The platform, known as ADEED, is designed to support the movement of materials and industrial inputs linked to trade flows, as regional supply chains face evolving pressures.
ADIO said the initiative combines its market intelligence and business support capabilities to give greater visibility into supply chain activity and help companies maintain operations. The platform focuses on safeguarding the flow of goods, particularly those tied to exports and production inputs.
7X will provide operational support through its logistics network, coordinating transport and fulfilment solutions across air, road and sea, both domestically and internationally.
The initiative brings together several Abu Dhabi entities, including the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Abu Dhabi Customs and Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, forming a coordinated network to address potential disruptions.
Economic support
Under this framework, ADDED supports economic activity, while Abu Dhabi Customs oversees logistics processes across ports and manages import and export challenges. ADQCC is tasked with ensuring supply reliability through standards, conformity assessments and access to qualified suppliers.
The platform uses artificial intelligence to generate insights into supply chain and trade operations, allowing businesses and government entities to identify gaps, structure requests and connect with relevant logistics and trade support.
Requests are channelled through the chamber’s trade working group and managed across participating entities to ensure continuity of supply chains.
ADIO’s trade and industry team will support businesses in sourcing suppliers, while 7X will coordinate transport and logistics to facilitate the movement of goods.
The initiative is part of broader efforts by Abu Dhabi to strengthen its position as a global trade and investment hub and support long-term economic growth.
