AIM Summit, the leading alternative investment summit, has announced a line-up of speakers featuring the world’s leading voices on the subjects of investment developments, global market conditions and latest trends. In another sign of the growing influence of Dubai and the UAE on the global financial stage, leading policymakers, financiers and technology executives are set to gather on 21-22 October 2024 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers.

Geopolitical and global economic affairs will be covered by the leading policymakers:
