ADGM ACADEMY RESEARCH CENTRE CONFERENCE
12 July 2023 | ADGM Auditorium, 4th Floor
The next Research Series Conference, focusing on the Sustainability Challenge, serves as a platform for experts and practitioners from the UAE financial sector and the academic community to discuss the crucial topic of sustainability in the UAE.
A key highlight of the conference is the inaugural UAE Student Challenge, where five university student teams will present their innovative ideas on sustainability and finance. These bright minds represent the next generation of leaders and business professionals, offering fresh perspectives and unique solutions to the sustainability challenges we face today. We are proud to partner with the Swift Institute and to have Mubadala as the sponsor of the UAE Student Challenge.
In addition to the inspiring student presentations, we will host a panel discussion featuring esteemed experts from the UAE financial sector. Together, they will explore how the financial sector can actively support the UAE’s transition to a net-zero economy. This valuable discussion will contribute to our collective understanding of the role finance plays in achieving sustainable goals.
