A new school is also planned in Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi. ADIO and the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) have teamed up with Shining Star International School to build it. The school will cost AED 97 million and will be built in two parts. It will hold up to 4,000 students and teach them using the Indian school system from Grade 1 to Grade 12. This school will give children a great place to learn.
Mansoor Al Bastaki, Head of Musataha at ADIO, said: “These projects show how the government and businesses can work together. With Musataha, we are building better places for people to live, shop, and learn.”
The Musataha programme helps local investors use government land to build important projects. This way, both businesses and the government can work together to make life better for everyone.
The Al Multaqa meetings happen every three months. In these meetings, the government shares updates on Abu Dhabi’s economy and shows businesses where they can invest. These meetings also give businesses and the government a chance to share ideas and make plans together.
ADIO helps businesses grow by giving them support and advice. These projects are helping Abu Dhabi become a better place for people to live, work, and learn.
