The G’Day UAE website is live

Our new home at gdayuae.com is the starting point for the people, ideas and organisations bringing Australia and the UAE closer together.

The G’Day UAE website is now live. The milestone follows a gathering at the Ambassador’s residence in Abu Dhabi, hosted by Australia’s Ambassador to the UAE, His Excellency Ridwaan Jadwat, and Jessica Swann-Jadwat, where partners came together to shape what G’Day UAE will become.

G’Day UAE is a platform connecting Australia and the UAE across culture, sport and commerce. The UAE is building a world-class culture economy. Australia brings the oldest continuous culture on Earth, world-class performing arts and a proud sporting tradition. There is a natural bridge between the two countries, and G’Day UAE exists to help build it.

Where the journey begins

The website is a starting point for the people, ideas, organisations and opportunities that bring our two countries closer together. It is where you can follow the programme as it takes shape, from the launch in Abu Dhabi in December to the Industry Dialogues through 2027.

Platforms alone don’t build relationships. People do.

So, this is an open invitation. Whether you are an artist, an athlete, a business leader, an investor or simply someone who loves both nations, we’d love to say G’Day.

Thank you to our partners

Our thanks to our generous foundation partners: the Australian Embassy in the UAE, Jacobsen Family Office, Portal Global, Michael Cassel Group, Ticketek Entertainment Group (TEG) and Square1.

Thank you also to the many government, trade and business partners already on this journey with us. More supporters and sponsors will be announced shortly.

This is only the beginning.
