NWTN to build AI-powered industrial park in Kezad:<\/strong> UAE-based mobility firm NWTN will break ground on an industrial park in Abu Dhabi\u2019s Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad) in 2H 2025, according to a press release<\/a>. The project marks the company\u2019s move beyond EV manufacturing toward a broader intelligent mobility and AI hardware production footprint.<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

The 130k sqm facility will be split across two zones<\/strong>: a Global Logistic Park in the freezone will include vehicle and parts warehouses, re-export operations, and light processing units, while an AI Smart Manufacturing Park in the mainland zone will feature a semi-knocked-down EV assembly plant, smart hardware production lines, and scalable infrastructure for future full-vehicle manufacturing. <\/p>\n

The bigger picture: <\/strong>The project is part of NWTN\u2019s wider push to localize manufacturing, build out autonomous and AI-enabled systems, and develop blockchain-based product platforms. It also plans to use Kezad\u2019s logistics infrastructure to support faster distribution across the GCC, Mena, and Southern Europe. <\/p>\n

More to come?<\/strong> NWTN is currently seeking partnerships with regional tech firms, investors, and distributors to support the buildout, the statement reads.<\/p>\n

ALSO-<\/strong> Ra<\/strong>kez to build a new Industrial City:<\/strong> The Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zones Authority (Rakez) inked a AED 1.1 bn agreement with THI Investments to develop an industrial park for advanced technology firms within the zone, according to a press release<\/a>. The new park \u2014 spanning some 130k sqm \u2014 is forecasted to generate some 2.5k jobs.<\/p>\n

ALSO- Rakez will get a new AED 30 mn luxury vehicle facility:<\/strong> The zone also signed an agreement with Faraday Future Middle East to develop a AED 30 mn luxury vehicle assembly factory in the zone. The facility will span some 10k sqm and create 200 jobs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
