The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre have jointly launched a AED55 billion public-private partnership pipeline, opening 24 infrastructure projects to private sector investment through 2026 and 2027

The portfolio is divided across three categories. Transport takes the largest share: 11 road developments valued at AED35 billion, covering more than 300 kilometres of new and upgraded roads, tunnels, intersections and network improvements.

Five infrastructure projects, including dams, water storage, flood control systems and stormwater upgrades, account for AED11 billion. The remaining AED9 billion covers eight social infrastructure projects, among them sports facilities, healthcare assets, schools and university campuses.

ADIO and ADPIC said the pipeline is designed to attract both foreign and domestic investment, support the Abu Dhabi Local Content programme and strengthen the emirate’s supply chain and industrial base.

The announcement was made ahead of the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026.
