The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry will soon have a new board of directors.
That's according to a new resolution issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.
Chaired by Emirati businessman Abdulla Al Mazroui, the new board will include 23 founders, CEOs and chairpeople, and will represent more than 15 key economic sectors, including financial services, healthcare, logistics, telecommunications, agriculture, manufacturing and technology.
"Almost 50 per cent of members represent the private sector, and 57 per cent are UAE nationals," Abu Dhabi Media Office tweeted.
"Together, they bring leadership experience from companies in 15 countries across five continents."
