Seamless, zero-interaction parking experience
The partnership introduces a ticketless, barrier-free parking system that eliminates the need for manual inspection. Utilising Parkonic's advanced AI-driven software platform and seamlessly integrated with Salik's payment infrastructure, the solution delivers a frictionless entry and exit experience with instant, cashless payments.
'This partnership is a milestone for urban mobility in Dubai,' said Imad Alameddine, CEO of Parkonic. 'Together with Salik and Dubai Holding, we are building a future where parking is seamless, intelligent, and user-centric. Dubai Holding's trust in Parkonic reflects our commitment to innovation. This collaboration goes beyond parking—it's about enabling AI-driven services, autonomous vehicles, and a fully integrated mobility ecosystem.'
Supporting sustainability and smart mobility goals
Beyond convenience, the project is designed to support Dubai's Net Zero goals by reducing congestion and cutting carbon emissions. The smart infrastructure will allow real-time monitoring and improved traffic flow, eliminating overstays and unnecessary fines through automatic detection and billing systems.
The technology will also feature multilingual user interfaces and will be operated without any need for manual intervention, making it accessible and efficient for all users.
'This strategic alliance is not just about infrastructure,' said a joint statement from the partners. 'It's about redefining the user experience and setting a new standard in urban design and smart mobility.'

Board approves interim dividend of $1.792 billion, a 5% increase YoY, to be distributed in September ADNOC Gas on track for entry into FTSE Index in September 2025 Abu Dhabi, UAE: ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'ADNOC Gas' or the 'Company') (ADX symbol: ADNOCGAS / ISIN: AEE01195A234), a world-class integrated gas processing and sales company, today announced Q2 2025 results, with net income rising by 16% year-on-year (YoY) to a record $1.385 billion and EBITDA increasing by 8% YoY to $2.256 billion. Q2 2025 saw a strong performance across ADNOC Gas' product portfolio, especially in the local gas market. The Company serves local customers under long-term contracts with competitive prices and improved underlying margins. ADNOC Gas also capitalized on opportunities to sell additional volumes at favourable prices, in the local gas market and in the export market as Liquified Natural Gas (LNG). The Q2 results show that the Company's product portfolio is resilient to oil price volatility. The Board of Directors approved an interim dividend of $1.792 billion, up 5% YoY, scheduled for distribution in September. Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas, said: 'We are pleased to report the highest quarterly net income in ADNOC Gas' history, fueled by our strong local market business and improved operational efficiency. This performance shows that we are well on our way to achieving our ambition of over 40% EBITDA growth between 2023 and 2029*, as outlined in our strategy update last November. With healthy cashflows and robust margins, we remain well-positioned for long-term growth, and our resilient business model continues to deliver strong returns.' In the first half of 2025, ADNOC Gas increased Capex by 49% YoY. The Company made significant progress with its strategic initiatives, including the $5 billion Final Investment Decision on the first phase of its Rich Gas Development project (RGD), which takes the committed Capex to $20 billion. In the near and medium term, the Company expects to deliver the Integrated Gas Development Expansion – Phase 2 (IGDE-2), Maximizing Ethane Recovery and Monetization (MERAM), and to take the investment decision on the remaining two phases of the RGD project. Furthermore, ADNOC Gas is progressing other growth projects, like the Ruwais LNG project to capture an increasing share of the LNG market. LNG is a valuable and growing part of the Company's product portfolio. Overall, the growth projects will further strengthen ADNOC Gas' product portfolio allowing for additional revenue streams and improved margins. Following its inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in June 2025, ADNOC Gas experienced a significant net capital inflow of approximately $500 million. The Company is now on course to join the FTSE Index in September 2025, with market estimates of added inflows of over $200 million, further elevating its global investment profile and diversifying its investor base, thereby significantly enhancing liquidity and trading volumes.
