The ADGM is one of the two Financial Free Zones within the UAE with its own civil and commercial laws. At the heart of the ADGM model is an independent risk-based regulator, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), which grants licenses and regulates the activities of all banking and financial institutions in ADGM. As a financial free zone with an independent jurisdiction, ADGM has three independent authorities:
These three authorities ensure that ADGM offers a highly professional yet business-friendly environment operating with the best practices and recognized by all the major financial centers across the world.
The ADGM Regulatory regime for Funds has been designed to meet international standards for regulation and, where required, to provide adequate investor protection.
The FSRA has provided a facilitative, business-friendly regulatory framework while remaining compliant with the International Organisation of Securities Commission’s (IOSCO) principles for regulating Funds.

The ADGM Tech Startup License is extremely low-cost (starting at $700) in comparison to the other licenses at the ADGM. Obtaining the ADGM Tech Startup License in Abu Dhabi, grants the entrepreneur(s) access to world-class co-working space and an ecosystem of fellow technology companies and access to the leading venture capital firms in the region.
Eligibility for the incentivised license is determined at the time of application and the duration is fixed. eg if a startup is approved for the seed stage incentivised license, it will have two years in seed-stage and will automatically move into the emergent stage in its third year of operations in ADGM regardless of the number of full-time employees.
Local, regional and international startups can apply for this license; especially those startups with an innovative tech business model that leverages technology as the main platform to solve customer challenges and that provides products and services that meet specific market needs.
