On 8-9 October 2025, The Peninsula London hosted a distinguished Abu Dhabi business delegation, led by H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Member of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Department of Economic Development.
The two-day visit brought together senior representatives from Abu Dhabi’s most dynamic sectors – Energy Transition, Advanced Industries, Financial Services, Digital & Technology, Food & Water, Biotech & Life Sciences, and Trade & Logistics — to meet with leading UK business figures.
Organised in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Chamber, Abu Dhabi Investment Office, and Abu Dhabi Global Market, the event showcased the UAE’s commitment to global collaboration and innovation-driven growth. The “Chamber Connect” B2B networking sessions, supported by the Cambridgeshire Chamber of Commerce, provided a platform for productive discussions, exploring investment prospects, and building new business partnerships.
Speaking on the occasion, delegates emphasised the importance of bilateral cooperation between the UAE and UK to drive progress across key industries and accelerate sustainable economic development.
This successful exchange underscores both regions’ shared vision — fostering innovation, sustainability, and long-term prosperity through meaningful business connections.
