As the global economy undergoes major transformation, Vision Golfe 2025 is set to reinforce the strategic partnership between France and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Scheduled for 17–18 June in Paris, the forum will convene senior government officials, business leaders, and investors to explore opportunities in economic cooperation, innovation, and sustainable development.
Under the theme “From Bold Visions to Concrete Impact: A New Era of Cooperation,” the third edition of Vision Golfe will focus on translating strategic ambitions into actionable outcomes. The agenda spans ten key sectors including energy transition, AI, healthcare, smart infrastructure, and food security. Featured sessions such as “Blueprints for 2030” and “Innovating for Sustainability” will spotlight joint efforts to tackle climate challenges, drive innovation, and foster resilient economic ties.
The 2025 edition builds on the success of Vision Golfe 2024, which drew over 1,200 participants and yielded significant outcomes, including cooperation agreements between MAWANI and the Grand Port of Marseille Fos, and a new “France Lab” at Abu Dhabi’s Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
France, a leading destination for foreign investment in Europe, aims to position the forum as a strategic gateway for Gulf investors seeking access to European markets. The event will highlight investment opportunities in key sectors and facilitate cross-border partnerships.
In 2024, trade between France and the GCC reached Euro 20.9 billion, led by strong ties with the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This economic relationship is further underpinned by shared goals in industrial innovation, education, and sustainable development.
