Najah Abudhabi

About

The Educational & Professional Training Institutes Industry fair

Najah Abu Dhabi is the region’s premier higher-education and student-recruitment fair, connecting students, parents, educators and institutions under one roof. Held annually at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Halls 2 & 3) in Abu Dhabi, the event delivers three intensive days of exploration, guidance and opportunity for those seeking academic pathways and global study options. 

Organised by Informa Connect, Najah Abu Dhabi brings together over 100 universities from more than 20 countries, featuring diverse programme offerings, scholarship information and work-and-study opportunities. It’s not simply an exhibition—it’s a gateway into global education, career development and informed decision-making.

Each year the fair draws thousands of students, parents and school groups, alongside representatives of international and regional institutions, making it a key hub for educational matchmaking and outreach. Attendees can walk the hall, meet university delegates, explore interactive stands, ask about admissions and scholarships, and attend free-to-join seminars. 

Beyond the exhibition floor, Najah Abu Dhabi features an educational conference and workshop schedule where industry experts, career-counsellors and academic leaders deliver insights on admissions, financial aid, study-abroad strategies and evolving education trends. These sessions create a dynamic mix of discovery and guidance. 

The event is structured across several enriching zones and experiences, including:

• Exhibition Hall – A gathering of global universities and education providers showcasing hundreds of study pathways and programmes.

• Scholarship & Study Abroad Zone – Dedicated to funding opportunities, international study counselling and cross-border exchange programmes.

• Free Seminar Stage – Interactive sessions covering topics such as “How to choose the right university”, “Scholarships 101”, “Career paths after study”.

• School Group Area – A space designed for large student contingents and educators to explore together, with tailored schedules and guidance.

Whether you’re a secondary-school student deciding on next steps, a parent researching global education options, an educator supporting learners, or a university seeking to recruit internationally, Najah Abu Dhabi offers a rich environment to connect, learn and act.

By combining exhibition, dialogue and professional-development elements, Najah Abu Dhabi strengthens the UAE’s status as a crossroads for global education access and academic opportunity in the Middle East.
