In April, 2006, the government of Abu Dhabi launched the Masdar Initiative, a landmark program to establish an entirely new economic sector dedicated to alternative and sustainable energy.

The Masdar Initiative offers a proactive response to today's energy and environmental challenges and is being driven by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC), a company wholly-owned by the government of Abu Dhabi through Mubadala Development Company.

Masdar is a highly strategic initiative with four primary objectives. The first is to help drive the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi. The second is to maintain, and later expand, Abu Dhabi's position in evolving global energy markets. The third is to position our country as a developer of technology, and not simply an importer. And the fourth is to make a meaningful contribution towards sustainable human development.

“We intend to move fast and
with maximum efficiency, achieving dynamic results
by creating successful
associations and partnerships.”

 

We recognize that to achieve these goals we need to openly engage partners who share the vision, resources and commitment necessary for progress in this new era of cleaner energy and more sustainable use of natural resources. Therefore, we are attracting the best international partners – corporate, academic and financial - in every aspect of Masdar. In return, we offer them a uniquely supportive environment for successful collaboration.

We intend to move fast and with maximum efficiency, achieving dynamic results by creating successful associations and partnerships with global investors, energy and industrial corporations, academic institutions and researchers of international repute. We're making significant investments in new technologies, research and specialist education to assist Abu Dhabi's expansion into more knowledge-based industries.

There is clearly much to accomplish, and we are committed to delivering tangible and substantial results through Masdar's broad scope for partnership and cooperation. Join us in the journey.
