INTERVIEW: Future-proofing facilities management in the Middle East
From predictive analytics to artificial intelligence, digital tools are redefining how facilities management (FM) companies manage buildings and infrastructure. Nowhere is this shift more transformative than in the Middle East, where rapid urban expansion and ambitious sustainability goals are reshaping industry practices. As a premier industry body for the region's FM industry, the Middle East Facility Management Association (MEFMA) is supporting facility management companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in adapting to an increasingly technology-driven sector. Jamal Lootah, President of MEFMA, said the industry must embrace technology and develop new skillsets to remain competitive in an increasingly data-driven environment. 'Technology is the most transformative force shaping the FM industry in the Middle East. To thrive in this new environment, FM professionals and organizations will need to embrace technology and cultivate new skillsets, including data interpretation, sustainability focused operations, and customer-centric service delivery.' According to Lootah, advanced technologies such as data analytics, AI, and machine learning are enabling FM professionals to gain deeper insights into facility behaviour, improving both service delivery and operational efficiency. He added that automation is helping reduce manual, labour-intensive processes, introduce real-time metrics, and raise overall service quality 'As automation becomes more integrated with operational support systems, companies can streamline workflows and reduce inefficiencies,' he said. MEFMA is actively bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical implementation by connecting its members with technology providers, hosting educational programs, and fostering knowledge exchange. Lootah said: 'Our impact is seen through high-profile conferences, webinars, published case studies that share success stories from across the industry, and strategic partnerships. By setting professional standards and connecting decision-makers, practitioners, and policymakers, we help drive the industry toward a more sustainable, tech-enabled future.' He said smaller firms gain the knowledge and support needed to navigate digital transformation and compete more effectively through MEFMA's network, educational programmes, and knowledge-sharing initiatives. Championing sustainability The MEFMA president said sustainability is now a central pillar of FM strategies, with service providers playing a key role in achieving national and organisational ESG goals. 'FM service providers are well-positioned to influence everything from energy use and waste management to indoor environmental quality, making the FM industry a key enabler in achieving the region's broader sustainability ambitions,' Lootah said. He noted that MEFMA also encourages its members to embed sustainability into their operations, positioning the industry as a driver of climate goals and responsible development. The organisation also partners with government stakeholders across the region to co-develop policy frameworks that reflect real-world FM challenges while elevating industry standards. Lootah said engagement with stakeholders is crucial in raising awareness and implementing consistent standards across the region 'Our engagement with government stakeholders helps ensure that policies are aligned with operational realities and global best practices,' he said. 'We support our members in translating policies into action through expert consultations and workshops that help maximise their contributions.' Investment in future talent To address the global talent gap in the FM industry, MEFMA is actively investing in youth engagement to cultivate emerging talent and shape the next generation of industry leaders. 'We offer free student memberships, collaborate with universities, and host youth-focused events that introduce FM as a purpose-driven, future-forward career. By exposing students to real-world applications and creating clear pathways into the profession, we aim to build a resilient and passionate talent pipeline for the industry,' Lootah concluded.

US Investment Bank H.C. Wainwright Reiterates Buy Rating on IHC Portfolio Company, Phoenix Group, with AED 3.00 Target
Phoenix Group PLC (ADX: PHX), an IHC portfolio company and a global leader in blockchain and digital asset infrastructure, has been featured in a new research report from H.C. Wainwright & Co. Independent equity analysts at H.C. Wainwright & Co. have assigned Phoenix Group a Buy rating and AED 3.00 price target, recognizing its evolution beyond mining into high-growth AI and HPC infrastructure. Based on the August 4, 2025, closing price of AED 1.48, the report states an enormous upside potential in excess of 102% for the shares. The positive assessment is underpinned by Phoenix Group's strategic expansion and its forward-looking ambitions in high-growth technology sectors. The report, titled 'Re-Energized Sites and AI/HPC Feasibility Prime Upside; Reit. Buy,' underscores Phoenix Group's strong position for meaningful growth in both the near and long term. The reaffirmed Buy rating is supported by a shift to higher-margin self-mining, expanding operational capacity, and significant digital asset holdings of BTC and Solana in excess of 150 million USD. The analysis highlights Phoenix's diversified strategy, which balances efficient digital asset mining with strategic investment in next-generation sectors such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC). It also notes the company's ability to attract ongoing capital support amid broader industry trends that favour advanced connectivity and compute infrastructure. With new sites expected to come online, Phoenix is well-positioned to meet growing demand for AI workloads and unlock additional revenue streams. Central to this momentum is Phoenix's established partnership with IHC (IHC: ADX), the Abu Dhabi-based diversified investment firm. As a valued IHC portfolio company, Phoenix leverages shared expertise and resources to scale operations and execute on innovative projects, bolstering its resilience in a dynamic market. 'We are delighted that H.C. Wainwright sees the significant value and enormous potential in our strategy,' said Munaf Ali, CEO and Co-founder of Phoenix Group. 'This report validates our team's hard work to expand our core mining operations efficiently while boldly moving into the AI and HPC space. As an IHC portfolio company, we are committed to driving innovation and delivering superior returns for our shareholders, and this report confirms we are on the right path.'
