Abu Dhabi has greenlighted 24 infrastructure projects under a new AED55 billion public-private partnership that will see the development of roads, flood control systems and education campuses among others.
Jointly launched between Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre, the projects will market throughout 2026 and 2027.
The move is aimed to mobilise significant foreign and domestic investment into Abu Dhabi, contribute to Abu Dhabi Local Content programme initiatives and strengthen the emirate’s supply chain and industrial base.
In transport, 11 major road developments are planned, representing AED35 billion in construction capital and covering more than 300km of new and upgraded roads, tunnels, intersections and wider network improvements.
A further AED11 billion has been allocated to five infrastructure projects, including dams, water storage, flood control systems, stormwater upgrades and urban landscaping.
Eight social infrastructure projects account for AED9 billion and include sports facilities, specialist healthcare assets, schools and university campuses.
