This approach fosters knowledge exchange, strengthens investor connections, and shares best practices across industries, including automotive, construction, real estate, education, and healthcare.
By launching these seven working groups, ADCCI aims to create a flexible, innovative, and collaborative ecosystem that empowers businesses, drives economic diversification, and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a global business leader.
