This event will convene the world’s most distinguished leaders, market experts and entrepreneurs from over 100 countries to explore the facets and power of financial, human and technological capital as a competitive propellor for economic growth.

Over the years, Abu Dhabi has solidified its position as a regional and international business hub, supporting the United Arab Emirates' thriving Falcon Economy.
