The Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), has successfully integrated its systems to streamline the licensing and classification of engineering firms.
This integration enables professionals to work seamlessly across the emirate, simplifying processes and enhancing operational efficiency.
Previously, ADGM-registered organizations and individuals, encompassing Al Reem Island and Al Maryah Island, served under separate regulatory frameworks as DMT only classified firms operating with an Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development-issued license.
Under the new system, applications from ADGM-licensed companies can now be processed through the TAMM platform, applying the same rigorous classification and registration standards used across the emirate.
The updated DMT Classification and Engineering Professions System now allows firms licensed within the free zone to collaborate with mainland-registered engineers.

“The creation of a consolidated framework allows for more collaboration that effectively accelerates construction across Abu Dhabi. Real estate developers and property owners will also have a greater choice when it comes to hiring architects, project leads, and contractors, which enhances competitiveness and fosters innovation in the emirate’s economy. This integration reflects our commitment to future-ready governance that empowers businesses and positions Abu Dhabi as a model for regulatory excellence.”
His Excellency Rashed Al Blooshi, CEO of ADGM’s Registration Authority, said that, “This integration reflects ADGM’s strong alignment and close cooperation with the Department of Municipalities and Transport to deliver a more unified and efficient regulatory environment across Abu Dhabi.”
“By enabling engineering firms and professionals registered in ADGM to operate seamlessly across the emirate, we are supporting greater market competitiveness and contributing to the continued sustainable growth of the construction and infrastructure sectors across Abu Dhabi,” Al Blooshi added.
