ABU DHABI: The Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre has unveiled the programme for the second edition of the Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026, bringing together senior government officials, developers and global infrastructure leaders for a major three-day event in the UAE capital.

A key addition this year is a partnership with the International Federation of Consulting Engineers, introducing specialised sessions on procurement, contract management and infrastructure risk management. The summit will also host leadership roundtables and business matchmaking sessions aimed at strengthening public and private sector partnerships.
According to organisers, Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2026 aims to position Abu Dhabi as a global hub for infrastructure innovation while supporting investment opportunities and international collaboration across the sector. The event also includes CPD accredited sessions for professionals attending from around the world.
