Industry is the economic backbone of a nation. The UAE has been clear about its intentions to diversify the economy and develop sectors that contribute to the higher end of the value chain. The industrial sector is key to the UAE’s ambitions to develop a diversified, sustainable economy.

In addition to the development of these specialized clusters, the UAE is developing the necessary transportation infrastructure. In Abu Dhabi, ZonesCorp, the Higher Corporation for Specialized Economic Zones, is charged with promoting industrial growth and has established ICAD I, II, and III, and Al Ain Industrial City I and II. Future developments include ICAD IV and V, Construction and Building Materials Zone, and Workers’ Residential Cities.
