Imagine a world where finding the right investor takes hours instead of weeks, and doing the paperwork to start a new investment takes days instead of months. That world is arriving fast, thanks to artificial intelligence.

Governments are using AI to connect with investors who can bring jobs and growth to their countries, and to cut red tape so projects get off the ground faster. Investors now have AI assistants that work through government services on their behalf. And small, everyday businesses are getting a helping hand to grow, attract funding and create new jobs.

Come and see real examples of how countries are putting AI to work to attract investment, and how UNCTAD is helping them do it.
