The Sharjah Investment Forum (SIF 2025) has unveiled an impressive line-up of over 95 prominent figures from the global business and investment community, including leading women in the field such as financial educator Codie Sanchez and DAMAC’s Amira Sajwani.
Scheduled to take place on 22–23 October at the Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre, SIF 2025 will run in parallel with the World Investment Conference. The event, organised by the Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah) in collaboration with WAIPA and the UAE Ministry of Investment, is expected to draw more than 10,000 participants from across the world. With over 160 sessions and 120 business meetings on the agenda, the forum will provide a key platform for investment dialogue, deal-making, and strategic collaboration under the theme: “Transforming Our World: Investing for a Resilient and Sustainable Future.”
Key female figures shaping investment conversations
This year’s speaker roster brings together thought leaders and innovators from a range of industries and markets. Among them is Codie Sanchez, Founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a New York Times bestselling author and the creator of a financial education platform with more than 2.5 million subscribers. With a combined following of over 10.5 million across social media, Sanchez is on a mission to help one million people achieve financial independence through small business ownership. She challenges conventional financial wisdom by highlighting how recession-proof businesses can be a viable route to wealth. “International expansion is a key part of our strategy, alongside the implementation of AI across all our processes,” she said, outlining her approach to empowering entrepreneurs through ownership.
Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of Sales & Development at DAMAC Properties and Founder and CEO of PRYPCO, will contribute her perspective as a leading Emirati entrepreneur in the property technology sector. Sajwani, who was named in Forbes Middle East’s 30 Under 30 and is a judge on Shark Tank Dubai, is known for her advocacy for women in business and education, as well as her efforts to transform real estate ownership in the UAE.
A platform for global collaboration
SIF 2025 is designed to act as a major meeting ground for policymakers, investors, and business leaders, creating opportunities to explore partnerships and strategies that align with regional and global development priorities. By bringing together decision-makers and industry pioneers, the event aims to channel capital and expertise towards a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive global economy.
With a high-profile speaker list and a strong focus on actionable investment strategies, the Sharjah Investment Forum is set to be one of the most influential events on the international investment calendar this year.
