ACCIONA opened its first Middle East office in Dubai in 2008. Since then, the country has been the center point from which it has developed its business activities throughout the Gulf region and other Arab countries.
ACCIONA has had a strong presence in the Middle East since 2008, with projects in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman. ACCIONA has a commitment to support the GCC with climate change mitigation projects.
It has participated in the development of significant projects such as the extension of the Dubai metro and the construction of the Jebel Ali desalination plant in the United Arab Emirates; the construction and subsequent extension of the Umm Al Houl desalination plant in Qatar; as well as six other reverse osmosis desalination plants and three wastewater treatment plants in Saudi Arabia.
ACCIONA Living and Culture, ACCIONA’s urban development and culture division, also has a strong presence in the GCC. Among other projects, it carried out the museography works for the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, and has worked for the National Museum of Oman, the Dubai Expo 2020 (Sustainability Pavilion, UAE Pavilion, Spain Pavilion, Youth Pavilion, Expo Live Pavilion, 46 Thematic Pavilions and Micro-museums), and the Qasr Al Watan Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi.
At ACCIONA we seek to develop sustainable infrastructures designed to promote the regeneration of the planet and to meet the needs of society. Solutions that respond to the challenges of a development model that is running out of steam, and that will make a better future possible.
