Purpose built to serve the unique needs of the renewable energy and clean technology industry, Masdar City is a magnet for companies, financial capital and talent in this dynamic sector. Its design and infrastructure reinforce the many benefits of industry clustering, while providing the world-class office, sales, demonstration and research facilities required of the high-tech, knowledge-intensive companies and organisations operating in this sector. Firms of all sizes, and at all stages of their development will benefit from locating in Masdar City.

Masdar City also offers an unmatched technology testing, development and demonstration platform; a unique graduate research university in the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology; a community of like-minded students, academics and practitioners; and truly low-carbon living and working.

Numerous global players in the renewable energy and sustainability industry have already recognised the benefits of locating in the city. Siemens will locate major corporate facilities, including a Centre of Excellence for Smart Buildings, in the city, while GE will build its first ecomagination Centre focused on sustainable business solutions here. Others partners include BASF, Bayer MaterialScience, Korea Technopark Association, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Schneider Electric, and Swiss Village Association.

As well, the UAE successfully bid to host the secretariat of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), which will be located in Masdar City.

The city also benefits from Abu Dhabi’s many advantages – including its location adjacent to three continents and being surrounded by fast-growing emerging markets, a pro-business environment, supportive government policies, safety, and a modern, high quality of life.
