emirates7 - The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and the Emirates Family Office Association (EFOA) have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at establishing Abu Dhabi as the top destination for global family offices and ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs).
This agreement marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration focused on attracting sustained private capital, strengthening the emirate’s wealth management infrastructure, and supporting its broader economic goals.
The partnership leverages ADIO’s mission to drive Abu Dhabi’s economic transformation and EFOA’s global family office networks, along with its experience in policy engagement, business development, and wealth preservation.
Together, the two organizations will promote Abu Dhabi’s competitive advantages as a hub for family offices, creating a more investor-centric ecosystem that facilitates the deployment and sustained presence of capital in the region.
A key focus of the agreement is to simplify the experience for incoming investors. ADIO will offer personalized support across areas such as market entry, licensing, integration into local life, and forming strategic alliances. Meanwhile, EFOA will identify and refer qualified investors, foster global connections, and co-investment opportunities in sectors aligned with Abu Dhabi’s long-term development plans.
Hareb Al Mheiri, Executive Director of the Investor Growth Sector at ADIO, stated, “This collaboration reinforces Abu Dhabi’s status as a stable, trustworthy, and forward-looking center for UHNWIs and international capital. By partnering with the Emirates Family Office Association, we are not only easing entry but also encouraging family offices to play a meaningful role in global economic transformation from Abu Dhabi.”
The agreement also includes a schedule of high-level investor delegations, exclusive forums, and targeted roadshows to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a key hub for generational wealth. These events will highlight the emirate’s unique appeal—ranging from economic resilience and progressive regulation to its gateway position to high-growth markets in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Adam Ladjadj, Founder and Vice Chairman of EFOA, remarked, “Modern family offices seek more than just favorable tax conditions—they’re looking for trustworthy environments where capital, talent, and innovation intersect. Abu Dhabi provides a rare blend of access, long-term vision, and stability. Our alliance with ADIO is designed to meet these expectations, keeping investor needs at the forefront.”
Additionally, ADIO and EFOA will work together on regulatory innovation and policy discussions to ensure Abu Dhabi remains responsive to the evolving priorities of global investors, further solidifying its position as a premier destination for wealth preservation and long-term growth.
