Dubai prepares to welcome government leaders, investors and infrastructure specialists as the region accelerates private-sector participation in economic and social infrastructure development
Dubai, UAE: With just four days remaining until the 6th PPP MENA Forum 2026, attention is turning to Dubai as regional governments, investors and infrastructure specialists prepare to explore the next chapter of public-private partnerships (PPPs) across the Middle East and North Africa. Taking place on 10–11 November 2026 at Palazzo Versace Dubai, the Forum will bring together influential decisionmakers to examine how private capital, innovation and cross-sector collaboration can accelerate infrastructure development and support long-term economic growth.
As countries across the region pursue ambitious national development strategies, the role of public-private partnerships is becoming increasingly significant. From major transport and energy projects to healthcare, education, real estate and social infrastructure, governments are exploring new ways to engage private sector expertise, attract investment and deliver essential services more efficiently.
Against this evolving backdrop, the 6th PPP MENA Forum will provide a platform for stakeholders to move beyond policy discussions and focus on practical solutions, investment opportunities and successful partnership models capable of transforming regional infrastructure ambitions into tangible projects.
