Post by : Badri Ariffin

Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was present at the second Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) held at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi, hosted by the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC). This year’s theme, “Urban Evolution: Rethinking Cities, Redefining How We Live,” focused on crucial urban planning issues.

During his visit, Sheikh Khaled explored the exhibition, assessing cutting-edge technologies and innovative approaches pertaining to smart infrastructure and sustainable urban growth. The summit featured participation from over 75 exhibitors presenting the latest advancements in smart city developments, infrastructures for the future, and enhancing living standards.

Sheikh Khaled expressed that investing in advanced, sustainable infrastructure aligns with Abu Dhabi's long-term vision for creating resilient, efficient cities that promote economic prosperity, cater to future demands, and enhance overall community wellbeing.

The summit gathered more than 7,000 stakeholders, including industry leaders, officials, specialists, and representatives from top local and international firms. Over 100 speakers and 250 governmental delegates engaged in discussions that revolved around prospective urban evolution.

Key discussions spotlighted four essential pillars that will define future cities: infrastructure, quality of life, intelligent solutions, and sustainability coupled with resilience.

An exclusive Abu Dhabi pavilion illustrated the emirate's comprehensive urban planning strategy, showcasing entities accountable for mobility, sustainable infrastructure, and city development. Prominent organizations from the real estate, transportation, and social infrastructure sectors highlighted initiatives related to Abu Dhabi's substantial US$57 billion infrastructure program.

Sheikh Khaled was joined by notable Abu Dhabi officials, including Sheikh Khalifa bin Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Saif Saeed Ghobash, and Maysarah Mahmoud Eid.
