Under the esteemed patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, the third edition of Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) was unveiled on Friday, promising an impressive lineup of 50 events and sub-events. Set to take place from December 9 to 12, 2024, this flagship financial event for the MEASA region, hosted by ADGM, will embrace the theme ‘Welcome to the Capital of Capital.’ It aims to explore the diverse elements that solidify Abu Dhabi's status as a financial hub, focusing on its financial, human, cultural, environmental, and technological dimensions. Building on the success of last year’s edition, which attracted over 3,300 top-tier executives—including Chairmen, CEOs, and Managing Directors—from leading global financial institutions, ADFW is poised to elevate its offerings. The previous event featured engaging discussions centered around the theme ‘Investing in the Transition Era,’ highlighting Abu Dhabi's burgeoning opportunities. Attendees represented firms managing an astounding US$30 trillion in assets—an impressive 22 percent of the global economy. With a dynamic agenda ahead, ADFW is set to delve into trending global topics within the financial sector over four days. The event will commence with an opening ceremony on December 9, 2024, featuring an exclusive guest list of the world's foremost financial and economic leaders. This pivotal gathering will establish the tone for the week, paving the way for crucial conversations to unfold. Following the opening ceremony, ADFW will welcome back one of its standout events from last year—the Abu Dhabi Economic Forum. This forum will assess the strategies, policies, and investments shaping the future of Abu Dhabi’s Falcon Economy, bringing together senior leaders from both the local government and international financial institutions that are vital to Abu Dhabi's economic growth and influence in global markets. Additional events on that day will include the ADEF Private Leadership Forum, Abu Dhabi Capital Markets Forum, and the prestigious ADGM Gala Dinner, further enriching the experience for participants.
