    The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED)  and other leading economic entities and institutions from the emirate have concluded a successful visit to London where they signed agreements and hosted a series of events to highlight business and investment opportunities across the emirate’s high-growth sectors.

    During the visit, the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI), ADGM, and Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in partnership with key Abu Dhabi entities, organised two forums that showcased the emirate’s business-friendly ecosystem and its ambitious plans to accelerate the transition to a smart, diversified, inclusive, and sustainable economy.

    His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADDED, said: “Our visit to London was part of our ongoing initiatives to build and strengthen relations with businesses and investments communities around the globe. The forums and meetings we had in the city highlighted the opportunities provided by our Falcon Economy to the business and investment community in the UK.

    “Guided by our approach to enhance free and fair exchange of goods, services, and ideas, we enable investors and businesses to explore new avenues to grow, expand, and enrich communities.”

     

    Organised by ADCCI, the Abu Dhabi–London Business Connect attracted over 200 senior officials and executives representing key entities, businesses, and investors, including 90 UK companies and institutions. The event showcased Abu Dhabi’s diverse investment opportunities and served to deepen economic and trade cooperation between the business communities in the emirate and the UK. More than 70 of Abu Dhabi’s private sector and family businesses joined the Abu Dhabi Chamber delegation to explore opportunities and build business relations in international markets.

    The Abu Dhabi Investment Forum (ADIF) in London brought together around 400 senior executives, institutional investors, officials, and media, including around 180 UK institutions.

    Hosted by ADIO, in collaboration with ADDED and ADGM, ADIF London 2025 highlighted Abu Dhabi’s appeal as a global economic hub, opportunities generated by its multi-dimensional strategies, and its leading role in international trade.

    His Excellency Hamad Sayah Al Mazrouei, Undersecretary of ADDED, and senior officials engaged in a series of meetings with key entities and institutions in London, including the Inspired Education Group, to nurture world-class human capital and further advance Abu Dhabi’s innovation ecosystem. They also met senior executives of TheCityUK, the organisation representing UK-based financial and related professional services, and from Asia House, the leading global think tank to foster meaningful dialogue between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. During these meetings, Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading financial hub and cooperation in trade, investment, and knowledge exchange, were discussed.

    Several agreements were signed during the visit to enhance cooperation in different sectors and areas including education, logistics and trade facilitation, family businesses, advanced manufacturing, and financial services.

    Abu Dhabi Customs signed agreements with Maersk Global Trade and Customs Consulting and Competere Group, a leading consultancy in economic policy and trade law, to promote innovation in trade facilitation, strengthen border management, enhance supply chain resilience, and boost the efficiency and competitiveness of Abu Dhabi’s trade and logistics sector.
