Marking a decisive moment in global smart mobility, the landmark deals, secured by ADIO with partnerships involving K2, LODD Autonomous (LODD), Autologix, Sinaha, TractEasy, MLG and Space42, 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.

The 29 commercial agreements span critical 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.

Proven autonomous solutions for air and ground delivery, alongside specialised industrial applications, have commenced real-world operations across Abu Dhabi. This integrated approach, regulated and enabled across the entire range of transportation modes by SASC, is changing how consumers and companies send and receive goods.
