project for obtaining the "LEED" Platinum certificate as the first major residential

sustainability.

The session, "Protecting Investments in Precious Metals: Potential Risks",

discussed the importance of protecting investments in precious metals, given their

vital role in promoting economic growth, and how to benefit from mutual

experiences to develop strategies and action plans that support the protection of

investments in precious metals. Hamad Abdullah Al Hammadi, Deputy Group CEO

at ADQ, and Philip Clegg, Managing Partner of Orion Abu Dhabi attended the

session.

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 national industries, such as Emirates Steel and Emirates Global Aluminium, and

supports financial and investment partnerships in emerging markets. We are

working to develop an integrated system that ensures the sustainability of strategic

resources and enhances the competitiveness of the national economy in vital

sectors, especially those related to the electrical transformation and future

industries."

The first day of Investopia 2025 included 11 roundtable meetings attended by a

large group of ministers and prominent government officials at the regional and

international levels, as well as representatives of global companies and major

investment funds operating in the fields of the new economy, technology, clean

banking services, and digital health.
