HE Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, will inaugurate Arqaam Capital’s 13th Annual MENA Investor Conference on Wednesday, 3 June 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton, DIFC, Dubai.
The conference will convene regional and global investors, listed corporates, policymakers, economists and market leaders to discuss the future of capital markets across the Middle East and North Africa.
His Excellency will deliver the opening keynote address, setting the stage for discussions on capital markets, investment flows and regional economic transformation.
Held under the theme ‘From Resilience to Market Leadership: Scaling Capital Across MENA’, the conference comes at a time when regional markets are attracting growing international investor attention amid ongoing economic diversification, capital market expansion, sovereign investment activity, active IPO pipelines and increasing cross-border investment flows.
Diverse participation
The programme will feature senior executives and decision-makers from leading organisations including Dubai Financial Market, Bahrain Bourse, Boursa Kuwait, Muscat Stock Exchange, ADNOC Drilling, ADES Holding, First Abu Dhabi Bank, TECOM Group, Dubai Residential REIT, Binghatti and Shorooq Partners, among others.
Over two days, participants will examine the opportunities, challenges and trends shaping the next phase of regional growth, including IPO readiness, GCC exchange development, fixed income and sukuk markets, sovereign capital deployment, banking sector transformation, real estate, energy security, artificial intelligence, quantitative investing and cross-border investment flows.
“From the region’s growing role in global capital flows, to the GCC’s IPO and sukuk pipelines, to the structural reforms reshaping the region’s largest economies, the agenda reflects the questions that matter most to capital today,” asserted Riad Meliti, Chief Executive Officer, Arqaam Capital.
