The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has partnered with renowned actor and humanitarian Idris Elba to leverage the emirate’s vision for a secure and sustainable food and water future.

This partnership will capitalise on the emirate’s emergence as a global pioneer in food production and water treatment, powered by sustainable technology solutions.

The agreement comes after the launch of Mohamed Bin Zayed Water Initiative to confront the urgent challenge of water scarcity around the world. With the aim of accelerating their development and implementation, the newly announced alliance with Elba, through his impact investment company The Akuna Group (TAG), will showcase Abu Dhabi’s leading initiatives in the fields of novel food development, agricultural transformation, and water treatment and technology.

 Abu Dhabi is aiming to pioneer cultivation of onshore high value add microalgae, offshore farming of key fish stocks, and innovate reverse osmosis water treatment.

TAG is dedicated to nurturing the growth of African industries and entrepreneurship, through strategic multi-sectoral partnerships, impact investments, innovative technologies, and high-level advisory services across and beyond the continent.
