Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects

Abu Dhabi’s strong commitment to fostering collaboration with the private sector is realised through the emirate’s public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives.

In 2019, a new law regulating PPPs (Law No.2) was introduced to encourage long-term involvement of the private sector in major infrastructure projects in the emirate.

Abu Dhabi’s PPP model:

Supports the growth of the private sector by increasing domestic and foreign private sector investment in infrastructure projects and the delivery of public services
Enhances financial sustainability and flexibility by spreading infrastructure investment costs over the life of the asset
Facilitates better execution and service delivery by encouraging private sector innovation in the implementation and operation of infrastructure projects

Partner with Abu Dhabi. Let’s build the future together.

Abu Dhabi has had a long history of collaboration between its public and private sectors. This partnership has been a key factor in the emirate’s remarkable growth since the 1950s and its transition into a preferred global investment destination.

In 2019, a new law regulating public-private partnerships (Law No.2) was introduced to encourage long-term involvement of the private sector in major infrastructure projects in the emirate.

Today, ADIO is the central authority for PPP. The emirate’s PPP model includes:

Supporting the private sector by increasing their investment in infrastructure projects and delivery of public services
Enhancing financial sustainability and flexibility by spreading infrastructure investment costs over the asset life
Delivering world-class execution and service delivery by encouraging private sector efficiency and innovation when implementing and operating infrastructure projects
