The Middle East division of Yellowknife & Partners (YKP MENA) participated in the WAIPA World Investment Conference & Sharjah Investment Forum 2025 (WIC–SIF 2025), a global event held under the theme “Transforming Our World: Investing for a Resilient and Sustainable Future”, which took place in the United Arab Emirates from October 21 to 23, 2025.
Organized by the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA) and co-hosted by the UAE Ministry of Investment and the Sharjah FDI Office, the forum brought together government representatives, international institutions, investors and businesses from over one hundred countries to discuss new strategies for responsible investment and inclusive growth models.
During the conference, YKP MENA, the Dubai-based branch of Yellowknife & Partners, collaborated with UrbanV and Advanced Mobility Hub (AMH) – a member of the Multi Level Group (MLG) – to present development perspectives in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), a rapidly evolving sector that integrates urban infrastructure, eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) technologies and sustainable mobility frameworks.
The goal was to promote an integrated ecosystem for the mobility of the future, capable of connecting people and goods efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.
WIC–SIF 2025 served as a global platform for leading economic players, set against a backdrop of profound geopolitical changes and the growing need to redirect investment flows toward initiatives that generate both economic and social value. The working sessions and the Ministerial Roundtable addressed key topics such as investment sustainability, technological innovation, industrial policy, and public–private cooperation.
The participation of Yellowknife & Partners in the event is part of a long-term strategy aimed at consolidating the group’s presence in the MENA region, strengthening dialogue with regional institutions, and promoting projects focused on sustainability, digitalization, and smart mobility.
The company, headquartered in Milan and active in over 100 countries, has operated for nearly forty years in strategic and operational consulting, with established expertise in business development, governance and the management of industrial partnerships. Among its recent initiatives is the international joint venture HT Euthalia Systems Pvt. Ltd., which is bringing to India Antimpatto, an Italian technology for active lightning prevention.
“The WAIPA World Investment Conference offers a privileged vantage point to understand how investment logic is evolving in the post-industrial world,” said Giorgio Basaglia, Senior Partner at Yellowknife & Partners. “Participating in events of this level allows us to integrate diverse experiences and contribute to building a shared language between innovation, sustainability and economic development. The future of investment lies in cooperation and in a global vision that combines progress with responsibility.”
