Abu Dhabi Positions AI as a Major Financial Growth Opportunity

The UAE is stepping up investment in artificial intelligence for financial services, with Abu Dhabi preparing to host AI Everything Abu Dhabi 2026 from October 6–7.

The UAE Ministry of Investment will join global investors, financial institutions and fintech companies to explore AI’s role in capital allocation, investment decisions and banking.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is investing more than AED 400 million through 2029 to expand AI capabilities, digital infrastructure and regulatory systems. ADGM’s asset-management ecosystem has also grown to 190 fund and asset managers overseeing 276 funds.

Why it matters: The UAE is moving beyond AI adoption toward building a financial ecosystem where AI, fintech, investment and regulation work together.
