Picture this: 158,000 companies, all buzzing with ideas, trade deals, and ambitions, looking for a steady hand to guide them into a brighter, bolder future. Enter Ali Mohammad Al Marzooqi, newly appointed Director General of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI). Think of him as the Chamber’s new pilot—navigating a Falcon Economy that’s soaring higher than your morning coffee buzz.
Why This Appointment Matters (and Why You Should Care)
The Chamber isn’t just some polite networking club where people swap business cards and mini sandwiches. Nope—it’s the powerhouse that helps businesses of every shape and size grow, expand, and (hopefully) crush it on the global stage. Their new roadmap for 2025 to 2028? Designed by the private sector, for the private sector. Translation: this isn’t a “wish list”—it’s a “get-it-done” list.
His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Chamber, summed it up best: the roadmap is all about “building bridges” between businesses, governments, and global markets. And no, not literal bridges (although those are nice too). We’re talking about opportunities, access, and creating the kind of environment where even a small startup can feel like it’s punching above its weight.
The Falcon Economy—Yes, That’s a Thing
Abu Dhabi isn’t playing small ball here. It’s building what it proudly calls a “Falcon Economy.” Sounds epic, right? Imagine a strategy so future-proof that even your phone’s next update would feel outdated by comparison. It’s multi-dimensional, ambitious, and—let’s be honest—kind of badass.
With this in mind, Al Marzooqi’s mission is crystal clear: expand market access, represent the private sector’s priorities, and make doing business smoother than your favorite playlist on shuffle. Easy? Not at all. Exciting? Absolutely.
Who Exactly Is Ali Mohammad Al Marzooqi?
This isn’t his first rodeo. Al Marzooqi has racked up experience across government, finance, industry, and education. Basically, if you tried to put his CV on one page, you’d need a magnifying glass. He’s led transformations, optimized operations, and knows how to navigate complex systems without breaking a sweat.
Second Vice Chairman H.E. Shamis Al Dhaheri called the appointment a big step in helping companies “move faster, explore new horizons, and achieve greater added value.” Translation: he’s here to supercharge the private sector’s hustle.
Why Businesses Should Be Excited
If you’re a business owner in Abu Dhabi, here’s the headline: the Chamber wants to be your biggest cheerleader. It connects you with the right partners, clears obstacles, and opens doors you didn’t even know existed. Whether you’re running a scrappy startup or a multinational juggernaut, the Chamber’s message is loud and clear—“we’ve got your back.”
And with Al Marzooqi in charge, the focus is on action, not bureaucracy. Expect clearer advocacy, stronger networks, and an even bigger push to turn ambition into actual, measurable growth.
Final Take
This appointment isn’t just about filling a leadership role—it’s about momentum. With over 158,000 member companies already under its wing, the Abu Dhabi Chamber is doubling down on being the go-to platform for advocacy, trade, and investment. And now, with Ali Mohammad Al Marzooqi steering the ship, the private sector’s future looks a lot like that Falcon Economy: fast, powerful, and soaring sky-high.
So buckle up, Abu Dhabi. Things are about to get interesting.
