VOICE FROM THE TOP
As Dubai Investments steps confidently into its fourth decade, the Group is transforming past achievements into platforms for future growth and innovation. The remarkable success of Dubai Investments Park has not only created a model for integrated development but also opened new avenues for value creation, with a potential 24% IPO—demonstrating the Group’s continued focus on delivering sustainable shareholder returns.
This momentum naturally extends to the Group’s international strategy. The DIP Angola project represents a carefully considered expansion into high-growth markets, demonstrating Dubai Investments’ ability to translate local expertise into global impact.

Building on the longstanding success of Emirates Float Glass, the development of a second production line strengthens high-performance manufacturing capacity, ensuring Dubai Investments can deliver cutting-edge solutions across its industrial and construction portfolio.
Across all sectors—from real estate and healthcare to education and the manufacturing sector—Dubai Investments is guided by rigorous market research, strategic foresight, and a focus on emerging opportunities. This integrated approach ensures the Group not only sustains its growth trajectory but also creates long-term value, reinforcing its position as a diversified, future-ready investment powerhouse.

A heartfelt note from those who have been part of DI’s incredible journey
Reflecting on my 20 years with Dubai Investments, I was entrusted early on with responsibilities that allowed me to make an impact across multiple sectors. Working across the company’s diverse businesses has given me the opportunity to contribute to meaningful outcomes and support sustained growth. Today, leading the real estate arm enables me to further develop a sector that has become one of the key pillars of the company’s success. As we celebrate 30 years of Dubai Investments, I am proud of what we have achieved and excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to build on this legacy
Obaid Salami
General Manager, Dubai Investment Real Estate
Two decades, countless milestones — Dubai Investments Park has been the perfect place to grow with purpose. Every step of the way, DIP has provided opportunities to learn, connect, and succeed. The journey has been extraordinary, and the future looks even brighter.
Ammar AL Duwaikh
Deputy GM, Commercial, DIP
I began my journey with Dubai Investments Park in 2005, at a time when much of the area was still untouched — vast stretches of desert, dunes, and remote terrain with limited access. It is important to remember that the success and growth of DIP as we know it today was not the result of individual effort alone. During those formative years, there was a strong spirit of collaboration across all levels of the organization. Top management worked hand-in-hand with employees from every department, aligning their goals, sharing responsibilities, and overcoming challenges together. This unified commitment and teamwork played a crucial role in shaping DIP’s identity and accomplishments. Two decades later, DIP has transformed into a thriving, fully developed community that reflects Dubai Investments’ vision of a dynamic, mixed-use destination. As we mark 30 years of Dubai Investments, I reflect with gratitude on the journey so far and look forward with renewed energy — proud to uphold the values that continue to drive our success.
Saeed Bugaraah
Deputy GM, Operations, DIP
Over the past 20 years with Dubai Investments, I have witnessed firsthand the power of vision, perseverance, and teamwork. Each challenge has been a stepping stone, each success a collective achievement. As we celebrate 30 years, I feel privileged to continue contributing to this remarkable journey.
Firas Salamah
Senior Projects Manager, EBS
