Masdar Institution

Established in 2006, Masdar, or Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, is a global leader in renewable energy and sustainable urban development. Masdar means ‘source’ in Arabic.

Our mandate is to help maintain the leadership of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the global energy sector, while supporting the diversification of both its economy and energy sources for the benefit of future generations.

At Masdar, we develop commercially viable renewable energy projects in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and international markets. We advance innovation in clean technologies. We are building the world’s most sustainable city. We also deliver knowledge and industry platforms to stimulate further growth in the wider renewable energy and clean-tech industry, creating new revenue streams for the UAE over the long term.

Wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government’s Mubadala Investment Company, Masdar is supporting the UAE’s transition towards a knowledge-based economy. A catalyst for renewable energy development in the Arab world over the last decade, Masdar is demonstrating how the business community can deliver on the global sustainability agenda.
