Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2026 to Focus on Partnerships

Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) returns for its fifth edition from December 7-10, 2026, 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. The event's theme this year is 'The Capital Community, Powered by Partnerships'.

ADFW, the region's largest finance event, will convene investors, financial institutions, policymakers, and business leaders to shape the future of finance, capital allocation, and economic growth. Hosted by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the UAE capital's international financial centre, the event aims to further solidify Abu Dhabi's standing as a global financial hub.

The event returns to Al Maryah Island with an expanded venue to accommodate growing demand following last year's success. The enlarged facility is designed for a record number of delegates, offering new areas for enhanced networking, collaboration, and business opportunities.

Over four days, ADFW is set to host more than 70 events, expecting over 35,000 participants and 800 speakers. The previous edition featured finance leaders managing over $62 trillion in assets, representing more than half of global GDP.

ADFW 2026 will explore how the collective power of global financial institutions, government investors, policymakers, and innovators is shaping the future of capital allocation. Discussions will cover topics including tokenization, private markets, artificial intelligence (AI), trade and energy, real estate, and infrastructure.
