The Al Ain Future Business Forum will be held at ADNEC Centre Al Ain, Al Ain, from 23 to 24 September. The inaugural forum is organised by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) under the patronage of Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed.
Under the theme Invest, Develop, Thrive, the forum covers talent, research and development, agritech, advanced manufacturing, smart transport, renewables and tourism in the Al Ain Region. Partners include ADCB and Modon as strategic gateway partners, together with ADAFSA, KEZAD, Abu Dhabi Airports, ADIO, Hub71 and Talabat. ADDED's initial release on 19 August had given the dates as 28 to 29 September. Its later release on 17 September, announcing the programme and partners, fixes the forum at 23 to 24 September, and that later release supersedes the earlier one.
For executives, the forum is the first dedicated investment platform for the Al Ain Region, convening senior officials, investors and business leaders around the sectors the emirate wants to grow beyond the capital. Chief executives of agritech, manufacturing, transport and hospitality groups can meet the economic zone operators, airport authority and investment office responsible for incentives and land, while investors get an early read on the Al Ain project pipeline.
The dates and venue are confirmed by ADDED through the Abu Dhabi Media Office.
