Dubai Investments Park Angola

DIP Angola is the first integrated mixed-use urban project in Africa, developed by Dubai Investments. Covering about 2,000 hectares in Barra do Dande (Bengo), the park will include modern industries, office spaces, shopping, housing for up to 200,000 residents, and leisure facilities:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

It will create an estimated 140,000 jobs over time, positioning Angola as a hub for innovation and sustainable growth:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.

The project is located in the Free Zone of Barra do Dande, about 50 km north of Luanda. With 3 km of Atlantic coastline and 2 km of sandy beach, it blends natural beauty with urban design:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

Its proximity to Luanda and easy access via the EN-100 highway make it a strategic gateway for trade and tourism in Southern Africa.

DIP Angola is unfolding in three phases. Phase 1 began in June 2024, with works on infrastructure, an international golf course, a resort by the beach, and the first industrial lots and factories (aluminium, glass, steel):contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.

Dubai Investments has committed up to USD 1 billion over the project’s lifetime, in partnership with the Angolan government:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

• Industrial hub: state-of-the-art factories and warehouses
• Business & commercial zones: offices, shopping malls, services
• Residential areas: from beachfront villas to affordable housing
• Leisure: golf, resort hotels, cultural spaces, sports facilities
• Green infrastructure: solar power, water recycling, modern waste treatment

DIP Angola is expected to diversify the economy, reduce dependency on oil, and boost exports to Southern Africa. It brings jobs, knowledge transfer, and global visibility, showcasing Angola as a modern, forward-looking nation:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

Some already call it “the new Dubai of Africa”, though adapted to Angolan identity. What matters is the symbol: Angola is open for global business.
