The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre have announced a new AED55 billion pipeline of public-private partnership (PPP) projects. This initiative brings 24 major infrastructure developments to the market across the next two years. The projects are scheduled for tender throughout 2026 and 2027. This move aims to attract a high level of foreign and domestic investment while encouraging private sector participation in the emirate’s growth.

The programme represents a significant phase in the long-term infrastructure strategy for Abu Dhabi. It highlights the ability of the emirate to create and manage large-scale projects through structured partnerships. The initiative also aims to help international companies establish a presence in the region and supports the Abu Dhabi Local Content programme. These efforts are expected to strengthen the local supply chain and industrial foundations of the city.

The pipeline is divided into three main categories. The transport sector is the largest component with 11 road developments valued at AED35 billion. This includes more than 300km of new roads, tunnels and intersections. Additionally, five infrastructure projects worth AED11 billion will focus on environmental safety. These include dams, flood control systems, water storage and urban landscaping.

Social infrastructure makes up the final portion of the pipeline. Eight projects totalling AED9 billion will deliver schools, university campuses and specialist healthcare facilities. These assets are intended to improve long-term liveability and support community development. This announcement aligns with the upcoming Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026. The event will showcase the ongoing work to speed up development across the emirate.
