“We work with GHC (General Holding Co.) and
ADBIC (Abu Dhabi Basic Industries Company)
with regard to the overall strategy, and implement
it from there. We are open to all kinds of industrial
enterprise, as long as it is self-financing and has
a product that is competitive. Whatever is in my
control, I will do to facilitate an investor, particularly
in high end, capital intensive industries that require
less in manpower. Each business has its own
complexities, so we can meet each other, find a
mechanism that works, agree a rental price and start
from there.What we say, we deliver on, because the
success of investors is our success.”

has actually served to benefit the industrial sector in
Abu Dhabi by bringing down prices.
