Abu Dhabi Emerges as Regional Financial Powerhouse
Abu Dhabi Global Market has recorded a substantial leap in its development as a financial hub, marking a more than 30 per cent increase in registered firms last year and a remarkable 245 per cent surge in assets under management. Such gains stem from the emirate's strategic mobilisation of its nearly US $2 trillion in sovereign wealth, aimed at diversifying its economy beyond its dominant oil sector. This year's first quarter performance continued its strong momentum. ADGM issued 67 per cent more new operating licences, lifting its total to over 2,380 active firms. Global financial giants including BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and PGIM now operate from its jurisdiction, while hedge fund Marshall Wace has also established a presence. These entrants reflect a growing appetite from asset managers and institutions from Asia, particularly Japan, India, and China. Abu Dhabi's sovereign funds, notably Mubadala and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, continue to deploy capital into future-facing industries. Mubadala's assets rose by 9 per cent to AED 1.2 trillion in 2024, with heavy investment in technology, manufacturing, AI and advanced manufacturing driving growth. Its subsidiary, MGX, recently committed US $2 billion in cryptocurrency-related investments. ADVERTISEMENT Concurrently, Fortress Investment Group established a dedicated office in Abu Dhabi, appointing Charles Spetka to lead its regional operations. The move, part of a US $1 billion co-investment arrangement with Mubadala, highlights the emirate's expanding appeal not only in asset management but also in private credit and real estate. ADGM emphasises technological innovation within its development strategy. It remains one of the few jurisdictions globally to apply English common law directly and has implemented a robust digital framework. Most recently, ADGM launched a mobile application facilitating regulatory updates, licence renewals, compliance services and an electronic real estate transaction platform—claiming to be the first of its kind in the region. Blockchain initiatives have also been bolstered, with players like Stacks Asia and Bitgrit entering its distributed ledger ecosystem. In parallel, the emirate is positioning itself as a regional AI and data services centre. Abu Dhabi's G42, a state-linked tech firm, is spearheading the Stargate UAE initiative: a globally significant AI campus due to launch in 2026, hosting some of Nvidia's most advanced chips and planned in collaboration with US tech firms such as OpenAI, Cisco and Oracle. Despite some US regulatory hesitancy over technology transfers, Abu Dhabi remains determined to finalise the project. The Gulf region as a whole is embracing artificial intelligence as a tool to reshape its economic trajectory. Saudi Arabia and the UAE anticipate an AI-driven contribution of up to US $150 billion to their economies, deploying extensive investment in infrastructure and talent. However, both countries face challenges including regulatory frameworks, education systems, and ensuring data governance standards. Despite ADGM trailing behind Dubai International Financial Centre in absolute scale, its growth trajectory is notable. DIFC saw a 55 per cent jump in 2024 operating profit, even as Abu Dhabi recorded 32 per cent growth in firm registrations. Abu Dhabi's strategic focus on regulation, legal clarity, and sovereign-backed projects seem to be delivering results. The UAE non-oil sector's expansion remains robust, though momentum softened slightly in May, with PMI moderating to 53.3—its weakest level since September 2021. Rising demand nonetheless sustains a positive trajectory for ADGM's operations and Abu Dhabi's broader economic reform agenda. Collectively, these developments indicate a deliberate, well-funded shift by Abu Dhabi from purely petrochemical wealth to financial services and technology leadership. The interplay between sovereign wealth deployment, modern legal frameworks, digital innovation and ambitious projects like Stargate suggest Abu Dhabi is positioning itself as a serious global competitor for capital, tech investment and talent.

Yango Tech to let businesses boost their products in AI chatbots with GenAI Platform
Yango Tech, the unified ecosystem delivering tailored advanced B2B technology solutions to local businesses within Yango Group, has announced the upcoming launch of its GenAI Platform —a first-of-its-kind system in the MENA region designed to help retailers and brands gain top visibility and engage with customers across AI chatbots such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. The GenAI Platform will allow retailers to list and promote their products directly within AI-powered chat interfaces, turning everyday conversations into high-intent shopping experiences. For example, when customers search for queries like 'Best sneakers under $200' or 'Where to buy new hairstyler', retailers using the GenAI Platform can appear as the top result, providing real-time pricing and availability. Initial rollouts of the GenAI Platform are set to begin with select retailers in the MENA region by the end of 2025. One of the key benefits for retailers is improved discoverability. Rather than depending exclusively on web or app traffic, businesses can now be featured prominently within AI chat results, aligning their offerings with high-intent product searches and increasing the likelihood of conversion. For example, a regional e-grocery retailer using Yango Tech's GenAI Platform can ensure their freshest produce is highlighted first when a customer queries meal planning options on Perplexity. Max Avtukhov, Chief Executive of Yango Tech Retail, said: 'With AI-driven neuro platforms becoming a dominant new channel for everyday search, Yango Tech's GenAI Platform marks a bold step forward. Today's consumers are turning to AI chat tools for everything from travel advice to tailored product suggestions, ushering in a new era of seamless personalized shopping experiences. It's a massive shift—from desktop to mobile browser search, and now to intelligent conversational platforms. We understand what it takes to win in this space first. This shift is an entirely new commerce environment, and with our GenAI Platform, we will give retailers the infrastructure they need to not only show up but to win in this space first.' At the core of the platform is Yango Tech's MCP Router, a system that acts as a central translator and traffic manager. It collects product-related queries from different AI platforms, routes them to the merchant's content systems (known as MCPs), and delivers ranked results back to the user in real-time. The result is a new channel for conversational commerce, where customer engagement meets immediate transaction potential. The launch of the platform comes at a time of massive regional momentum. AI is projected to contribute up to $150 billion to GCC economies and the conversational AI market is projected to exhibit a growth rate of 23.6% by 2033 in the region, while MENA's retail sector is expected to grow to $1.4 trillion by 2032 . The GenAI Platform also ensures multi-interface support, allowing brands to scale effortlessly across millions of daily interactions while maintaining low response times and consistent messaging. This scalability is essential as 40% of the time, 80% of users rely on AI when searching online. Following the MENA rollout, Yango Tech plans to expand the GenAI Platform to Latin America and other markets throughout 2026, supporting global retailers in capturing attention and revenue across the AI frontier.
