Abu Dhabi has introduced the “FIDA” initiative, focusing on financial technology, insurance, digital assets, and alternative investments, aimed at accelerating the development of next-generation financial and investment solutions, further establishing the emirate as a global capital hub.
Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Department of Economic Development in Abu Dhabi, stated, “Abu Dhabi’s economic strategy is built on long-term planning and the necessity for capital, talent, and innovation to flow through a world-class infrastructure. The FIDA initiative is a structural investment for the future.
It involves coordinating efforts among regulators, sovereign capital, financial institutions, and innovators.”
Badr Al Olama, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, remarked that FIDA marks a significant evolution in Abu Dhabi’s role within global finance.
The emirate possesses an international financial center where innovation and digital transformation in financial technology meet long-term capital and future regulatory frameworks from the outset.
By uniting sovereign investors, regulators, global institutions, and technology innovators within a single initiative, Abu Dhabi becomes the preferred destination for those shaping the future of digital assets.
