Abu Dhabi Finance Week offers several days of professional conversation about financial markets, investment and business development. It brings together different meetings and thematic formats, allowing visitors to select the subjects most relevant to them. The week is particularly interesting for people working with capital, financial technology and international business relationships who want to hear how the industry sees the changes ahead.
The fifth edition runs 7–10 December 2026 on Al Maryah Island, in ADGM. Its theme is “The Capital Community, Powered by Partnerships”. Current announcements from host ADGM and Abu Dhabi’s government portal confirm the dates.
Finding your way through the programme
The programme has four thematic days: Abu Dhabi’s economy and global markets; asset management and private capital; AI, fintech and digital assets; and sustainable finance. New formats announced by the organiser include a real estate summit, a healthcare financing forum and discussions about energy investment. Choose an area related to your work, then build your schedule around it.
Leave time between talks to speak with colleagues and meet new people. If you want to discuss a particular project, arrange the meeting beforehand and prepare a short description of your objective.
Before travelling
Check which events your participation option covers and where each selected session takes place. The shared week name does not mean that one registration includes every format. Build your precise plan after checking the organiser’s latest schedule.
Allow gaps between presentations and business meetings. For a visit lasting several days, you could dedicate one day to your main subject and another to negotiations and new contacts. This helps you make more of the week than simply moving from session to session. Avoid an important meeting on arrival day if your own travel plan does not leave enough time.
Travel to the finance week
With Hola Taxi, you can discuss a journey from your Abu Dhabi hotel or a trip from Dubai to your chosen ADFW event and back. Include the date, starting address and passenger count, using the confirmed programme for the specific venue. If you arrive at DXB first, describe the hotel stop and later business trip separately.
