One of the world’s most influential figures in real estate development, technology, and economic transformation, Mohamed Alabbar, founder and chairman of Eagle Hills, will participate in the Adria Future Summit, taking place from 22 to 24 April in Porto Montenegro
His participation reflects the growing importance of the region as a destination for strategic investment, innovation, and large-scale development projects. As Adriatic countries continue to modernize infrastructure and accelerate sustainable urbanization, Alabbar’s presence underscores a shift toward integrating advanced technologies with the preservation of cultural heritage.
“The Adria region is at a pivotal moment,” said Mohamed Alabbar. “What I see here is energy, ambition, and untapped potential. The Adria Future Summit is more than an event; it is a catalyst for partnerships and bold ideas that can redefine the future of cities, communities, and economies. I am excited to be part of this journey.”
Biljana Braithwaite, founder of the Summit and CEO of Sustineri Partners, highlighted the evolution driving the platform: “What began as the ESG Adria Summit laid strong foundations for responsible business and investment. Today, as the Adria Future Summit, we are accelerating that vision—connecting sustainability with innovation, investment, and long-term regional competitiveness. The arrival of leaders such as Mohamed Alabbar reflects the Summit’s growing international influence and ambition.”
Alabbar is globally recognized as the founder of Emaar Properties, the developer behind landmark projects including Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and Dubai Mall. These developments have played a key role in positioning Dubai as a global hub for tourism, investment, and innovation. Beyond real estate, he is also known as a relentless technology innovator, having launched noon.com to compete in the e-commerce market across the Arab world, and founded Zand, the first digital bank in the United Arab Emirates.
Through Eagle Hills, he has led the development of large-scale master-planned communities, marinas, and waterfront destinations across three continents, delivering mixed-use urban projects, luxury marinas, and coastal revitalization initiatives designed to stimulate long-term economic growth.
The Adriatic region is becoming an increasingly important part of this global vision, with Montenegro in particular attracting attention as a destination with the potential for a new kind of development—one that is fully designed and driven by artificial intelligence, setting new global standards for how technology and nature can coexist.
Reflecting the growing international significance of the Adria Future Summit, this year’s edition continues to attract globally influential leaders, reinforcing the event’s role in supporting strategic investment, innovation, and future-oriented development across the region.
