The meeting will be co-chaired by Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), and Kodaira Nobuyuki, President of the Japan Cooperation Centre for the middle East (JCCME).
ADJEC will continue the efforts made from both sides to follow up on the implementation of the decisions made during previous sessions, and the recommendations issued by them, in addition to raising the level of cooperation between the business sectors of the two countries and to support Japanese companies to expand their investment in Abu Dhabi.
The session will focus on the discussions of work teams and joint groups to enhance cooperation in the energy, renewable energy, infrastructure, media, education and human resources development sectors.
As part of the 9th session of the council, ADDED will also organise a forum to introduce Japanese companies to the investment opportunities available in Abu Dhabi in the industrial, energy, finance and real estate sectors.
During the forum, the department's Industrial Development Bureau will review investment opportunities between Abu Dhabi and Tokyo in the industrial sector.
This is part of the bureau’s work to launch initiatives and form partnerships with international institutions to achieve the goals of Abu Dhabi's industrial sector.
The goals include increasing the size of the industrial sector in the emirate to AED172 billion, creating 13,600 new job opportunities, and increasing Abu Dhabi’s non-oil exports to reach AED178.8 billion by 2031.
Several areas of cooperation will be presented by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) in the areas of energy, petrochemicals and renewable energy.
