The fifth edition of the Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) is set for December 7–10, 2026, under the patronage of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The event will focus on strengthening Abu Dhabi's position as a global financial hub with its theme 'The Capital Community, Powered by Partnerships.' Hosted by ADGM and returning to Al Maryah Island, ADFW 2026 is expected to welcome over 35,000 participants and more than 800 speakers from around the world. The event will feature over 70 sessions across four days covering topics such as tokenization, private markets, AI, energy, real estate, and infrastructure. Abu Dhabi has emerged as a leading financial center in the region, ranking first locally and twelfth globally according to the NYU Stern Financial Centres Competitiveness Index. The event aims to foster collaboration among global institutions, state investors, policymakers, and innovators to shape future capital allocation strategies. ADFW 2026 will expand its venue to accommodate increased demand following record participation in 2025.
