The Tycoons initiative, organized by the AIM Global Foundation, will make its inaugural appearance in Dubai on April 12, 2026, as a featured component of the prestigious AIM Congress 2026. This high-level, invitation-only networking event is designed to assemble approximately 500 distinguished local and international decision-makers in what promises to be the world's most exclusive and high-trust environment for strategic intelligence exchange.
A New Generation of Investment Platforms
Operating under the theme "Titan 2.0: The New Rules of Power, Legacy, and Impact," Tycoons represents a transformative approach to investment gatherings where influence is measured not merely by capital deployment but by foresight, stewardship, and measurable global impact. The event positions Dubai as the central convening point where global capital intersects with innovation, governance, and cross-border opportunities, reflecting the United Arab Emirates' strategic role as a bridge between advanced and emerging economies.
Three Interconnected Investment Circles
Tycoons will advance the global investment agenda through three carefully structured Investment Circles that define the 21st-century economy:
- Trade and Investment
- Family Wealth and Capital
- The Future Economy
Through a meticulously curated program featuring closed-door dialogues, confidential roundtables, and precision networking sessions, participants will translate strategic insights into actionable partnerships. The event prioritizes depth, discretion, and alignment, enabling leaders to assess transformational opportunities, de-risk governance frameworks, and establish long-term collaboration pathways within a trusted, concentrated environment.
Strategic Timing and Global Significance
The launch of Tycoons arrives at a pivotal moment as the UAE solidifies its position as a global investment and innovation hub, supported by diversified economic growth, record foreign direct investment inflows, and a forward-looking regulatory landscape. Against this backdrop, Tycoons provides an essential platform where institutional capital, private wealth, and corporate leadership collectively address the macro shifts redefining trade flows, digital transformation, sustainability, and the future of inclusive value creation.
Keynote Remarks from UAE Leadership
Delivering the keynote remarks on the UAE's strategic vision, H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Foreign Trade and President of AIM Congress, emphasized the nation's pivotal role as a global catalyst for investment and its commitment to fostering international cooperation through high-level platforms.
"The UAE's commitment to diversification, innovation and sustainable development has created a platform that transforms ambition into action and capital into continuous, consistent opportunity," stated His Excellency. "Tycoons reflects the nation's ability to not only bridge advanced and emerging economies but align priorities, develop networks and facilitate investment that can deliver lasting global impact."
The event's exclusive nature ensures that only sovereign wealth executives, family-office principals, institutional investors, global CEOs, and visionary founders will participate in outcome-driven dialogues designed to define the next era of investment leadership. This gathering represents a significant milestone in the evolution of global investment forums, combining traditional financial expertise with emerging priorities around sustainability, innovation, and cross-border collaboration.
