The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) has announced that more than 2,875 Emirati businesswomen joined its membership in the first half of 2025, a milestone that underscores the growing role of Emirati women in shaping the national economy.
This significant increase highlights the strong momentum of female entrepreneurship in the UAE and reflects the Chamber’s commitment to supporting women as key drivers of sustainable economic growth. The surge also aligns with the country’s broader vision to empower women across business, technology, finance, and other critical sectors.
