The project forms part of Abu Dhabi's ambitious programme to modernise educational infrastructure and provide high-quality learning environments for future generations.
The award recognises both the successful delivery of a major education project and the effectiveness of the public-private partnership (PPP) model. By bringing together public and private sector expertise, the project creates long-term value through an integrated approach encompassing design, construction, financing and lifecycle management.

The award comes as demand for high-quality social infrastructure continues to grow across the Gulf region. Governments are increasingly turning to PPP models to deliver schools, student accommodation, water and waste projects, and other essential infrastructure while ensuring long-term performance and value for communities.
Over the years, BESIX has established itself as a leading PPP player through projects spanning education, healthcare, transportation and public infrastructure. By combining technical expertise, financial know-how and long-term asset management capabilities, the Group delivers sustainable infrastructure solutions that create lasting value for public authorities and end users alike.
The recognition highlights the impact of the Khalifa City School PPP, following the Zayed City Schools PPP, and the strength of the partnership behind it. It also reinforces BESIX's position as a trusted partner for public authorities seeking sustainable, innovative and high-performing infrastructure solutions.
The Infra Global Awards are among the infrastructure sector's leading international distinctions, celebrating excellence in infrastructure development and project finance worldwide.
