Dubai, UAE
Dubai Investments, a prominent UAE-based investment company, has begun the development of Dubai Investments Park Angola (DIP Angola). It is Angola’s first integrated Economic Zone, a sustainable mixed-use project covering 2,000 hectares in the Dande province and 50 kilometres from the capital Luanda. The project provides 70,000 residential units which will accommodate 200,000 residents.
As the inaugural integrated zone in the nation, DIP Angola stands apart from the existing economic zones, which are limited to commercial uses and are still undergoing infrastructure development. DIP Angola combines industrial, commercial, residential, and recreational spaces, creating a holistic urban ecosystem designed to foster innovation, create employment opportunities, and drive sustainable growth.
Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO, Dubai Investments emphasized the transformative potential of DIP Angola and said, “DIP Angola is more than just a development project; it is a strategic initiative aimed at supporting and helping Angola’s economic landscape. By providing advanced infrastructure and a fully integrated environment, Dubai Investments is not only setting new benchmarks for sustainable development in Africa but also creating a strategic hub for various sectors. The Group’s focus on modern amenities, environmental sustainability, and versatile infrastructure ensures that DIP Angola will be a catalyst for long-term economic growth and innovation.”
DIP Angola is meticulously planned to accommodate industries, including residential, manufacturing, logistics, technology, retail, and tourism. The design of the park integrates facilities tailored to the specific needs of each sector, offering ample space for small, medium, and large enterprises. To attract and retain high-quality investments, DIP Angola offers a range of incentives, including tax benefits, preferential leasing terms, and access to advanced infrastructure.
DIP Angola is strategically located approximately 23 kilometres from the seaport, closer than other economic zones. Angola’s free zone, located about four kilometers from DIP Angola, is under construction to build an export port. This proximity enhances DIP Angola’s value proposition, supported by robust road infrastructure that facilitates improved connectivity and logistical efficiency.
