Abu Dhabi has announced a new AED55 billion public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline that will bring 24 major infrastructure projects to market during 2026 and 2027. The initiative has been launched jointly by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office and the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre to strengthen the emirate’s long-term infrastructure development plans and attract both local and foreign investment.
The large-scale programme will create major opportunities for private sector companies to participate in Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure growth. The projects are expected to support economic development, encourage international businesses to establish operations in Abu Dhabi and strengthen local supply chains and industrial sectors.
The new pipeline includes projects across transport, infrastructure and social development sectors.
In the transport sector, Abu Dhabi plans to develop 11 major road projects worth AED35 billion. These projects will include more than 300 kilometres of new and upgraded roads, tunnels, intersections and wider road network improvements aimed at improving connectivity across the emirate.
Another AED11 billion has been allocated for five infrastructure projects. These developments will focus on dams, water storage systems, flood control solutions, stormwater network upgrades and urban landscaping projects to improve sustainability and public infrastructure.
The social infrastructure sector will receive AED9 billion through eight projects that include sports facilities, specialist healthcare centres, schools and university campuses. These projects are designed to improve community services and support long-term liveability in Abu Dhabi.
Officials said the new pipeline represents the next stage of Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure delivery strategy, built on strong partnerships with the private sector and structured project planning.
The announcement comes ahead of the upcoming Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026, where the emirate is expected to highlight its future infrastructure and development plans.
