The format of this year forum had been redesigned and the event rebranded to be named the Abu Dhabi International Business Forum in recognition of the global environment in which we operate and the international presence of so many Business Groups from different countries around the world. The revised format of the forum featured keynote speakers by industry experts followed by questions and answers sessions and was designed to be relevant, to address those business matters that are of prime importance and allow stakeholders in Abu Dhabi – whether they be government, public or private sector – to listen and participate in a constructive debate.

The one-day forum boasted impressive policy-makers and attracted hundreds of companies’ executives and entrepreneurs from around the UAE.

Topics such as the Central bank and finance, Infrastructure and the development of free zones for businesses, The Abu Dhabi economic vision and recent developments, urban planning and sustainability, tourism and culture, commercial banks and project finance were discussed. The forum provided an important platform for attendees to address challenges, exchange views on viable options and explore new business opportunities.

The forum was anchored by an evening gala dinner in honor of the guests and featured multilingual entertainment by renowned acts that came especially from Lebanon to perform in the event. A commercial promoting Lebanon Tourism produced by the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism was played during the dinner.
