The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) has achieved a significant milestone in September, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to advancing business growth and positioning Abu Dhabi as a premier global destination for investment and commerce.
Demonstrating its proactive international engagement, the Chamber's leadership participated in high-level forums and strategic meetings in Germany, Japan, and China.

New Bridges in Germany
From September 15 to 18, the Chamber participated in a series of meetings in Germany aimed at strengthening partnerships between Emirati and German businesses, with a particular emphasis on family-owned enterprises and SMEs. Discussions also centred on knowledge exchange in industrial innovation and prospects for future project collaboration.
UAE-Japan Business Council
In the third week of September, the Chamber joined the second UAE-Japan Joint Business Council meeting in Tokyo. Organised by the Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the UAE Embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), the event drew over 40 organisations from both countries, spanning sectors involved in manufacturing, renewable energy, healthcare, trade, IT, and agriculture.
Sessions reviewed prospects of cooperation and investment opportunities under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and Japan.
The Chamber advocated for expanding collaboration into new areas, including the circular economy, construction, interior design, and entertainment, reflecting the UAE's economic diversity and openness to innovation. The growing role of Emirati women in business was also highlighted, as the UAE Businesswomen Council presented success stories in technology, energy, and health, underscoring the sector's support from national leadership.
Investopia Global: A Milestone
The Abu Chamber participated in Investopia Global, held in Hong Kong (SAR) and Beijing on September 17 and 19. These gatherings served as a key strategic platform, enhancing the global presence of the UAE business community and reinforcing Abu Dhabi's position as a vital international economic partner.
During the event, the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry formalised a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF) to advance research collaboration and foster ongoing business dialogue.
Shamis Ali Al Dhaheri, Second Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Chamber, affirmed that the Chamber's September activities in Germany, Japan, and China align with Abu Dhabi's ambitious vision to boost its global economic stature.
