Abu Dhabi Media Office

A dedicated zone for Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) will be set up in the UAE capital, which is expected to contribute AED 90 to AED 120 billion to the UAE economy and generate 30,000-50,000 jobs.

Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has endorsed the SAVI cluster, which aims to transform the development of autonomous vehicles across air, land and sea.

He said the initiative is part of Abu Dhabi's efforts to enhance its competitiveness while transitioning to clean and sustainable industries.

Sheikh Khaled also gave directives to create an enabling ecosystem to drive the sector’s growth and establish strategic partnerships to develop Emirati talent and attract global talent.
