As a dedicated platform for companies established in Abu Dhabi's free zones, ADX offers a gateway to the capital markets, providing a multitude of benefits for your business.

As of 2020, a new regulation from the Securities Commission Authority (SCA) enabled companies registered in various UAE free zones to list their shares on the ADX markets.
