In its relatively short lifespan, Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) has already positioned itself as a credible thought leadership platform that allows stakeholders to debate, discuss and inform people about the likely causes and outcomes of key market events and developments. This year, ADFW will feature over 50 events at ADGM between December 9 and 12 and is expected to draw 18,000 participants. The 2024 edition will center around the theme of ‘Welcome to the Capital of Capital’ and underscore the UAE capital’s strength and value proposition, highlighting its status as the region’s prominent financial hub and destination of choice for top international financial institutions.

On the first day of ADFW 2024, our MD and GCEO, H.E. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, delivered the opening address at the Abu Dhabi Economic Forum. He emphasized the Emirate's dual role as both an importer and exporter of capital and its growing influence as a dynamic hub for business and investment. Our GCIO, Dr. Jaap Kalkman, joined a fireside chat with Chris Hughes, Editor-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Finance Week, to discuss how growth markets are now emerging as both providers and recipients of global capital flows, a position once held by advanced economies.   As Headline Partner for the 2024 and 2025 editions, ADQ is committed to supporting Abu Dhabi Finance Week as a convening platform for meaningful conversations that will shape the future of investment. #ADQ #AbuDhabi #InvestingInGrowth #Finance #GlobalEconomy

We are pleased to share insights from a recent roundtable held in Abu Dhabi, titled "Navigating Tomorrow: Unlocking Treasury Potential." In partnership with ADGM and Zanders. This event brought together industry leaders to discuss the evolving landscape of treasury management and its implications for tomorrow's financial strategies.    Davy Buffel, a key participant, provided valuable feedback on his experiences throughout the day. He emphasized the importance of closed roundtable discussions, noting the unique opportunities for meaningful dialogue with a select audience, which can lead to actionable insights and collaborative solutions. A particularly noteworthy topic during the discussions was the role of artificial intelligence as a treasury tool. Davy highlighted the growing importance of incorporating AI into treasury operations and reflecting on his personal development journey, identifying areas within his skill set that he aims to enhance in light of emerging trends.    We invite you to listen to his candid conversation with Bhairav Mehta from the Middle East, where they delve into these topics and share profound insights that are sure to resonate across the treasury community.

The future of AI has not been scripted yet On the second day of Abu Dhabi Financial Week (ADFW 24) I had the honor to take the stage a second time, to address 'The Future of AI'. Speaking immediately after HE Carme Artigas was a tough act to follow, but our session allowed to underline some of the key issues to address in order to leverage the full potential of AI. Those include governance, explainability, and impact. Gearing AI to the need to accelerate the fulfilment of SDGs, and ensuring that AI plays a positive role in reducing inequalities will be vital to ensure global support (and enthusiasm) for AI. #sdgs #aiforgood #futureofai #futurereadiness ADGM @chrishughes Anna Henry Anne Miroux @carmeartigas Karim Michel Sabbagh @howeidanahim Dr. Hessa Al-Jaber Descartes Institute For the Future (DIFF)
