Major investments and contract awards are helping localise production, unlock downstream opportunities, and position Abu Dhabi as a globally competitive manufacturing hub.
The board also reviewed progress in ADQ’s adoption of advanced technologies, particularly agentic artificial intelligence. Through targeted workshops and internal initiatives, ADQ is integrating AI to automate complex workflows, enhance decision-making, and improve productivity across its operations.
