ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) will bring together leading thinkers, investors and policy leaders in the UAE capital from December 8 to 11.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Executive Council, ADFW 2025 will convene 300 international leaders from firms representing more than $60 trillion in assets at the region’s largest financial gathering.
The strong lineup of speakers reaffirms ADFW’s status as one of the world’s top financial events and a magnet for global financial leaders.
This year’s strategic theme, ‘Engineering the Capital Network’, reflects how emerging technologies—particularly AI and quantum computing—are reshaping modern finance. It also highlights the shifting dynamics of global capital flows, with Abu Dhabi positioned at the centre of this evolving financial landscape.
Across four days, delegates will participate in flagship events including the Abu Dhabi Economic Forum (ADEF), Asset Abu Dhabi, Fintech Abu Dhabi, RESOLVE, and the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum (ADSFF).
Attendees will also have access to sessions at major parallel forums such as the Global Financial Regulators Summit, the Greenwich Economic Forum, the UBS Investor Forum, the International Financial Office Congress, Blockchain Abu Dhabi, the Risk 4.0 Forum, the DLT Foundation Forum, and the Islamic Finance Summit.
This year’s edition will additionally introduce several new forums, including ADFW’s inaugural energy summit, New Energy Finance (held in association with CNBC International); Google’s Finance & Technology Summit (GtFT); the Private Credit Summit in partnership with AIMA; the Infrastructure Summit organised with Mubadala; the Treasury & CFO Summit; the GCFC Roundtable; and a Private Wealth Roundtable.
