UAE Tops in Attracting AI and Skilled Talent in 2024
Home » Latest news » UAE Tops in Attracting AI and Skilled Talent in 2024 The UAE tops the Middle East and North Africa region as a leading destination for foreign direct investment (FDI), ranking 10th globally in 2024, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2025. The country achieved AED 167.6 billion (USD 45.6 billion) in FDI inflows, marking an unprecedented growth amid a challenging global landscape. The UAE Foreign Direct Investment Report 2025, issued by the Ministry of Investment, revealed the nation's strong performance in attracting capital across strategic sectors. Despite global uncertainties, the UAE maintained its position as a preferred destination for investors. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, announced that the country accounted for 37% of all FDI inflows into the region in 2024. He highlighted that out of every $100 invested in the region, $37 comes to the UAE. The country also ranked second globally in the number of newly announced FDI projects, following the United States. The report showed a 48% increase in FDI inflows compared to the previous year. The UAE's goal is to attract AED 1.3 trillion in FDI over the next six years, further boosting its economy. Despite a global slowdown in greenfield FDI projects, the UAE recorded a 2.8% growth, reaching AED 53.3 billion (USD 14.5 billion) in announced greenfield investments. It ranked second globally with 1,369 new greenfield projects announced in 2024. The Ministry of Investment leads efforts to create a flexible and competitive environment for global capital. It works closely with federal and local authorities, investment agencies, and private sector partners to develop policies that enhance the UAE's attractiveness as an investment hub. Annual FDI inflows have risen steadily from AED 31.6 billion (USD 8.6 billion) in 2015 to AED 167.6 billion in 2024. The cumulative FDI stock reached USD 270.6 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 10.5% over nine years. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Minister of Investment, stated that this FDI growth reflects the UAE's strategic vision and long-term leadership. He added that the ministry remains committed to providing a competitive business environment and regulatory framework aligned with national priorities. Key economic sectors driving FDI include software and IT services (11.5%), business services (9.7%), renewable energy (9.3%), coal, oil, and gas (9%), and real estate (7.8%). The energy sector attracted AED 4.8 billion (USD 1.3 billion) in greenfield FDI, supporting the UAE's goal to triple renewable energy production by 2030. The UAE's policies on full foreign ownership in mainland companies, a 9% corporate tax rate, streamlined licensing, and legal protections have fostered investor confidence. The Dubai International Arbitration Centre strengthens investor protection further. The country also ranks fifth globally in attracting highly skilled talent, according to the 2024 Global Talent Competitiveness Index by INSEAD. It ranks third in attracting AI talent, based on Stanford University's 2024 AI Index. The UAE's global partnerships support its investment environment, with 21 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements and 120 bilateral investment treaties in place. Digital transformation investments continue to grow. For example, the USD 1.5 billion joint venture between Microsoft and Abu Dhabi-based G42 aims to advance AI capabilities and innovation. The National Investment Strategy 2031 targets doubling annual FDI inflows by 2031, aiming for AED 2.2 trillion in cumulative FDI. It focuses on priority sectors such as advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, financial services, and IT, emphasizing sustainability and innovation. Key Points: UAE attracted AED 167.6 billion in FDI inflows in 2024, ranking 10th globally. The country accounted for 37% of regional FDI inflows and ranked 2nd in new FDI projects. The National Investment Strategy 2031 aims to double FDI inflows, focusing on key sectors and innovation. This report confirms the UAE's position as a stable and attractive destination for foreign direct investment, supported by strong policies, strategic partnerships, and ongoing economic diversification.

UAE Secures Tenth Spot in World FDI Rankings
The United Arab Emirates drew AED 167.6 billion in foreign direct investment in 2024, climbing to tenth position globally, according to the UN Conference on Trade and Development's World Investment Report 2025. This 48.7 percent surge from 2023 cements the UAE as a top-tier destination for international capital, with greenfield projects playing a central role. Foreign investors backed 1,369 new greenfield ventures worth AED 53.3 billion, placing the UAE second globally in announced projects, trailing only the United States. Remarkably, nearly 37 percent of total FDI into the Middle East went to the UAE. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum described the achievement as 'an international vote of confidence in the UAE's economy', adding that AED 37 of every AED 100 invested in the region now enters the UAE. He attributed the growth to a unified national development agenda under President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, underpinned by strategic policy clarity and government cohesion. ADVERTISEMENT The UAE's cumulative FDI stock has reached AED 994.9 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 10.5 percent since 2015. This growth trajectory builds on a decade-long expansion, with inflows growing from AED 31.6 billion in 2015 to AED 167.6 billion in 2024. A diverse range of sectors attracted foreign capital. Software and IT services projects led greenfield values with 11.5 percent, followed by business services, renewable energy, oil and gas, and real estate. Energy-specific inflows to renewable initiatives reached AED 4.8 billion, helping drive a national target to triple clean-energy capacity by 2030. The Ministry of Investment, established in 2023 with Mohamed Hassan Al Suwaidi as minister, was credited with orchestrating this outcome through regulatory reforms and global outreach. Under its stewardship, clear legislation and incentives—including full foreign-ownership rights, a standard corporate tax of 9 percent, and streamlined licensing—have enhanced the investment environment. Global rankings reflect these advances: the UAE placed fifth in the 2024 Global Talent Competitiveness Index and third in the 2024 Stanford AI Index for AI talent attraction. The nation has also forged 21 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements and 120 bilateral investment treaties, further easing entry for international investors. National strategy for the next decade envisions doubling cumulative FDI to AED 1.3 trillion by 2031, aligned with the National Investment Strategy 2031 which prioritises sustainable growth through sector diversification. Initiatives focus on attracting innovation and green investments while scaling existing operations. Despite a global slowdown in productive FDI—with global flows down 11 percent adjusted for conduit economies—the UAE has charted a positive 2.8 percent rise in greenfield projects, underscoring its resilience. Legal insight from White & Case points to ongoing sector-specific reforms that will deepen the FDI ecosystem, including possible relaxation of onshore investment restrictions and expansion of free zone offerings.
