Abu Dhabi Investment Office and Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre have unveiled a landmark AED55 billion public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline, opening the door for private sector involvement in 24 major infrastructure projects scheduled for rollout across 2026 and 2027.
The initiative signals a new phase in Abu Dhabi’s long-term infrastructure development strategy, reinforcing the emirate’s focus on scalable delivery models that combine government planning with private sector expertise. It is also expected to attract substantial domestic and international capital while supporting industrial growth, strengthening supply chains, and advancing the emirate’s local content objectives.
The pipeline spans three key sectors:
- Transport: 11 large-scale road projects worth approximately AED35 billion, covering more than 300km of new and upgraded highways, tunnels, intersections, and network enhancements designed to improve mobility and connectivity across the emirate.
- Core infrastructure: AED11 billion allocated to five projects including dams, water storage facilities, flood mitigation systems, stormwater management upgrades, and urban landscaping works aimed at boosting resilience and environmental sustainability.
- Social infrastructure: AED9 billion dedicated to eight projects encompassing schools, universities, healthcare facilities, and sports assets, strengthening community services and enhancing long-term livability.
Together, these developments reflect Abu Dhabi’s continued push to deliver high-impact public assets through structured PPP frameworks that encourage private sector participation and innovation.
The announcement also comes ahead of the upcoming Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026, which is expected to spotlight the emirate’s expanding infrastructure agenda and its growing role as a global hub for large-scale project investment.
