A New Member Rooted in Italian Expertise
The Italiacamp Hub for Made in Italy in Abu Dhabi is pleased to welcome PLM Financial Advisory as its newest member, a UAE-based financial consultancy that has built its practice at the intersection of international standards and the UAE's National Agenda and strategic priority of accelerating finance capabilities of Emirati Natonals.
PLM Financial Advisory's membership reinforces a dimension of the Hub that goes beyond traditional sectors: the export of Italian professional expertise, methodology and rigour into the UAE's financial and institutional ecosystem. It is a concrete example of how Italian companies operating in the Gulf can contribute to the country's national agenda while building long-term, meaningful presence in the region.

To govern and scale this initiative, PLM Financial Advisory and AICPA & CIMA have established the Finance Emiratisation Think Tanka practitioner-led advisory board chaired by H.E. Hamad Abdullah AlmasFormer Executive Director at the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, and composed of leaders spanning Abu Dhabi government, international banking, global accounting standards and UAE corporate finance.
In its first year, the Academy targets a minimum of 1,000 Emirati professionals across these levels, alongside 5,000 school-age learners..
Why This Matters for the Hub Community
PLM Financial Advisory represents a new type of member within the Abu Dhabi Hub: a professional services firm operating at the intersection of institutional dialogue, human capital development and financial education, areas that are increasingly central to doing business sustainably in the UAE.
This partnership is a reminder that Made in Italy is about the quality, depth and adaptability of Italian expertise and its ability to create lasting value in complex, fast-moving markets like the UAE.
