The World Investment Forum 2026, organized by the United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in partnership with the State of Qatar, will take place in Doha from 25 to 27 October 2026. Held under the theme “Investing in the Future,” the Forum brings together policymakers, investors, and business leaders from around the world to discuss the trends shaping global investment flows, from climate finance to digital transformation.
For international investors and companies exploring opportunities that connect global capital with high-growth markets, events of this scale offer a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the institutions and policymakers driving the investment agenda. Discussions in Doha are also expected to touch on mobilizing capital for infrastructure, energy, and industrialization in emerging markets — including Sub-Saharan Africa — and on building new partnerships between international and African investors.
ConnInv2A will be following the discussions from Doha and sharing relevant takeaways with our network in the weeks ahead.
