Chief Executive Officer Dr. Jasem Al Mansoori described the launch as "a step toward connecting global technology with local engineering and manufacturing," adding: "We aim to build lasting UAE industrial capabilities in line with Operation 300Bn." The park will support Robo.ai's advanced manufacturing strategy and develop products for local and international markets.

The park is planned in three phases: refurbishment of existing premises, construction of new factory facilities, and reserve space for future expansion. Alif Maritec is expected to be the first project to enter Phase I once refurbishment and operational preparations are complete.

Alif Maritec's focus covers oil spill detection and water-quality verification; land border security combining physical barriers, sensors, and unified command; and AI-enabled defense and intelligent monitoring for critical infrastructure. The facilities will support local manufacturing and equipment-software integration.

ALIF Holding aims for at least three project companies to establish a presence across the industrial park by the end of 2026.
