ADIO also has other public-private sector partnerships, including the development of world-class facilities for the Khalifa University of Science and Technology student housing.
The Zayed City Schools Project aims to enhance the quality of the education sector in the emirate, and encourage the private sector to participate in financing and constructing public infrastructure facilities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Yasir Al Nuaimi, Acting Head of Infrastructure Partnerships at ADIO, said: “By leveraging the expertise of the private sector in design, financing and construction, we have been able to build world-class educational facilities that enable students to achieve the maximum possible benefit from the educational process. The success of this project paves the way for further collaboration between the public and private sectors, as it provides significant opportunities for our private sector partners to contribute to achieving the vision of sustainable growth in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and to achieve long-term investment returns.”
