We’re on the road again this week - broadcasting LIVE from the Abu Dhabi Finance Week. As we look ahead to COP28 next week we spoke to Khatija Haque, Chief Economist, Emirates NBD about what the focus will be and what it could mean for markets. Exactly a year ago, Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts, the judiciary of the UAE capital’s financial free zone, launched a new blockchain-based system that was aimed at digitally certifying judgments and allowing their availability and enforcement anywhere in the world. Linda Fitz-Alan, Chief Executive at ADGM Courts joined the Business Breakfast for the latest on that and why ADGM Courts is taking mediation to the metaverse. Plus, we hear from Kareem Elsirafy, Managing Partner, Modus - UAE-based venture platform who are investing a total of $2.8 million in new start-ups operating in the Middle East markets. Finally, we’ll hear from Kabir Mulchandani, Chairman and Founder, FIVE Holdings. They are considering expanding the hotel brand into London and even Saudi Arabia, boss Kabir Mulchandani has told the Business Breakfast.
