The move builds on the organisation's experience managing real estate developments, including the established strengths in Environment, Energy, Technology, and Healthcare, reinforcing its commitment to shaping future-ready cities and enhancing quality of life for societies.

With over a decade of multi-faceted experience developing projects, BEEAH is uniquely positioned in the real estate industry, from building the iconic BEEAH Headquarters designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects and building sustainable, industrial projects, to its latest work on the upcoming Jawaher Boston Medical District designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW).

In the weeks ahead, BEEAH will unveil a landmark development set to redefine the future of real estate in the region with smart sustainable design and a new standard for modern urban living.
In the Environment sector, BEEAH continues to lead the region in waste-to-value solutions and pursue total landfill diversion. Building on its pioneering waste collection services that have set benchmarks for operational excellence and integrated recycling innovations with AI and robotics, BEEAH has developed an end-to-end waste management ecosystem that has contributed to achieving one of the world's highest landfill diversion rates in the emirate of Sharjah – over 90%. The organisation's excellence in waste management has also fuelled its expansion to Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where they are helping shape cleaner and more circular cities. Going beyond its own operations in the region, BEEAH continues to launch educational initiatives and awards to engage student communities and societies to be environmentally responsible. For industries, BEEAH is also advancing environmental consulting services to tackle the challenges of waste and emissions.
As part of the Energy sector, BEEAH is at the forefront of waste-to-energy, hydrogen-from-waste, and solar technologies. Its Sharjah Waste-to-Energy plant, inaugurated in 2022, transforms hard-to-recycle waste into clean energy and is currently expanding to double its capacity. Its upcoming Hydrogen-from-Waste project has demonstrated breakthroughs for hydrogen production during initial trials in Nottingham, UK. BEEAH is also advancing solar projects in line with net-zero strategies.
In the Technology sector, BEEAH is driving digital transformation through several key ventures. re.life, its digital ecosystem venture, has developed platforms that are disrupting the recycling, logistics, and moving industries. Its digital venture EVOTEQ is also transforming supply chain integrity through its 'traq' platform. Within green mobility, BEEAH's ION joint venture with Crescent Enterprises is transforming EV charging by connecting charger owners and users through a singular platform. BEEAH is also building Sharjah's first Tier III data center around groundbreaking principles of sustainability through its Khazna Sharjah partnership.
Within the Healthcare sector, BEEAH's efforts reflect a deepening commitment to enhancing quality of life for all societies. Its upcoming Jawaher Boston Medical District (JBMD) project is a hospital of the future built in strategic partnership with renowned medical institutions from Boston, United States. The patient-centric campus will combine state-of-the-art treatments with sustainable design and serene green spaces to promote holistic wellbeing. Complementing the project is Wekaya, a BEEAH venture that delivers innovative circular solutions for medical waste, and 'traqpharma', a technology built on EVOTEQ's 'traq' platform, which is enhancing pharmaceutical supply chain integrity across the UAE.

Dubai Municipality hosts third Dubai Food Safety Forum
Dubai Municipality hosted the third edition of the Dubai Food Safety Forum in conjunction with World Food Safety Day, observed this year under the theme 'Food Safety: Prepare for the Unexpected.' The event brought together representatives from the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), and key players from public and private sector organisations as well as academic institutions. The Forum explored strategic themes focused on the role of science in food safety policymaking and risk management. Discussions addressed how science-based surveillance systems can improve food supply chain resilience, while enabling consumers to make informed and sustainable choices. The event reflects Dubai Municipality's continued efforts to promote a safe, integrated food system that contributes to public health and long-term food security. Eng. Marwan Ahmed Bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality, stated: 'At Dubai Municipality, we believe that food safety starts with knowledge — understanding the challenges and pursuing excellence-driven solutions that translate into tangible actions. The Dubai Food Safety Forum serves as a vital scientific platform that enables us to anticipate the future of food and build a smart, safe food system that supports community health, enhances quality of life, and ensures resource sustainability.' He added: 'We are committed to building a sustainable food ecosystem in line with the highest global standards — one that ensures the best quality of life for Dubai's residents and is built on innovation, scientific research, best practices, and active partnerships across the public and private sectors.' Mohamed Saeed Al Nuaimi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, stated: 'Third Food Safety Symposium in Dubai comes at a time when global food supply chains become more complex and challenging. This forum is a platform for exchanging scientific knowledge, best practices, and regulatory insights among key stakeholders at the local and international levels. Marking the World Food Safety Day under the theme 'Food Safety: Science in Action,' the event highlights the UAE's science-based approach to safeguard public health, improve community welfare, and build robust food systems.' He added: 'The UAE has placed food safety at the core of its national priorities and as a key pillar of the National Food Security Strategy 2051. Through strong partnerships across regulatory bodies, academic institutions, and the private sector, the Ministry is advancing a fully integrated food safety system. This includes digital transformation efforts, risk assessment capabilities, and national initiatives such as the 'ZAD' unified food trade portal and the Biosecurity Early Notification System. These systems contribute to maintaining high food safety standards enabling seamless food trade across the country's borders.' Al Nuaimi continued: 'Today, the UAE stands as a global leader in building a robust legislative and regulatory framework for food safety. In partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we are currently developing a new strategic index to assess national food control systems based on the latest scientific benchmarks. These efforts reflect our commitment to protecting human health, boosting economic competitiveness, and attracting investments in agri-food innovation — all while ensuring sustainable food systems for future generations.' Dr Ahmed Mokhtar, Acting Regional Programme Leader and Senior Economist at FAO's Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa, commended the UAE's scientific and governance-based approach to food safety. Dr Mokhtar said: 'The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that foodborne illnesses affect nearly 600 million people each year, causing economic losses of more than USD 110 billion in low- and middle-income countries. On World Food Safety Day, FAO affirms that science is the cornerstone of sound decision-making in food safety. It guides risk assessment and helps shape policies and standards that protect public health and build trust in food systems.' During the Forum, Dubai Municipality announced that registration is now open for the 19th edition of the Dubai International Food Safety Conference, which will be held from 17 to 19 November 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Organised in collaboration with FAO, the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), and the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), the event is the largest food safety platform of its kind in the region. It is expected to welcome more than 3,000 participants from across the globe, including international experts, researchers, academic institutions, regulatory authorities, and private sector leaders.
