The UAE’s National Railway Programme is expected to generate over AED 200 billion in economic and developmental benefits.
That’s according to Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, speaking ahead of the Global Rail 2025 Exhibition and Conference, taking place in Abu Dhabi from September 20 to October 2.
Launched in 2021 with AED 50 billion in investments, the programme is the largest system of its kind ever developed in the country.
Al Mazrouei says it’s not just about infrastructure, but a national vision aligned with the UAE Centennial 2071, aiming to cut carbon emissions, improve road safety and enhance quality of life.
He highlighted the UAE’s commitment to smart mobility, including autonomous transport and advanced regulatory frameworks, positioning the nation as a global leader in sustainable transport innovation.
The Global Rail 2025 event will be a key platform for international collaboration and future-focused dialogue, reinforcing the UAE’s role in shaping the future of mobility.
