An asset owner and a sustainable investor

Enabling Abu Dhabi’s economic transformation

This intent has been brought to life through the sustained diversification of the UAE’s economy.

Since inception, ADQ has served as a long-term investor that is accelerating the transformation of Abu Dhabi into a globally competitive economy.
