3/4/25, 10:33 AM First day of Investopia 2025 outlines features of global investment in new economy
sustainable energy solutions, digital transformation strategies in vital sectors, and the importance of
global partnerships in enhancing innovation.

Mariam Al Muhairi said: “2Point Zero represents a pioneering model in supporting the new economy of
the UAE by adopting sustainable solutions that reduce carbon emissions and enhance the transition

towards a green economy. The company seeks to be listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange by
the end of the year, reflecting its ambition for growth and expansion. In this context, she stressed that the
successes achieved by the company and the future ambitions it seeks are due to the supportive
environment provided by the UAE, whether at the level of ambitious leadership or strong policies that

stimulate investment.”

She also stressed the importance of building partnerships to achieve the 2Point Zero vision, and stated:
“No one can walk alone.” The company’s investments include six main sectors, including finance and
digital technology, and its ambitious plans to develop huge data centers that require operational
capacities of up to 100 megawatts. She pointed out that Abu Dhabi is strengthening its position as a

global center for digital investment, as it includes the largest Bitcoin mining facility with a capacity of 250
megawatts.

Social Responsibility Fund “Majra,” interviewed Hussain Sajwani, CEO of Damac Properties, where the

During the session, Hussain Sajwani stressed the importance of sustainability, that it is not limited to the
business community, and that caring for the environment is a collective responsibility that requires the

combined efforts of all, starting with the smallest member of the family. In this context, Sajwani praised

Hamad Al Hammadi said: “The mining sector is one of the strategic pillars for supporting the security of

global supply chains, especially in light of the challenges associated with the concentration of production
of basic metals in a limited number of countries. From this standpoint, ADQ's $1.2 billion investment, in
partnership with Orion Abu Dhabi, enhances our role in securing supplies of vital raw materials for
