Websites for companies in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi
Masdar City is built around sustainability and research, so readers of a company site there expect every technical or green claim to come with evidence.

Masdar City is a sustainable urban community in Abu Dhabi, initiated in 2006 and built by a Mubadala subsidiary, whose free zone hosts energy, life-sciences and technology organisations. A company website there should explain technical work plainly, back every sustainability claim with dated evidence and work in English and Arabic. Tooba Web builds these sites remotely from Istanbul.

What is Masdar City?
Masdar City is a planned community in Abu Dhabi that combines homes, offices, research institutions and a business free zone. According to Wikipedia it was initiated in 2006 and covers 6 km2. Construction began in February 2008, and the first six buildings were occupied in October 2010. Masdar City's own site says it is a subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company.
The same site describes Masdar City Square as a cluster of seven commercial buildings with a gross floor area of 50,000 square metres. It also lists food, retail, parks and education alongside the free zone.
Which organisations and clusters are in the free zone?
The free zone is organised into clusters, and energy, life sciences and mobility are named most often. The examples below come from Masdar City's websites and Wikipedia; Tooba Web has no connection with any of them.
- Energy: Masdar and Siemens Energy
- Life sciences: Insilico Medicine, M42, Oxford Nanopore and others
- Mobility and agri-food: the SAVI and AGWA clusters, which the free zone says are located in Masdar City
- Institutions: the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency, plus MBZUAI, the UAE Space Agency and Khalifa University, according to Wikipedia
Who oversees a Masdar City Free Zone company?
The free zone says several authorities oversee its framework, and the one that matters depends on your activity. It also says that, through a partnership, companies can opt to be governed by ADGM's common law framework, and it publishes 2026 editions of its licensing, company registration and employment regulations.
| Activity | Authority named by the free zone |
|---|---|
| Investment support | Abu Dhabi Investment Office |
| Space technology | UAE Space Agency |
| Life sciences | Department of Health - Abu Dhabi |
Licensing and regulatory wording is for the free zone to confirm. Please check what applies to your activity with the free zone or a lawyer before publishing it.
How should a site handle technical and sustainability claims?
Publish a claim only if you can show the data, the date and the method behind it. Masdar City publishes efficiency figures for its own buildings, and a tenant should not borrow those numbers for its products. Evidence on your page, with a link to the study or certificate, protects credibility.
We give each technology or service its own page: a plain-language summary first, technical detail below, documents to download at the end. That layout also suits AI-search tools, which favour short self-contained answers (see AI-search optimisation). Health-related companies should check advertising and licensing rules with the relevant authority; the free zone names the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi as a regulator for its life sciences cluster.
Who reads a Masdar City company's website?
Expect specialists: partners and investors abroad, researchers, prospective hires and procurement teams. They are likely to read on a desktop as well as a phone, to download papers, and to check a company's registration before replying.
So we keep pages light, give every document a stable address and put the company's legal name, location and contact route in plain view. Arabic pages are worth adding for government-facing work, and an English-only start leaves room for them later without a redesign.
How does remote delivery from Istanbul work for a Masdar City company?
We work as an outside web team that you brief once and then review in stages. Tooba Web is a brand of Tuba Yazılım in Istanbul, with no office, staff or Google Business Profile in the UAE. Istanbul is UTC+3 and Abu Dhabi UTC+4, so video calls land within normal hours for both.
Scientists and engineers can return revision notes as marked-up documents or WhatsApp messages (+90 216 393 10 07). We confirm each change in writing before the next draft, and payment is by invoice and bank transfer. Typical work: design, development and custom dashboards.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Masdar City Free Zone?
It is the business free zone at the core of Masdar City, a community in Abu Dhabi that its owner describes as a sustainable urban community and technology hub. The free zone issues its own licences and publishes its own regulations. For specifics on your activity, ask the free zone directly or consult a lawyer.
Who regulates life sciences and space companies in Masdar City?
The free zone's legal page names the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi for its life sciences cluster and the UAE Space Agency for space technology. Rules differ by activity and change over time, so confirm with those authorities or a lawyer before publishing claims about products, trials or services.
How should we present energy-saving or green claims?
Only publish a claim you can document. State the figure, the date, the method and a link to the report or certificate, and never reuse the landlord's or a partner's numbers as your own. We design the pages so evidence sits beside each claim, but the content must come from you.
Do you have an office in Masdar City?
No. Tooba Web is a brand of Tuba Yazılım in Istanbul and works remotely. We have no office, staff, address or Google Business Profile in Masdar City or anywhere in the UAE, and we have no relationship with Masdar, Mubadala or any organisation in the free zone. Work is done online.
Can you build a data dashboard for a technology company?
Yes. Custom web applications and dashboards are part of our work, for instance a results viewer or an internal reporting screen, scoped in writing first. We do not build online shops, mobile apps or cloud infrastructure projects such as Kubernetes clusters, and sensitive research data should stay on systems your team controls.
