The Ras Al Khaimah Investment and Business Summit, known as RAKIS, holds its third edition at the RAK Exhibition Center on 11 and 12 November 2026. The summit is the emirate's principal platform for presenting investment opportunities to regional and international capital, and it draws on the ecosystem around Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone and the emirate's government development bodies.
The programme covers the sectors in which Ras Al Khaimah is seeking investment: real estate and hospitality, where a large pipeline of resort and residential projects is under way on the emirate's coast; energy and industrial manufacturing; logistics tied to the Saqr Port and free zone complex; and tourism. Sovereign funds, private equity and family offices are among the investor categories the organiser lists in its visitor profile.
Ras Al Khaimah has attracted attention as a destination for hospitality and gaming linked development and for manufacturing tenants seeking lower cost operating bases in the UAE. The summit serves as a coordinated moment for the emirate's public and private sector to present that proposition to investors in one place.
For executives and boards weighing exposure to the Northern Emirates, RAKIS offers direct access to the government entities, master developers and free zone authorities that shape the emirate's investment environment. Real estate developers, hotel operators, industrial manufacturers and their financiers will find the summit a useful complement to the larger Dubai and Abu Dhabi investment events, and a place to gauge how much of the announced pipeline is moving to execution.
