About Abu Dhabi Global Market

The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is part of the world's most influential international financial centers, located across Al Maryah Island and Al Reem Island, comprising an area of over 14.38 million square meters.

Since its official opening in October 2015, ADGM has played a fundamental role in positioning Abu Dhabi as a global hub for finance, investment, and innovation.

A Progressive Regulatory Framework

A central pillar to ADGM's success is the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), which was established to create a progressive financial services environment while ensuring the highest ethical standards of integrity were maintained.

The FSRA's regulatory framework is based on internationally recognized best practices, ensuring that financial institutions operate in a transparent, stable, and predictable environment.

The FSRA's acceptance of rules based on international standards creates a level playing field in which market participants operate freely and fairly, while ensuring that investors' interests are protected.

The FSRA's open and transparent regulatory framework has led to global recognition, making ADGM a trusted destination for regional and international businesses.

More than a Regulated Financial Marketplace

With its enormous infrastructure, it welcomes a broad range of businesses, including:

• financial institutions and investment firms

• asset management firms and private equity funds

• fintech innovators and startups

• corporates and professional services firms

The centre provides an integrated business solution that encompasses company registration and incorporation, regulatory advice, dispute resolution services, and access to a robust network of like-minded professionals.

The full range of services available creates a one-stop shop for businesses looking to establish or expand their operations in the Middle East and beyond.

Innovation as a Pillar

ADGM is recognised as an innovator in the vertical by enabling collaboration between financial institutions, startups, regulators, and ultimately investors.
