Conference, the International Investment Agreements Conference, the
Sustainable Stock Exchanges Global Dialogue, the Institutional Investors for
Sustainable Development Roundtable, the Family Business and Sustainable
Development Conference, minister-business executive dialogues,
multi-stakeholder sessions on key themes, and prestigious UN award ceremonies, as
well as the launching of a number of global initiatives for investment in
sustainable development. The preliminary program for the seventh Forum can be
found on the Forum’s
website.
The Forum will be organized in collaboration with over 80 international
partners (including the International Chamber of Commerce, World Economic
Forum, World Federation of Stock Exchanges, World Association of Investment
Promotion Agencies, Family Business Network International, WTO, World Bank,
World Academy of International Business). The key internationally renowned
media (print, TV and social) will cover the various sessions of the Forum and disseminate
its deliberations.
We look forward to welcoming you online in October.
