The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) has announced the launch of the Advocacy Hub initiative to facilitate communication between businesses and government agencies.
The initiative is set to “boost the private sector’s voice, promote constructive dialogue by exploring noteworthy developments from the business community, propose innovative solutions to address challenges, and provide a platform for proposing ideas and recommendations on policies and legislation”.
In the first phase of the launch, businesses from various commercial, investment, and industrial sectors will be invited to join and propose the formulation of communal working groups in various economic activities, addressing the interests of businesses and enhancing their competitive capabilities.
The Chamber will then be able to assess the position of the private sector on an ongoing basis, identifying the challenges it faces and proposing suggestions and practical and appropriate solutions to these challenges.
During the second phase of the launch, 40 Community Working Groups will be formed to represent various economic activities based on the proposals received from businesses.
“The initiative will contribute to empowering the private sector, solidifying its role in boosting the competitiveness of the business environment, strengthening its position as the preferred destination for doing business by 2025”
Abdullah Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Chamber
The initiative focuses on identifying and discussing key challenges and the most prominent solutions and ideas to enhance the prosperity of the different business sectors in Abu Dhabi, according to the official press release.
Ahmed Khalifa Al Qubaisi, CEO of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, confirmed that the Hub will provide a supportive environment for working groups, whether sectoral or representing economic activities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
He asserted that these groups would bolster the Abu Dhabi Chamber’s endeavours to align with the swiftly evolving landscape of the local, regional, and global economy while advancing the collective goals of the emirate’s business community.
“The Abu Dhabi Chamber will continue to launch initiatives and projects that will contribute to improving the Emirate’s business ecosystem and provide appropriate support to entrepreneurs and businessmen so that they can thrive in an effective and sustainable economic environment,” Al Qubaisi added.
In November, the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) launched the “Entrepreneur’s Journey” to guide entrepreneurs through the business journey from ideation to long-term success.
