ADFW 2024
Building on the monumental success of previous Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) editions, this year’s ADFW is held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, and shines the spotlight on the theme ‘Welcome to the Capital of Capital’.
