About PSF

Private sector development is one of the main pillars in the Islamic Development Bank Group (IsDB Group) priorities and, therefore, in conjunction with the IsDB Group Annual Meetings, the IsDB Group private sector entities have been organizing the Private Sector Forum (PSF) yearly to address and further this priority.

The main objective of the PSF is to provide a unique platform to network and establish business relations and partnerships with other leading representatives and stakeholders from the business community in order to share their related experiences, success stories & best practices while jointly exploring investment and trade opportunities offered by member countries. PSF will also highlight the IsDB Group activities, services, and initiatives in the 57 member countries (investment, trade, and insurance). Also, to present the IsDB Group’s role in promoting private sector investment and cross-border trade, in addition of promoting the IsDB Group’s services to the private sector interested to invest in its member countries. The Forum will also connect business communities in member countries by networking opportunities and parallel B2B and B2G meetings. It will also feature an awards ceremony reorganizing leaders in trade, insurance, and investment. PSF 2024 will also give an opportunity to its member countries to promote their projects to potential investors.

PSF 2024 will take place from the 28^th to the 30^th of April 2024 at the InterContinental Riyadh Hotel – Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The PSF Conference Venue can accommodate seating for approximately 350 participants with translation (English, Arabic & French), and all the side events will be live streamed on the official YouTube channels of IsDB Group.
