Taking place 12-14 May 2026 at the International Convention Centre, ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, the coalition reflects a unified commitment to delivery at scale and reinforces the emirate's standing as a stable, pro-investment destination for global partners.

At a time when global infrastructure and energy systems are undergoing significant transformation, the breadth and seniority of the partner coalition spanning master planning, community development, housing delivery, and investment facilitation reflects strong confidence in the Abu Dhabi’s capacity to deliver at scale. As other markets contend with uncertainty, Abu Dhabi continues to translate ambition into measurable outcomes, bringing together the decision-makers shaping the emirate's next generation of infrastructure at ADIS. Held under the theme 'The Urban Evolution: Rethinking Cities, Redefining How We Live,' ADIS 2026 convenes this ecosystem with a clear mandate to move beyond dialogue and accelerate delivery, with senior executives from across the participating organisations taking to the stage to bring real-world delivery experience directly to the summit's programme.

H.E. Eng. Maysarah Mahmoud Salim Eid, Director General of ADPIC, said: "The partners joining ADIS 2026 bring the capability, commitment, and track record needed to help enhance Abu Dhabi's built environment and accelerate its growth. In a world navigating complexity and change, the capital continues to build with purpose and with the right partners by its side. ADIS is where policy, capital, and expertise converge, and where the relationships formed today lay the foundation for the cities we shape tomorrow."
