5/6/25, 5:16 PM Abu Dhabi Delegation to Japan to Boost Economic Ties
Since it began in 2011, the Abu Dhabi Japan Economic Council (ADJEC) has helped both
countries work together in many industries. Japanese companies in Abu Dhabi, through
JCCME (Japan Cooperation Center for the Middle East), have invested a total of AED
106 billion in sectors like oil and gas, construction, retail, consulting, education, and
machinery.

On May 9, 2025, the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum (ADIF) will be held in Tokyo for the
first time. This event is organized by ADIO and ADGM, and will welcome CEOs,
investors, and top businesspeople to discuss partnerships and business opportunities with
Abu Dhabi. The focus will be on Abu Dhabi’s most exciting industries, such as:

Smart and self-driving vehicles (SAVI)

Agriculture, food, and water security (AGWA)

Health, endurance, longevity, and medicine (HELM)

On May 8, 2025, the Abu Dhabi-Japan Business Connect forum will take place. It is
hosted by ADCCI, in partnership with ADIO and ADGM. This forum will bring together
business and government leaders from both sides to explore new ways of working
together and creating international partnerships.

In short, this trip is a major step forward in making the relationship between Abu Dhabi
and Japan even stronger — by opening new trade, technology, and investment
opportunities that will benefit both countries.
