Launched by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) and Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) in October 2023, Abu Dhabi’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industry (SAVI) cluster is a hub for smart mobility in the MENA region, positioning Abu Dhabi as a global leader that is revolutionising mobility across air, land and sea.
SAVI supports innovation and the commercialisation of smart and autonomous vehicle technologies in the UAE, unlocking their global potential by providing state-of-the-art facilities and value-added services within an enabling regulatory environment. At SAVI, we bring together all relevant stakeholders to advance the development of the value chain, attract companies from around the world, and enable access to funding and investments. We facilitate and fund innovation, streamline regulatory services, and accelerate the adoption of future urban and mobility services across air, land and sea.
Located in Abu Dhabi’s Masdar City, a sustainable development pioneer and a hub for research and development, the SAVI cluster houses academia, test zones, R&D labs, testing and certification facilities, large-scale workshops, hangars and manufacturing facilities, connected through Abu Dhabi’s global logistics network.
SAVI cluster is expected to contribute AED 90 – AED 120 billion to the UAE economy and generate 30,000 – 50,000 jobs.
