Description
Abu Dhabi styles itself as a champion of innovation. The government, in lockstep with the private sector, is committed to fostering the development of new technologies across every sector of the economy with the eventual aim of diversifying away from a reliance on hydrocarbons. The journey to a truly knowledge-based economy is fraught with difficulty, yet there is much reason to be optimistic. Indeed, the non-oil economy was a major driver of UAE growth in 2022, when the economy expanded 7.6%. And with an eye on the future, the Emirate is keen that its growth be sustainable, green, and foster self-sufficiency.
It is against this backdrop that research for this 148-page publication was carried out. Featuring dozens of interviews from across every major sector of the economy, we are confident that this publication will be a vital handbook for anybody looking to do business in Abu Dhabi.
