Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Organised by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED), ADFW 2023 will be held from 27th to 30th November, 2023, in Abu Dhabi.

On the sidelines of ADFW 2023, the Emirates Family Offices Association is organising the International Family Office Congress in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Chamber, where Abdulla Mohammed Al Mazrui, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, will deliver the opening speech. The congress will point to the vital role that family offices play in the industrial and financial sectors, highlighting Abu Dhabi’s position as the “financial hub” of the region.

The Abu Dhabi Chamber’s participation in ADFW 2023 aligns with the Chamber’s efforts to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s business community. Moreover, the Chamber’s participation aligns with its strategic direction toward building trade relations by supporting local and international events and initiatives connecting businesses. This is part of its efforts to provide more business opportunities to Abu Dhabi’s entrepreneurs and business professionals.

Commenting on the Chamber’s participation, Al Mazrui said, “We are proud to support the second edition of the ADFW, in line with our strategic directives to empower Abu Dhabi’s private sector and provide a competitive and advanced business ecosystem. ADFW has become one of the most prestigious international investment and financial events.

“Through our active participation in the International Family Office Congress, we are keen to emphasise our commitment to supporting Family Offices and businesses as a strategic partner in economic development.

“Through our participation, we also aim to strengthen the bonds of cooperation with our partners and the coordination between government agencies and Family Offices to ensure the provision of a legislative environment and flexible procedures that support them,“ he added.

Ahmed Khalifa Al Qubaisi, CEO of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, said, “Supporting the activities of the ADFW is vital considering its importance and direct impact on the national economy and the business sectors. This event has become a high-level platform that brings together leaders, stakeholders, and experts in the finance and investment sectors, providing an opportunity and a platform for constructive communication between organisations and government agencies, as well as attracting FDIs.”

“Through our participation in ADFW 2023, we fortify the Chamber’s efforts towards adopting the latest standards of innovation and digital transformation, gaining foresight, and exchanging visions and experiences with the most influential global experts in finance and business. This would contribute to our efforts in making Abu Dhabi the first regional choice for doing business and the preferred destination for entrepreneurs and businesspeople in the region,” he added.

In its second edition, ADFW 2023 will discuss the factors affecting capital flows, monetary systems, financial services and facilities, and the industrial and social sectors that affect the global financial system. The event also seeks to expand cooperation and opportunities and address challenges in this era of rapid change.
