Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2026 to Focus on Strengthening Abu Dhabi's Status as 'Capital of Capitals'
The fifth edition of the Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) will take place from December 7-10, 2026 under the patronage of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Organized by ADGM, a financial free zone in Abu Dhabi, ADFW aims to reinforce the city's position as 'Capital of Capitals' and bring together global investors, institutions, policymakers, and business leaders. Building on record participation from 2025, this year’s event will feature an expanded venue at Al Maryah Island with enhanced networking opportunities. Over four days, more than 70 themed events are planned for over 35,000 participants and 800 global speakers. The previous edition attracted financial leaders managing $62 trillion in assets—more than half the world’s GDP. ADFW will explore topics such as tokenization, private markets, AI, energy, real estate, infrastructure, trade, and sustainable growth strategies for capital allocation.
