Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC) and Abu Dhabi
Housing Authority (ADHA) have signed an agreement at ‘Make it in the Emirates
2026’, the nation’s flagship industrial platform, to increase reliance on
locally manufactured building materials across housing projects in Abu Dhabi to
up to 80%.
The agreement will benefit manufacturers and suppliers in the UAE,
strengthen local supply chains and contribute to the growth of the industrial
sector and economic diversification. It will also enable the delivery of
sustainable and cost-efficient housing projects through competitive local
production.
The collaboration builds on the ongoing strategic cooperation
between ADPIC and ADHA to advance Abu Dhabi’s long-term development priorities
and reinforce the emirate’s industrial and housing ecosystem.
It reflects a shared commitment to enhancing coordination across
government entities, increasing the contribution of the local industrial sector
to major development projects and accelerating the delivery of high-quality,
future-ready homes that meet the evolving needs of citizens and communities
across Abu Dhabi.
Eng. Maysarah Mahmoud Eid, Director General of ADPIC, said: “Our
collaboration with ADHA represents a significant step in strengthening the role
of local industry within the capital project development ecosystem. By working
towards sourcing 80% of building materials locally, we are empowering UAE
manufacturers, enhancing supply chain resilience and ensuring that our
infrastructure delivery continues to meet the highest standards of quality.”
"At ADPIC, we are committed to advancing a more integrated,
efficient, and resilient approach to capital delivery. This MoU aligns with our
mandate to oversee, supervise, and monitor work across the emirate," he
added.
Hamad Hareb Al Muhairi, Director General of Abu Dhabi Housing
Authority, said: "Our collaboration with ADPIC reflects a shared
commitment to advancing a more sustainable, agile and future-ready housing
delivery ecosystem. Expanding local sourcing across housing project supply
chains is a strategic step that strengthens supply chain resilience, reduces
reliance on external markets and supports the efficient and reliable delivery
of housing projects with greater long-term stability and confidence."
Building on ADPIC and ADHA’s existing cooperation in delivering
major communities, including recently announced residential neighbourhoods for
citizens, both parties will work in tandem to increase the use of UAE-made
building materials.
The collaboration will assist local manufacturers and suppliers,
streamline procurement pathways and enable more efficient and sustainable
delivery of housing projects in line with approved standards.
The MoU reinforces Abu Dhabi’s commitment to expanding the
contribution of national industries to strategic initiatives, enhancing the
competitiveness of the local manufacturing sector, contributing to the UAE’s
broader economic diversification agenda and advancing the role of the
industrial sector in sustainable development.-TradeArabia News Service
