Abu Dhabi, UAE – December 5, 2024 — The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority (ADCDA) and Ambipar, a global leader in environmental solutions, to explore opportunities to enhance emergency response capabilities and industrial services in Abu Dhabi. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen emergency preparedness and safety in the industrial sector, develop local capacity, promote innovation, and facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology.
The MoU was signed during the inauguration of Abu Dhabi Business Week (ADBW), held from December 4 to 6, 2024, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.
The agreement focuses on improving prevention and safety in the industrial sector, leveraging the expertise of the three entities to ensure that Abu Dhabi’s industrial landscape remains safe, resilient, and sustainable. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will identify ways to promote awareness of industrial emergency response, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s commitment to leading innovation in operational safety and emergency management.
As part of ADIO’s efforts to integrate foreign investors into Abu Dhabi’s ecosystem and connect them to growth opportunities, ADIO aims to support the ongoing growth and expansion of Ambipar in the emirate, fostering local partnerships to accelerate the deployment of innovative emergency response and industrial services.
Ambipar’s expertise in decommissioning industrial plants, ships, and floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units is expected to play a crucial role in enabling the emirate to manage critical infrastructure sustainably. Furthermore, the partnership will explore the adoption of advanced technologies to enhance asset inspection and management in industrial facilities. Using remote techniques such as drones and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), Ambipar can provide high-precision inspections that reduce human exposure to risks and improve operational efficiency.
The agreement also establishes a framework to assess the integration of cutting-edge technologies and best practices from the emirate’s emergency response sector. ADCDA will work closely with Ambipar to explore ways to transfer essential knowledge and technologies for handling hazardous materials and emergency response, enhancing the Authority’s operational capabilities.
