Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan commended ADQ's continued efforts to reinforce the foundations of economic resilience and sustainable development, highlighting the company's role in driving value creation across its diversified portfolio spanning key sectors of the economy.

The meeting included a review of ADQ's financial performance for Q2 2025, which continues on a strong growth trajectory. The board was also updated on ADQ's acquisition of a 35 per cent stake in Limagrain Vegetable Seeds (LVS), the vegetable seed division of Limagrain. This transaction represented a strategic entry into a critical segment of the global food value chain and reinforced ADQ's role in advancing food and agriculture capabilities.

In parallel, the research and development partnership between Silal and LVS is set to accelerate innovation in desert-adapted seeds and play a pivotal role in advancing the UAE's national food security agenda.

Updates were also shared on achievements across ADQ's portfolio companies. In Transport & Logistics, Abu Dhabi Airports welcomed more than 15.8 million passengers in the first half of 2025, a 13.1 per cent increase over the same period in 2024. This represents over four consecutive years of double-digit growth, underscoring its role as a key driver of the UAE's economic diversification and global connectivity.
