Sustainability Forum Middle East to launch fourth edition in the Kingdom of Bahrain
Sustainability Forum Middle East announced that it will launch its fourth edition on January 27–28, 2026, at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Kingdom of Bahrain, focusing on 'Advancing Alignment, Innovation, and Implementation for Energy and Climate Transformation.' The Forum will be held in the presence of H.E. Dr. Mohamed bin Mubarak Bin Daina, Minister of Oil and Environment, Special Envoy for Climate Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and with the support of the Supreme Council for Environment. The Forum expects another year of strong attendance and high-level engagement from over 400 senior business leaders and regional and international sustainability experts, with the two-day event featuring a world-class programme of keynotes, fireside chats, and interactive panel discussions covering topics essential to achieving the region's climate and net-zero ambitions, alongside a lineup of more than 50 expert speakers from MENA, Asia, Europe, and North and South America will share insights, strategies, and solutions on how to shape a sustainable climate economy through cooperation, mobilization, and innovation. Key themes will include strategies for aligning business models with climate action, aligning ambition and action across regional states, scaling financing for critical climate- and nature-positive initiatives, advancing policy and regulatory frameworks, human capital and capacity building, fostering innovation and accelerating technological advancements, and the role of women in climate, among others. Training and skills development will also continue as a key pillar of the Forum, with day two dedicated to human capital development. In partnership with leading global and regional consulting and advisory firms with strong ESG and climate practices, the Forum will offer practical learning workshops aimed at advancing understanding and skills to move sustainability and climate more effectively up the agenda of private and public organisations and helping them develop real capacity to act. Registration is now open for the Forum's fourth edition, which presents a valuable opportunity for participants to build partnerships with sector leaders from around the world and benefit from practical workshops designed to develop skills in sustainability, energy, and climate-related fields — supporting their readiness to contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Commenting, Ms. Laila Danesh, Managing Director at FinMark Communications, the Forum's founder and organiser, said, 'We are delighted to announce the Forum's fourth edition, which will again bring together an outstanding lineup of speakers, partners, and attendees.

AMEA Power joins Phase II of $291m Morocco desalination project
Dubai-based AMEA Power has announced its entry into the second phase of the Agadir desalination project in Morocco. The facility will be powered by its 150MW wind project in Laayoune, which is being co-developed with Cox. One of the fastest growing renewable energy companies in the region, AMEA Power boasts a clean energy pipeline of over 6GW across 20 countries. The first phase of the project was developed by Cox, a global leader in water and energy management, while the second phase will be delivered through a joint venture, with AMEA Power joining the project and supplying renewable energy through its co-developed wind farm. Once operational, it will become the company's first water desalination plant in Africa, said the company in a statement. This project is the first to be executed under the strategic joint venture agreement signed in May between AMEA Power and Cox. It reflects the shared ambition of both companies to deliver integrated infrastructure projects where access to water and energy are deeply interconnected. Upon completion of the expansion, the Agadir desalination plant will reach a total capacity of 400,000 cu m/day, making it one of the largest desalination facilities in Africa. The total investment for the second phase of the desalination project and the associated wind power facility is expected to exceed €250 million ($291 million). The desalination expansion is expected to be operational between 2026 and 2027, with the wind farm coming online in 2027. AMEA Chairman Power Hussain Al Nowais said: "Our entry into the second phase of the Agadir desalination project in Morocco, under the Water Alliance Ventures platform, reflects AMEA Power's ambition to address both water and energy challenges through integrated solutions." "This project is not only our first entry into the water sector in Africa – it is also a powerful example of what long-term partnerships can achieve for sustainable development across the region," noted Al Nowais. The project also reaffirms AMEA Power's commitment to Morocco, a core market in the company's long-term strategy. With several clean energy projects already under development, he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Naba Alsaha and Strataphy Partner to Launch One of Saudi Arabia's First Geothermal-Cooled Hospitals
In a pioneering step for sustainable healthcare infrastructure, Naba Alsaha Hospital, a leading Saudi healthcare group, has partnered with clean cooling innovator Strataphy to deploy advanced, subsurface-powered cooling systems for its new hospital complex in Riyadh, currently under construction. 'This project highlights how geothermal technology can meet the strict reliability and operational demands of the healthcare sector,' said Ahmed Alhani, COO of Strataphy. 'Hospitals require uninterrupted cooling performance around the clock. With our CAS model and subsurface technology, we're able to deliver that performance while significantly reducing grid impact and carbon emissions.' Saudi Arabia has more than 2,300 healthcare facilities across the Kingdom. With each facility requiring on average 1.5 megawatts-thermal (MW-th) of cooling capacity, the national healthcare sector represents a total thermal demand of approximately 3.45 gigawatts-thermal (GW-th). This places immense strain on the power grid and creates a clear opportunity for cleaner, more efficient solutions. At the heart of the system is Strataphy's PrimeLoop—a patent-pending geothermal hybrid architecture that uses subsurface temperatures to deliver continuous and efficient building cooling. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, which rely on electricity-intensive compressors and degrade in performance during high ambient temperatures, PrimeLoop operates silently and consistently, delivering a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 5, more than double that of conventional methods. The solution is offered through Strataphy's Cooling as a Service (CAS) model—turning cooling from a costly CapEx decision into a monthly operating service. Strataphy handles design, drilling, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance, with clients only paying for actual cooling used. This removes technical and financial risk while improving ESG outcomes. 'As demand for high-performance medical infrastructure grows, we're proud to be among the first hospitals in the Kingdom to adopt this innovative, sustainable approach,' said Nayef Al-Jishi, Business Development Manager at Naba Alsaha Hospital. 'For us, it's about delivering long-term value to patients, operators, and the national grid. This partnership with Strataphy reinforces our commitment to future-ready, resilient, and environmentally aligned healthcare facilities.' 'This collaboration reflects a broader transformation underway across the Kingdom,' concluded Ammar Alali, CEO of Strataphy. 'The healthcare sector—with its 24/7 operational needs—is ideally suited to lead the geothermal cooling transition. We're proud to help power that shift and demonstrate how clean infrastructure can meet both performance and sustainability goals.'
