services
In an international, fast-growing business environment, associations and non-profit organisations can play important roles for skills and best practices, sector development, trade and business promotion, and professional development and training. They may also support and enhance broader societal interests like wellbeing, health, sports, culture and arts.
Recognising the importance of associations, ADGM has developed a supportive platform, allowing associations to register and obtain a separate legal identity, using a purpose-built vehicle for non-profit activities. With this platform, you can conduct your business activities lawfully, enter into agreements, employ people and operate commercially and professionally in a flourishing business community.
ADGM welcomes and supports a range of associations, including:
- Industry associations
- Professional associations and professional membership organisations
- Business councils and business groups
- Organisations of other developmental, national or strategic value
Entities that are either required or that want to have a physical presence, will find a wide range of Grade A office space on Al Maryah Island to choose from. The ADGM team will advise regarding office requirements on a case by case basis.
