On 25 October 2026, Dubai will host the inaugural Palestinian Investment Forum, an initiative organised by the Palestinian Business Council, aimed at bolstering partnerships and connecting investors with promising projects. This event will take place at the SEE Institute in the Sustainable City, gathering a distinguished group of investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and aspiring project owners, alongside talented Palestinians seeking growth and networking opportunities.
Fostering Connections and Showcasing Opportunities
The Palestinian Investment Forum intends to strengthen ties between the Palestinian business community in the UAE and beyond, spotlighting viable investment opportunities and facilitating direct collaboration between investors and project initiators. The event provides a platform for Palestinian youth, innovative thinkers, and small businesses to present their projects, engage with investors and experts, explore funding avenues, and access new markets. It also creates avenues for talents searching for career opportunities to establish relationships with the business community and understand its specific needs.
Participation of Emerging Startups
Approximately 20 startups from Palestine and the UAE will showcase their contributions to supporting the Palestinian economy. Engineer Motasem Al-Daour, President of the Palestinian Business Council, stated, “The Palestinian Investment Forum unites investors, business leaders, and project owners to discuss investment prospects in Palestine and the challenges faced. The forum opens doors for promising Palestinian projects and emerging companies to attract investment, forge new partnerships, and create business opportunities in the UAE and beyond.”
Building a Comprehensive Ecosystem for Collaboration
The forum aims to establish a system that combines capital with knowledge, talent, and innovation. It seeks to convert discussions and meetings into actionable partnerships and projects, enhancing the capacity of Palestinian businesses to grow and compete across borders.
A Strategic Setting for Growth
Taking place in Dubai, known as a hub for business, investment, and innovation, the forum leverages the UAE’s status as a melting pot of cultures and competencies. This environment presents opportunities for Palestinian talent to develop their projects, expand their networks, and access global markets.
The Palestinian Investment Forum 2026 aspires to be a launching pad for long-term partnerships and promising investments, whose impacts will extend beyond the event itself, translating the potential of the Palestinian business community into tangible economic opportunities.
