"Abu Dhabi through a Chinese Lens", discussing in depth Abu Dhabi's position in international cooperation, technology development, cross-border trade, emerging industries and recent investment trends, with the aim of deepening understanding, exchange and cooperation in these fields. In his opening address, Hua Yuan, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and Vice Mayor of Shanghai, described the strong growth of economic and trade cooperation between Shanghai and the UAE and the measures Shanghai has taken to attract and facilitate foreign investment, and warmly invited Abu Dhabi companies to take part in Shanghai's economic development. In his welcome address, H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), presented Abu Dhabi's foreign investment policies and its recent achievements in economic development and in building a livable environment. In recent years, Abu Dhabi has been rising quickly as
a global hub for industry and innovation, with notable results in
driving the energy transition, artificial intelligence and the development of emerging markets. Abu Dhabi's Industry 4.0, AI and high-tech sectors are becoming major draws for international investors, and the forum laid a firm foundation for further cooperation between the two sides in these areas.
