ADFW 2025 Event Overview
As global capital flows increasingly recognise environmental, social and governance (ESG) imperatives, the upcoming edition of Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025 (ADFW 2025) emerges as a pivotal platform for both capital markets and sustainability dialogues. Taking place from 8 – 11 December 2025 under the patronage of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and hosted by Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the event signals Abu Dhabi’s ascendancy as a two-way capital hub and a centre for ESG-aligned finance.
Why ADFW 2025 Matters?
1. Sustainability is central to capital flows
The agenda for ADFW 2025 – themed “Engineering the Capital Network” – emphasises how new technology (AI, quantum computing) and shifting capital flows intersect with sustainability. As global investors increasingly embed ESG criteria into strategy, events that spotlight green transition, social impact, and governance frameworks become essential for forward-looking stakeholders.
2. A meeting-place for regulators, institutions & innovators
Within ADFW 2025’s broader framework lies the Abu Dhabi Sustainable Finance Forum (ADSFF) on 11 December — described as the forum “where capital meets climate ambition”.
3. Regional leadership & global connectivity
With more than 300 global leaders representing over USD 60 trillion in assets expected at ADFW 2025, the ESG content is not merely a side-agenda but corner-stone to the region’s positioning as a future-oriented finance hub.
