Built Around Abu Dhabi Finance Week
In December 2026 the global capital community gathers in Abu Dhabi for Abu Dhabi Finance Week, hosted by ADGM: 75 events across 8 stages under the theme The Capital Community, Powered by Partnerships, according to ADGM. The Abu Dhabi Finance Week Executive Trade Mission is built around that week. Delegates take part in Abu Dhabi Finance Week with access passes arranged for every delegate, and the mission adds its own program: the Hedge Fund Association Reception, the Gateway Leaders' Dinner at the Royal Rose, curated one on one meetings aligned to each delegate's objectives, and coordinated access to the side events held that week.
The delegation is curated, with decision makers only. Every delegate is vetted for relevance and seniority, and completes a strategy session with our team before arrival so the introductions and meetings built into the week are aligned to their objectives.
One week. One city. The world of capital, and the room you came for.
