AIM Summit brings key policymakers and family offices together

The summit is set to take place on 21-22 October at Jumeirah Emirates Towers

AIM Summit, the leading alternative investment summit, has announced a line-up of speakers featuring the world’s leading voices on the subjects of investment developments, global market conditions and latest trends. In another sign of the growing influence of Dubai and the UAE on the global financial stage, leading policymakers, financiers and technology executives are set to gather on 21-22 October at Jumeirah Emirates Towers.

Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri – UAE’s Minister of Economy and Chairman of multiple key UAE institutions – will deliver a keynote address. Besides his senior government position, Minister Al Marri is also the Chairman of the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI), the UAE International Investors Council, the CSR UAE Fund’s Board of Trustees, and the Head of the Circular Economy Policy Committee within the UAE Circular Economy Council. He also chairs several government committees including the Supreme Committee for Consumer Protection, the National Civil Aviation Security and Facilitation Committee, the Economic Integration Committee, and the Emirates Tourism Council.

Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the UK, will also be a keynote speaker. In addition to serving as Prime Minister, Johnson held roles as Leader of the Conservative Party, Foreign Secretary of the UK, and Mayor of London. His first major achievement in Downing Street was delivering Brexit—the UK's exit from the European Union. Under his leadership, his government broke the political and parliamentary deadlock that had stalled the process since the 2016 referendum, ultimately restoring sovereign control over the UK's borders, economy, and lawmaking, and fulfilling the will of the British people.

Angel Versetti, founder and CIO of Versetti Family Office, will be delivering a talk on the subject of AI. Versetti is also the founder of DOGE.ORG, the community behind Dogecoin, and has previously launched PrivateAI and GintonicAI. As an early supporter of Ethereum, he co-founded Ambrosus alongside Gavin Wood, Ethereum's co-founder and CTO. Versetti Family Office's funds focus on investments in AI, Web3, and Longevity, with a specialization in turning around cryptocurrencies. They are currently focused on Syscoin, NumerAI, BAT (Brave), and UMA, having previously worked on the turnaround of Dogecoin.

Before embarking on his entrepreneurial journey, Versetti served as a project lead and researcher at the United Nations, contributing to programs such as the UNIDIR Weapons of Mass Destruction Program, the UNESCAP Trade and Investment Division, and UNEP Investments in Sustainable Technologies.

Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, founder and CEO of KBW Ventures and a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family is another speaker. As a figure of business, technology enthusiast, and investor, Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud is a firm proponent of clean energy, healthy living, the humane treatment of animals, and a motivated voice for entrepreneurship. A member of the Saudi Arabian royal family, Prince Khaled was born in California and spent his youth in Riyadh under the mentorship of his father, philanthropist Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, chairman and founder of Kingdom Holding Company. Today, with holdings on three continents, Prince Khaled stands at the gateway between the Middle East’s evolving economies and the Western world. As a venture capitalist who views nascent and emerging technologies as the path to alleviating many of today’s pressing global issues, Prince Khaled’s sector agnostic investments in technology span several different disciplines including fintech, AgTech, food tech, B2B SaaS, aviation and transportation technologies, energy technology, biotechnology, entertainment and broadcast technologies and more.

The AIM Summit promises to be a pivotal event, featuring a wide range of experts who will engage in dynamic discussions on the future of global economics and technology. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the strategies and innovations shaping the world’s most critical sectors.
