We warmly invite you to a conference in Berlin focused on the topic: “The Rule of Law and the Future of Investment Protection.” Registration for the event is now open, and you can find the programme below.

On the eve of the Foreign Direct Investment Moot Court, which will bring many of the leading experts on investment protection to Berlin, the German Arbitration Institute (DIS), Humboldt University of Berlin, and the DIHK have joined forces to take a fresh look at some of the most pressing and controversial issues in foreign direct investment.

Unlock insights into the future of global investment protection!

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a crucial role in addressing many of today's pressing global issues. For instance, the transition to green energy hinges on private investments; without them, the shift would take significantly longer. Even the most economically promising investments require at least a minimum level of protection against undue interference from the host state or private actors to attract investors. The extent and nature of this protection have been the subject of intense debate in recent years, often linked to high-profile claims by investors. Both sides of these debates frequently invoke the rule of law to support their positions, driven by the specific interests at stake, often without considering the broader context.

Join us for a pivotal conference on the morning before the moot court begins, where distinguished scholars and practitioners will discuss the latest developments and critical issues in investment protection. Engage with experts from around the world as we explore the evolving landscape of investment protection and its implications for global economic stability.
