Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) 2026 is set to increase its global reach through expanded programming, new summits, and strategic alliances.

The fifth edition of ADFW, scheduled for December 7-10, 2026, aims to be the most ambitious to date. More than 300 international financial leaders, representing over $61 trillion in assets under management, have confirmed their participation, positioning the event to potentially surpass last year's record of $62 trillion.

Under the theme "The Capital Community, Driven by Partnerships," ADFW 2026 will broaden its scope from 60 events across six stages in 2025 to 75 events spread across eight stages. The program will introduce 10 new events and platforms focusing on sectors including real estate, hedge funds, healthcare financing, and tokenization.

ADFW is also strengthening its international ties with new strategic collaborations with entities such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Union, the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF), AIMA, Atlantic Council, CNBC, and Semafor. The event will feature dedicated forums for China, South Korea, the EU, and the US to foster cross-border investment and business alliances.

Organized by ADGM, Abu Dhabi's international financial center, the event aims to create lasting relationships and drive investment opportunities within the global financial community.
