The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has announced 29 commercial deployment agreements for autonomous mobility technologies.
The 29 commercial agreements span sectors from e-commerce, food and goods delivery with partners such as Integrated Transport Centre (AD Mobility), Talabat, Noon, and Aramex, to healthcare delivery and logistics with PureLab, and industrial logistics automation.
The ADIO partnerships also involve K2, LODD Autonomous (LODD), Autologix, Sinaha , TractEasy, MLG and Space42.
Each seeks to establish the capital as among the first cities globally to introduce an integrated, multi-modal autonomous regulatory and infrastructure environment that enables companies to transition from the pilot phase to commercial deployment.
Attracting inward investment and partnerships, and with testing grounds to take technology to full-scale commercialisation, Abu Dhabi has become a global destination for next-generation companies in the autonomous sector seeking to set up, innovate, test and scale their technologies.
Director general of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, His Excellency Badr Al-Olama, said: “Abu Dhabi is leading the transformation in smart mobility and logistics, with these 29 commercial pilot agreements marking a decisive step toward a future where autonomous technologies set new standards for transportation and trade.
“Anchored by the Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) cluster, these agreements translate decades of R&D into tangible commercial deployment.
“Together, they represent a defining moment, where technology begins to function as a viable and vital part of the global economy.
“This shift is enabled by the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council’s vision for a coordinated approach in which regulation, infrastructure and industry development advance together, creating a clear path for deployment, commercialisation and wider adoption.
“By advancing solutions that support e-commerce, healthcare and critical logistics, we are reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a place where emerging industries can grow faster, scale further and deliver lasting impact to businesses and communities worldwide.”
Achievements and innovations in autonomous technologies will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
