Block 7 has announced it has selected consultant De Leeuw International an ADGM company to deliver an inspirational ecosystem that will foster innovation and support global innovators.

De Leeuw’s highly experienced team are committed to providing Project and Cost Management Services to enable the achievement of Block 7’s strategic vision.”
The foundation of Block 7’s Innovation Hub will provide an unparalleled platform for innovators, academics, researchers, and students, all of whom will seek out novel applications of contemporary technologies and discover innovation with industry-leading solutions.
Located in the heart of ICAD at the intersection of major transportation corridors E11 & E30, the Innovation Hub directly feeds into the area’s transportation corridors, which are connected to millions of Arab youths in the UAE and beyond.
The project’s infrastructure, which is scheduled to be completed by Q1 2023, is being developed according to world-class standards. Once completed, Block 7 will feature a myriad of co-working spaces, academic institutions, laboratories, research centres, high-end residential community, hotels, retail facilities, E-arena and a digital theme park. The hub will also adopt a unique approach to design that utilises modular system and adheres to best sustainability practices within its smart infrastructure.
