DP World has announced a significant global investment of $2.5 billion in 2025, aimed at developing integrated logistics infrastructure across key regions. This ambitious expansion is already generating a wave of employment opportunities, with around 5,000 new construction jobs currently being created in five different countries.

The company’s wide-reaching projects include:

• India, where approximately 2,000 jobs are being generated through the construction of a new terminal in Tuna Tekra, and another 500 jobs are linked to the development of new rail and inland facilities.

• Senegal, which is witnessing the development of an entirely new deep-water port in Ndayane, supporting the creation of around 600 jobs.

• The Democratic Republic of the Congo, where about 500 people are being employed to build the country’s first-ever deep-sea port in the coastal city of Banana.

• The United Kingdom, where the ongoing expansion of London Gateway, including two additional berths and a second rail terminal, is expected to create 1,000 new jobs and position the port as the UK’s largest by the end of the decade.

• Ecuador, where the expansion of DP World’s Posorja facility is supporting more than 300 construction roles, in addition to over 100 new direct operational jobs.

These infrastructure projects not only provide short-term employment but are also expected to sustain thousands of additional jobs—both direct and indirect—once fully operational. They aim to enhance trade connectivity and boost long-term economic development in their respective regions.

Back home in Dubai, the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) continues to be one of the company’s most impactful hubs, directly employing around 160,000 people. This strategic zone remains a key pillar in supporting global trade and serves as a powerful engine for job creation and economic diversification in the UAE.

Speaking about the company’s global vision, DP World’s Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, emphasized the power of trade to transform lives. He noted that the new job opportunities are just one way the company is delivering tangible benefits to communities around the world. Upon completion, the infrastructure being built today will serve generations to come—improving logistics and connectivity for the next 50 years.

DP World’s 2025 investment plan is a clear demonstration of its commitment to building sustainable, resilient supply chains while making a meaningful difference in people’s lives through job creation and economic empowerment.
