From our humble origins in pearl fishing, Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has rapidly grown into a global business hub. We have achieved much of the vision of our late founder H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and our ambition to go further is stronger than ever.

ADIO was established in 2019 to create opportunities for domestic and foreign investors and organisations in Abu Dhabi, enhance the investment and innovation ecosystem of Abu Dhabi and be the Abu Dhabi Government centre of excellence of Public Private Partnerships. A core pillar of its mandate and strategy is its role in encouraging private sector involvement in the PPP Programme and the Incentive Programme. In executing its mandate, ADIO’s ESG vision is to ensure that private sector investment and delivery of world class infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi enhance and preserve the best interests of the people of Abu Dhabi. ADIO’s focus on responsible investing, sustainability, social impact and economic principles support this vision.

Capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is a global business hub and one of the Arab world’s largest and wealthiest economies. More than 1.48 million people across 200 nationalities call Abu Dhabi home and we welcome over 11 million tourists into the emirate each year, making Abu Dhabi a thriving and exciting destination for your business and your family.

The Government has identified Partnership Projects as a method of accelerating infrastructure investment, accessing private finance and improving the delivery and quality of public assets and services.
