DIP Angola has reaffirmed its growing strategic presence in the region through active participation in the recent Angola–Saudi Arabia Business Mission held in Riyadh. The mission, organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Angola–Saudi Arabia (CCIAAS), convened senior representatives from both public and private sectors, creating an important platform for DIP Angola to engage with Saudi government entities, investment funds, and leading industrial partners. These discussions deepened bilateral cooperation, identified new investment prospects, and advanced DIP Angola’s vision of becoming a key gateway for Saudi businesses seeking entry into Angola and wider African markets.
Omar Al Mesmar, Board Director of Dubai Investments International Angola LDA, underscored the significance of this initiative: “DIP Angola stands as a pivotal gateway for Saudi investors seeking to capitalize on Africa’s burgeoning markets. DIP Angola is in active discussions with several organisations looking to formalise investments in DIP Angola and will provide a strategic platform for Saudi enterprises to engage in sectors such as agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and logistics, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives to diversify economic partnerships and investments across Africa.”
Situated in Angola’s Dande Province, approximately 50 kilometres from Luanda, DIP Angola spans 2,000 hectares and draws inspiration from the globally acclaimed model of Dubai Investments Park in the UAE. This integrated economic zone is being developed to deliver world-class industrial infrastructure, logistics facilities, and commercial real estate — supported by modern amenities that simplify market entry for international investors. With an increasing number of tenants already onboard, the project reflects strong investor confidence and growing recognition of Angola’s potential as a major industrial destination.
Serving as a regional gateway, DIP Angola offers Saudi investors streamlined access to the Angolan market and beyond. It connects directly to the expanding trade corridors of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Central Africa, enabling Saudi manufacturers and exporters to strengthen bilateral trade links and capitalise on emerging industrial opportunities throughout the continent.
