As 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Investment Migration Council (IMC), the Dubai edition of the Investment Migration Forum offers unique opportunities to connect with sector leaders and key decision-makers. Seen by many as the ‘Davos of Investment Migration,’ this three-day event is the largest non-profit gathering focused on residence and citizenship by investment in the world.
Renowned academics, government officials, and top professionals from over 40 countries will come together to exchange ideas, share success stories, and explore new concepts. The Forum will feature more than 50 high-ranking speakers, including leaders from academia, government, blue-chip companies, and the global investment migration sphere.
In this exclusive interview with IMGW news*, we meet Estelle Nogues, Associate Director – Investment Migration Forum, to learn more about the Investment Migration Forum.
