It is a phenomenon that is being called 'slowbalization'. In this paper, we examine two trends that have emerged in the last few years that give a more nuanced view.

Through our partnership with Pyramids FC and collaboration with the Zayed Higher Organization, ADQ contributes to creating a sustainable positive impact in local communities. We implemented a comprehensive program of enjoyable activities, purposeful sports events and unforgettable experiences over the course of a week in the Republic of Egypt. The program involved several volunteers from ADQ and engaged children of determination from the Bridges of Hope centers, with the aim of promoting inclusion and community growth.

On the first day of @ADFinanceWeek 2024, our MD and GCEO, H.E. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, delivered the opening address at the Abu Dhabi Economic Forum. He emphasized the Emirate's dual role as both an importer and exporter of capital and its growing influence as a dynamic hub for business and investment. Our GCIO, Dr. Jaap Kalkman, joined a fireside chat with @MrChrisIre, Editor-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Finance Week, to discuss how growth markets are now emerging as both providers and recipients of global capital flows, a position once held by advanced economies.

As Headline Partner for the 2024 and 2025 editions, ADQ is committed to supporting Abu Dhabi Finance Week as a convening platform for meaningful conversations that will shape the future of investment.
