The final day witnessed exceptional momentum, reaffirming the forum's position as a prominent international platform that brings together the visions of the Gulf and Eurasian countries and reshapes investment cooperation between the two regions. The forum was held in strategic partnership with the Eurasia Gulf Organization, with a major partnership with AGI Holding Group, and with the support of the Georgian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates and the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce – Middle East. It was sponsored by Petra Group, Evolutions , D&B Properties Group, and Royal B.

The second day's events began with a welcoming address that focused on the importance of economic dialogue and its role in expanding partnerships and market integration. The address featured His Excellency Salah Al Shamsi, Chairman of Liwa Investment, and Dr. Rok Mehana, Board Member and Strategic Advisor to Evolutions Group and D&B Properties. This session served as a prelude to the announcement of one of the forum's most prominent initiatives this year: the launch of the Saudi-Georgian Investment Platform .

The closing day witnessed the official announcement of the launch of the Saudi-Georgian Investment Platform, which is one of the most important outcomes of this year's forum, in the presence of Ahmed Al-Dakhil, Chairman of the Saudi Business Council - Central Asian Countries and Chairman of the Saudi-Georgian Business Council; George Svanidze, founder of the Petra Group; Ahmed Al-Areej, Chairman of the Luxury International Group; Dr. Taysir Al-Khunaizi, Partner and Executive Vice President of the Saudi-Georgian Investment Company; along with Dr. Saad Al-Din Mneimneh, Chairman of AGI Holding and founder of the World Investors Forum. This agreement is a pivotal milestone in the course of economic relations between the two countries, as it establishes an institutional framework that supports the flow of bilateral investments and enables the implementation of joint projects in key sectors including tourism, hospitality, health and wellness, agriculture, logistics and promising development projects .

The Saudi-Georgian Investment Platform is a joint investment project between Saudi and Georgian businesspeople, operating as a business entity with clear governance that ensures a safe and transparent environment for investors. Ahmed Al-Areej, Chairman of the Luxury Global Group, confirmed that the platform aims to strengthen economic and cultural ties between the two countries by launching a ready-made investment portfolio worth hundreds of millions, encompassing tourism, healthcare, service, and development projects in both Saudi Arabia and Georgia .

Al-Areej explained that Georgia has a large stock of natural resources, and wide opportunities in real estate development and wellness projects, as well as being an emerging and renewed tourist destination. In contrast, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia leads the regional economy thanks to its great potential in the fields of mining, energy, real estate development and tourism, which makes integration between the two economies an ideal opportunity to create projects of common strategic value .

Dr. Saad Eddine Mneimneh, Chairman of AGI Holding and founder of the World Investors Forum, affirmed that the forum was established to serve as a bridge connecting East and West, and to foster a vision that unites governments, investors, and innovators to build a future not confined by geography, but rather forged through partnerships, courage, and a shared vision. He added, "My commitment to this forum is clear: to build a platform that does not stop at its current boundaries, but evolves and expands to become a global engine for creating opportunities and building the economies of tomorrow."

In closing, Dr. Saad Al-Din Mneimneh, founder of the World Investors Forum, and Farah Harb, co-founder of Innovents ME , announced the new destinations that will host the World Investors Forum 2026, including the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Dominican Republic, in an expansion that reflects the increasing presence of the Forum and its growing role on the international investment map.

The launch of the platform was a direct result of the discussions held over two days at the forum, and a direct result of the vital role played by specialized sessions and bilateral business meetings in creating common ground for cooperation between investors and the exchange of visions between the Saudi and Georgian sectors. The new platform is expected to contribute to strengthening cross-border partnerships, facilitating investor access to promising markets, and supporting entrepreneurs and value-added initiatives .
