Abu Dhabi has officially announced an ambitious Dh55 billion investment strategy aimed at transforming the emirate’s landscape through 24 strategic public-private partnership (PPP) projects. Scheduled for roll-out between 2026 and 2027, the initiative prioritizes transport and connectivity with a Dh35 billion allocation, alongside Dh11 billion for urban and water infrastructure and Dh9 billion for social development. Officials from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre noted that this pipeline represents a significant move to accelerate economic growth by leveraging private-sector expertise to deliver essential public works.

The upcoming phase includes extensive road upgrades covering 300 kilometers, alongside major bridge links connecting areas like Hudayriyat Island, Al Nouf, and Abu Al Abyad Island. According to leadership at the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre, the initiative will also feature a secondary transport pipeline valued between Dh40 billion and Dh50 billion. With procurement already underway for the initial Dh7 billion batch of projects—focusing primarily on road networks and educational facilities—the emirate is firmly moving toward its goal of expanding its master plan to new urban frontiers while fostering a more robust, integrated infrastructure network.
