developments on the real estate sector were reviewed. Participants discussed balanced urban
expansion, the move towards sustainable projects, and the role of smart technology in
improving the real estate sector.

responsibility that requires the combined efforts of all, starting with the smallest member of
the family. In this context, Sajwani praised the Damac Lagoons project for obtaining the

Protecting Precious Metals Investments

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."
