Abu Dhabi Launches ADEED Platform to Boost Trade and Supply Chain Resilience
Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in partnership with 7X, has officially launched ADEED, the UAE Supply Chain Support Platform. This strategic initiative aims to enhance business continuity within Abu Dhabi and the broader UAE as the regional economic landscape continues to evolve.
Strengthening Supply Chain Agility
ADIO, a key government entity and trade facilitator, is taking proactive measures to ensure that Abu Dhabi remains agile, responsive, and resilient. ADEED integrates ADIO’s market insights and business support capabilities to enhance visibility and support for the movement of materials and industrial inputs linked to exports. This initiative is designed to safeguard trade flows and maintain supply chain continuity.
7X, recognized for its role in trade, transport, and logistics, will address business supply chain needs identified through ADEED. The company will provide coordinated operational solutions across its ecosystem and partner network, facilitating support through air, road, and sea transportation, both domestically and internationally.
Collaborative Ecosystem of Partners
In addition to ADIO and 7X, ADEED’s strategic partners include the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED), Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ADCCI), Abu Dhabi Customs, and the Abu Dhabi Quality & Conformity Council (ADQCC). This collaborative ecosystem showcases Abu Dhabi’s commitment to addressing potential supply chain disruptions.
ADDED plays a crucial role in shaping Abu Dhabi’s economic architecture, while Abu Dhabi Customs focuses on enhancing supply chains and managing logistics cycles across ports. ADQCC is tasked with ensuring the reliability of alternative sourcing by setting standards and conducting conformity assessments, thus strengthening supply chain continuity and quality.
Leveraging Technology for Operational Insights
At the heart of the ADEED platform is artificial intelligence, which provides actionable insights into supply chain and trade operations. This technology enables businesses and government entities to navigate processes more efficiently. By structuring requests and identifying gaps in supply chain needs, ADEED connects users with the appropriate trade and logistics expertise, thereby facilitating informed decision-making and operational continuity.
The ADCCI Trade Working Group has raised various challenges, with each request monitored and coordinated among partners to ensure effective trade continuity. This collaboration merges the expertise of ADIO’s Trade & Industry team, which assists businesses in connecting with suppliers, with 7X’s logistics capabilities, ensuring efficient movement of goods.
