Masdar

Masdar is advancing the development, commercialisation and deployment of renewable energy and clean technologies – as a link between today’s fossil fuel economy and the energy economy of the future. The Mubadala Development Company, which is owned by the Abu Dhabi government, established Masdar as a wholly owned subsidiary in 2006. Masdar is guided by The Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, a programme that drives new sources of income for the emirate and strengthens its knowledge-based economic sectors. Masdar takes a holistic approach to its organisation, with interconnected businesses focusing on Clean Energy Deployment and Sustainable Real Estate.

Masdar Institute, an independent, research-driven graduate university, rounds out the organisation. With each unit focused on a key component of the value chain, Masdar operates with the broad scope needed to meet the most pressing sustainability challenges of tomorrow.

This keeps Masdar at the global forefront of the clean energy industry as we pursue pioneering and commercially viable technologies and systems.
