Abu Dhabi to showcase US$56bn infrastructure pipeline in Munich
The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) will lead the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) International Roadshow 2026 at EXPO REAL in Munich from 5 to 7 October, showcasing the Emirate’s infrastructure opportunities, valued at more than US$56 billion, to international investors and industry leaders.
The roadshow aims to strengthen strategic partnerships and connect Abu Dhabi’s capital projects and infrastructure priorities with global investment, technical expertise and urban innovation. The initiative follows a state visit by Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, to Germany in September 2026, which explored opportunities to deepen cooperation, particularly in the economic and development sectors.
The Abu Dhabi delegation will include government officials from the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), Abu Dhabi Housing Authority (ADHA) and Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), alongside roadshow partners Aldar, Bloom Holding, Lead Development, Modon and Trojan Construction.
Together, the delegation will present ongoing projects and development priorities supporting Abu Dhabi’s next phase of growth across housing, transport, culture, education and social infrastructure.
At EXPO REAL, the delegation will engage international investors, developers, contractors, financiers, technology companies and industry leaders to broaden access to the Emirate’s infrastructure opportunities, strengthen relationships with European markets and create new avenues for private-sector collaboration across its development pipeline.
Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of the Department of Municipalities and Transport, said, “Abu Dhabi’s next phase of growth requires partnerships that bring together capital, engineering excellence, and innovation around clear delivery objectives that prioritise long-term value. Europe’s strengths in advanced construction and infrastructure systems complement Abu Dhabi’s scale of ambition and active project pipeline.
“Through the ADIS International Roadshow, we are creating direct connections between our government and business ecosystems, strengthening international partnerships, and exploring practical opportunities for global companies to contribute to the infrastructure and communities shaping the Emirate’s future.”
The roadshow will focus on expertise across advanced engineering and construction, industrial technologies, advanced building materials, modular construction, technical services and long-term asset performance. Technology will also feature prominently, with the delegation seeking proven solutions in artificial intelligence, data-led capital project delivery, digital twins, industrialised construction and smart infrastructure to improve the planning, delivery and operation of major projects.
The initiative comes as EXPO REAL expands its 2026 focus to include infrastructure through its new InfrastructureNow platform, which connects investors, financiers, developers, operators and public-sector decision-makers around investable infrastructure opportunities and partnerships.
Eng. Maysarah Mahmoud Salim Eid, Director General of Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre, said, “EXPO REAL gives us an important opportunity to take Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure priorities directly to the international organisations that can help deliver them. ADPIC’s role is to provide a clear, coordinated framework for capital projects and create the conditions for effective private-sector participation.
“Through the ADIS International Roadshow, we want to build qualified relationships with investors, developers, engineering firms, technology providers, and construction leaders, and translate those conversations into practical opportunities that support Abu Dhabi’s next phase of infrastructure development.”
Through a unified Abu Dhabi Pavilion, high-level government and business meetings, speaking engagements and targeted industry discussions, the delegation will showcase the Emirate’s experience in integrated urban planning, coordinated government delivery, large-scale programme execution and structured public-private partnership models. The engagements will also connect Abu Dhabi with international partners whose expertise can strengthen the quality, efficiency and long-term performance of infrastructure delivery.
The ADIS Roadshow 2026 in Munich builds on the momentum of the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) 2026, which brought together more than 17,500 participants, 650 government officials and VIPs, and over 100 speakers in Abu Dhabi.
Previous international roadshows held in Singapore, Shanghai and Türkiye resulted in multiple strategic agreements and more than 30 targeted meetings across construction, engineering, technology and urban development.
Through its international roadshow programme, ADPIC continues to extend ADIS beyond its annual summit, strengthening global partnerships and creating new opportunities for international organisations to participate in and contribute to Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure development.
