Themed “Redefining Economies: Making Significant Strides for a Better Future”, the aim of SIF 2023  has been to provide a platform for exploring investment opportunities in Sharjah, which has an integrated infrastructure with six free zones and 33 industrial zones, flexible laws and regulations, and a focus on sustainability and green growth.

During his panel, Alkhoshaibi highlighted Sharjah’s importance as a family-friendly location and explained how the local real estate sector had grown more attractive to global investors over the past decade. 

The Arada Group CEO also shared his views on the importance of well-planned integrated communities, such as the company’s Aljada and Masaar megaprojects, and stated that Arada’s determination to put people first had significantly contributed towards the company’s success in the six years since its foundation.  Last year, Arada reported a 46% increase in sales to AED3.51 billion compared to the previous year.
