Abu Dhabi, 19 October 2026
In a move reflecting Abu Dhabi’s growing appeal as a global hub for high-value investments, Abu Dhabi
National Investment and Development P.J.S.C. (ADID) welcomed Mr. Wolfgang Egger, founder of the
European company PATRIZIA, one of the world’s leading institutions in real-asset investment
management, with approximately USD 65 billion in assets under management. The high-level strategic
meeting explored opportunities for cooperation and the development of joint investment projects across
real estate, agriculture, industry, food security and renewable energy. The meeting coincided with the
signing of a strategic partnership between the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre and
PATRIZIA, aimed at strengthening cooperation in investment and infrastructure in the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi, reflecting PATRIZIA’s extensive global expertise in the asset sector.
The meeting was chaired by H.E. Rashid Ali Al Omaira, Chairman of ADID. The two sides discussed
prospects for establishing strategic partnerships that leverage PATRIZIA’s global investment expertise
and the growing economic and investment opportunities in the UAE, paving the way for high-value
projects capable of generating added economic value and sustainable returns.
The meeting also featured a presentation of ADID’s ambitious investment vision, which aims to
establish an integrated investment and operating platform encompassing real estate and industrial
development, smart agriculture, food industries, advanced technologies and renewable energy, through
an innovative economic model that connects investment, production, innovation and sustainability.
ADID places particular emphasis on developing an integrated food security ecosystem built on the
adoption of modern agricultural technologies, strengthening local production, developing food value
chains and linking them with research and development and clean energy solutions. This approach
opens up new avenues for long-term investment and supports the strategic priorities of the UAE.
The discussions addressed opportunities to benefit from PATRIZIA’s international expertise in
managing and developing real assets, while exploring cooperation models that combine the two parties’
investment capabilities and technical and operational expertise, helping turn available opportunities into
economic projects with tangible impact.
This direction is particularly significant in light of Abu Dhabi’s growing position as a preferred destination
for global capital, supported by advanced infrastructure, a competitive regulatory and investment
environment, and a long-term economic vision that places diversification and sustainability at the
forefront of its priorities.
H.E. Rashid Ali Al Omaira, Chairman of ADID, said: “Bringing together PATRIZIA’s global investment
expertise and the exceptional capabilities and opportunities offered by Abu Dhabi opens broad horizons
for building high-value partnerships that go beyond the traditional concept of investment, towards
developing integrated projects that create sustainable economic value and enhance returns for our
shareholders and partners.”

He added: “We believe the next phase holds significant investment opportunities in sectors related to
food security, advanced agriculture, industry and clean energy. We look forward to this meeting marking
the beginning of fruitful cooperation that translates shared visions into tangible investment opportunities
and projects.”
This meeting forms part of the strategic transformation being led by ADID to expand and diversify its
investment activities, strengthen its presence in priority economic sectors, and attract international
partners with the expertise and capabilities needed to develop major projects with sustainable economic
viability.
The meeting also reflects ADID’s direction towards moving beyond investment in traditional assets to
building integrated economic ecosystems that bring together real estate assets, industrial and
agricultural production, technology and sustainability, enhancing its ability to seize investment
opportunities locally, regionally and internationally.
As ADID engages with global investment institutions of PATRIZIA’s scale, attention turns to the
potential opportunities for cooperation and future projects that may emerge from these discussions,
while Abu Dhabi continues to consolidate its position as a global hub bringing together capital, expertise
and promising investment opportunities.
