Abu Dhabi Financial Week 2026 to Strengthen Abu Dhabi's Position as 'Capital of Capital'
The fifth edition of the Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW), scheduled for December 7–10, 2026 and hosted under the patronage of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will take place on expanded premises at Al Maryah Island. The event aims to reinforce Abu Dhabi’s status as a global financial hub by fostering collaboration among international institutions, sovereign partners, and innovators. ADFW 2026 is expected to attract over 35,000 participants from around the world with more than 70 thematic sessions planned across four days. The previous edition in 2025 brought together financial leaders managing collectively $62 trillion—more than half of global GDP—and highlighted Abu Dhabi’s growing influence as a center for long-term investment and innovation. The event will focus on topics such as tokenization, private markets, AI, energy transition, real estate, infrastructure, trade, and how capital can be mobilized to drive sustainable growth. Organized by ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, ADFW 2026 aims to strengthen global alliances shaping finance’s future.
