The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has established eight new offices in Tel Aviv, New York, San Francisco, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Beijing and Seoul.
The global network of offices, in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), expands ADIO’s reach in key overseas markets where it is looking to attract innovative businesses to establish and grow in the Emirates.
International startups and businesses will have access to the full range of support that ADIO provides, including its investor care services and incentives.
ADIO’s international expansion complements its new AED 2 billion (USD 545 million) Innovation Programme, which provides financial and non-financial incentives to businesses by facilitating a targeted approach to support investors from around the world.
Organised and established under the Abu Dhabi government’s Ghadan 21 accelerator programme, the new Innovation Programme has been created with the intention to create thousands of high-skilled jobs, catalyse innovation and impactful solutions in core sectors of Abu Dhabi’s ecosystem, as well as to increase opportunities for investors in the Emirates.
H.E. Mohammed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of ADDED and ADIO, said:

The representative offices will serve as a bridge between key international markets and the exciting opportunities in some of our economy’s highest potential areas, opening up new areas for cooperation between the domestic private sector and its international counterparts.”
