The Future of Real Estate: A Catalyst for Global Growth

and Investment

In the session “From Real Estate to Globalization,” Sara Chow, CEO of the National CSR Fund “Majra,” and

Hussain Sajwani, CEO of DAMAC Properties, discussed the future of the UAE real estate market and the
impact of economic developments on the sector.

The discussion touched on balanced urban expansion, the move toward sustainable projects, and the role of
smart technology in enhancing the real estate sector.

Hussain Sajwani emphasized the importance of sustainability, noting that it is not exclusive to the business

community and that environmental care is a collective responsibility requiring the joint efforts of everyone—
from the smallest family member upward.

In this context, Sajwani praised DAMAC Lagoons for earning the platinum “LEED” certification, marking it
as the first major residential community in the UAE to receive this prestigious environmental sustainability

award.

Safeguarding Investments in Precious Metals

The session “Safeguarding Investments in Precious Metals: Potential Risks” explored the critical importance

of protecting investments in precious metals due to their vital role in bolstering economic growth.

The discussion examined how shared expertise can help develop strategies and action plans that support the

protection of investments in this sector.

The session was attended by Hamad Abdullah Al Hammadi, Deputy CEO of ADQ, and Philip Klig, Managing
Partner at Orion Abu Dhabi.

Hamad Al Hammadi explained, “The mining sector is one of the strategic pillars for securing global supply
chains, especially given the challenges associated with the concentration of key metal production in a limited

number of countries.

In this context, ADQ’s investment of $1.2 billion in partnership with Orion Abu Dhabi reinforces our role in
securing vital raw materials for national industries, such as Emirates Steel and Emirates Global Aluminium, as

well as supporting financial and investment partnerships in emerging markets.
