The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre have jointly launched a new AED55 billion public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline, bringing 24 infrastructure projects across transport, infrastructure and social sectors to market throughout 2026 and 2027. The pipeline creates immediate, large-scale opportunities for private sector participation and is expected to mobilise significant foreign and domestic investment into Abu Dhabi.
The pipeline marks the next phase of Abu Dhabi’s long-term infrastructure delivery strategy and underscores the emirate’s continued ability to originate and advance projects at scale through structured partnerships with the private sector. It also supports the establishment of international companies, contributes to Abu Dhabi Local Content programme initiatives and strengthens the emirate’s supply chain and industrial base.
Underpinned by a clear delivery framework and sustained private-sector interest, the programme includes a diversified portfolio of projects designed to support the emirate’s next phase of development.
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, delivering essential, government-backed assets that support community development and enhance long-term liveability.
This announcement comes as Abu Dhabi prepares to host the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026, highlighting the emirate’s continued efforts to accelerate infrastructure delivery and development.
