IN-PERSON

# UAE Advisory Council
Overview
Geopolitical uncertainty, evolving global trade and investment patterns, technological disruption and increasingly complex financial markets are fundamentally reshaping the role of the CFO and Treasurer and the expectations placed on finance leadership. As organizations navigate a more interconnected and unpredictable global economy, the challenge is no longer simply to protect financial resilience, optimize performance and manage risk. It is to translate financial strength into strategic advantage, unlock new sources of value and position organizations for sustainable growth.
Aligned with Abu Dhabi Finance Week’s overarching theme, The Capital Community, Powered by Partnerships, this executive roundtable will explore how CFOs, Treasurers and senior finance leaders can evolve from traditional financial stewardship towards becoming architects of enterprise strategy, capital allocation and long-term value creation.
The discussion will examine how organizations are balancing financial resilience with investment ambition, navigating competing demands for capital and reassessing traditional approaches to risk, liquidity and growth. Participants will explore how stronger partnerships between corporates, financial institutions, sovereign investors, private capital providers and technology innovators can unlock opportunities, strengthen financial connectivity and support new models of international investment and collaboration.
Particular attention will be given to the transformation of the global financial ecosystem through artificial intelligence, digital assets, stablecoins, tokenisation and emerging payment infrastructures. As the boundaries between traditional finance and digital financial services continue to evolve, CFOs and Treasurers must assess how these developments could reshape corporate payments, cross-border transactions, liquidity management, access to capital and financial market connectivity. The conversation will consider the commercial opportunities alongside the regulatory, governance, operational and risk implications of adoption.
Beyond technology and financial infrastructure, the roundtable will challenge participants to rethink the future Office of the CFO: how Treasurers and finance leaders can influence business decisions earlier, connect financial insights with operational and commercial outcomes, strengthen enterprise-wide accountability and develop the capabilities required to lead in an increasingly complex environment.
Bringing together CFOs, Treasurers and senior finance executives and perspectives from across the corporate, banking, investment and technology ecosystems, this interactive discussion will move beyond conventional financial management to explore how the next generation of finance leaders can connect capital, innovation and strategic partnerships to create lasting enterprise value.
