The Forum devises strategies and solutions for global investment and development challenges. It facilitates multi-stakeholder collective action to stimulate investment in development.
The Forum was set up to fill the investment institutional gap in the international economic governance architecture. Since its inception, it has served as the leading forum to leverage investment policy for sustainable development. Organized under the overall theme “Investment in Sustainable Development”. The Forum will address global challenges for international investment in the new era of globalization and industrialization. Investment stakeholders will gather to brainstorm solution-oriented initiatives and build global partnerships to advance prosperity for all.
