The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) have formed a strategic partnership aimed at unlocking investment opportunities and accelerating economic growth in Abu Dhabi. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to promoting innovation and sustainable growth while reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a premier global business destination.
The strategic partnership was signed during the inaugural Abu Dhabi Business Week (ADBW), held 4-6 December under the 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, by H.E. Hareb Mubarak AlMheiri, Executive Director at ADIO and Mohammed Eissa Al Refaei, Executive Director of Business Networking at ADDCI, in the presence of His Excellency Badr Al-Olama, Director General of ADIO and H.E. Shamis Al Dhaheri, Second Vice Chairman, ADCCI.
Under the agreement, both entities will work to establish a framework to better engage family offices registered with the Chamber. As a result, family office principals will benefit from direct connections to ADIO’s extensive network of business and investment opportunities across the emirate, highlighting investment priorities and fostering greater participation in Abu Dhabi’s economic clusters.
ADIO and ADDCI will also collaborate to develop a cohesive strategy for engaging business councils. Through coordinated support, activities and outreach efforts, the two entities aim to amplify their collective impact and cultivate partnerships to enhance Abu Dhabi’s business ecosystem. By sharing key market data, insights, reports and referrals, both entities will provide businesses and investors with essential resources to navigate and seize opportunities in the emirate.
