Sharjah: A panel of leading business executives, moderated by David Hamod, the President and CEO of the National US-Arab Chamber of Commerce, will explore one of the key topics at the 12th World Forum for Foreign Direct Investment: global infrastructure, with a particular focus on ports.

The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) has announced that the session will be the second of five panels set to take place at the three-day Forum, held at midday on February 9th at the Jawaher Convention Centre.

The 2015 forum in Sharjah is the first year the event will be hosted in the GCC region. Previous host cities include many of the world’s leading investment centres, such as Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Valencia, Bologna, Vilnius, Tallinn, Shanghai and Philadelphia.
