SUMMARY :

Abu Dhabi Global Market is home to businesses of all sizes – both local and international. Over 40 blue chip companies currently trade from the free zone. It is centred on three main sectors – Private Banking, Wealth Management and Asset Management. As most businesses that operate within the free zone are in financial-related industries, Abu Dhabi Global Market is governed by three independent authorities – the Registration Authority, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and ADGM Courts – all of which ensure that organisations within it operate in line with international best practices that are recognised by major financial centres across the world.

As well as being a financial free zone, the 114-hectare site of Abu Dhabi Global market is home to state of the art leisure, entertainment and hospitality facilities along with many residential developments. The free zone’s 5km promenade – overlooked by panoramic views of the Abu Dhabi Skyline – features Rosewood and Four Seasons hotels, luxury retail stores and an eclectic mix of restaurants form all over the world.

Situated on Al Maryah Island in the heart of Abu Dhabi, the free zone is well connected – just 15 minutes from Zayed Port, just off the busy E12 highway. Abu Dhabi International Airport is also just 30 minutes away.
