Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s new research centre makes its debut with $100,000 award – The National

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the world's biggest sovereign wealth funds, has launched its new innovation centre, kickstarting operations with the announcement of a $100,000 research award that focuses on investment strategies.

The Adia Lab, which was first announced in October, is an independent entity that will focus on data and computational sciences, with broad research goals that are not specific to investment-related applications, Adia said in a statement on Friday, the UAE's 51st National Day.

Among the areas it will focus on are climate change, energy transition, blockchain, financial inclusion, investing, automation, cyber-security, health sciences, education, telecommunications and space.
