Mohammed bin Rashid honours winners of fourth Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, honoured the winners of the fourth Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award. The ceremony, at Emirates Towers in Dubai, was attended by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai. Overseen by the UAE Water Aid Foundation (Suqia UAE), the award is organised under the umbrella of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives. In the fourth event, 12 winners from eight countries were recognised, with total prize of $1 million. The award features four main categories: Innovative Projects, Innovative Research and Development, Innovative Individual, and Innovative Crisis Solutions. On this occasion, Sheikh Mohammed said the UAE remains committed to expanding its humanitarian impact and leveraging innovation to improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world. He said: 'Humanity today faces numerous challenges, and the scarcity of clean water is among the most pressing. We are committed to driving innovation to deliver sustainable solutions that advance the UAE's vision of harnessing technology to serve humanity and extend support to communities suffering from water scarcity. 'We take pride in the contributions of our institutions in this vital field, and we will continue to support every project, idea or innovation that makes a real difference in people's lives. Our message is humanitarian, our tools are knowledge and innovation, and our goal is to ensure the UAE's support reaches those who need it most, wherever they are.' In his speech during the honouring ceremony, Saeed Al Tayer, chairman of the board of trustees of Suqia UAE, expressed his gratitude to Sheikh Mohammed for honouring the winners of the fourth awards and for his continued support for humanitarian and development efforts. Mr Al Tayer affirmed the award reflects Sheikh Mohammed's vision of fostering practical, forward-thinking solutions that address critical global needs. He said that it also highlights the UAE's and Dubai's unwavering commitment to contributing to global efforts to combat water scarcity, one of the most pressing challenges facing communities worldwide. According to UN reports, 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Unicef also highlights that more than 1,000 children under the age of five die each day from diseases linked to inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene. Many communities around the world continue to face severe shortages of clean water. 'As Suqia UAE marks its 10th anniversary, it has successfully implemented over 1,000 sustainable water projects in collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent and other partners, positively impacting the lives of around 15 million people across 37 countries," said Mr Al Tayer. "These efforts have demonstrated that innovative solutions are key to addressing the global water crisis. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award - named after an inspirational leader and beacon of hope - serves as a global platform that reinforces the UAE's pioneering role in humanitarian work, grounded in the noble values instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. "This legacy continues under the leadership of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who said that 'The UAE remains dedicated to supporting hope and inspiring initiatives, serving as a champion of optimism in the Arab world',' said Al Tayer. "Guided by the vision and directives of Sheikh Mohammed, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award has become a focal point for companies, research centres, institutions, and innovators around the world, given its significant humanitarian and developmental impact. The award encourages individuals and research institutions to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for the production, desalination, and purification of water using clean energy sources. "In its first three awards, a total of 31 winners from 22 countries were recognised. The fourth event attracted applications from 46 countries.

How $35bn Al Maktoum International Airport expansion is driving major Dubai South real estate investment boom as property prices tipped to grow 20%
The AED128bn ($35bn) expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South is fuelling a real estate boom that has major implications for the wider UAE economy, according to Betterhomes analysis. Property transactions in the area exceeded AED15bn ($4.1bn) in the first five months of 2025 and prices could increase by up to 20 per cent in the near term said analysts. Spanning 70 sq km, the new Al Maktoum Airport will feature five runways and 400 aircraft gates and is expected to accommodate more than 260m passengers annually upon completion. Al Maktoum International Airport drives Dubai South real estate growth More than just an enhancement to the aviation sector, however, the project is poised to drive growth across real estate, hospitality, and the broader economy. Investor interest in Dubai South is accelerating, driven by competitive pricing, strong rental yields, and ongoing infrastructure development, said Betterhomes. Louis Harding, CEO of Betterhomes, said: 'The development of Al Maktoum Airport is not just a milestone in aviation, but a catalyst for the next chapter of Dubai's real estate growth. We're already seeing the ripple effects in Dubai South. This is the early stage of a long-term growth cycle.' Rental rates have risen 20 per cent year-to-date, with a sharp increase in both off-plan and ready property sales. Betterhomes has also recorded more than 20 per cent monthly growth in buyer and tenant inquiries, while institutional capital is entering the market, most notably a $1bn investment partnership between a major Abu Dhabi-based asset manager and Brookfield. Property prices in Dubai South are forecast to rise by 15–20 per cent in the near term. Infrastructure enhancements, including the Dubai Metro Blue Line and Etihad Rail, will further strengthen demand, and a recent AED1bn ($272m) contract award for the airport's second runway signals continued momentum. Average prices in surrounding areas remain up to 60 per cent lower than in prime districts like Downtown Dubai, offering attractive value. A similar growth pattern was seen following the launch of Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport in 2005, when surrounding areas such as Dubai Marina and Al Barsha experienced substantial appreciation. Between the launch and early 2008, average sale prices had nearly doubled. With demand surging and a long-term development pipeline in motion, the neighbourhood is emerging as one of the UAE's most promising real estate growth corridors. The $35bn terminal expansion is set to create employment and housing opportunities for over one million people, with far-reaching effects across multiple sectors. As job creation increases, population growth is expected to follow, driving greater demand for housing and supporting broader economic development. Surrounding areas are already experiencing a rise in transactions, property prices, rental rates and yields. The aviation sector alone is projected to contribute over 30 per cent to the emirate's GDP by 2030.

Adnoc Gas awards $5bn in contracts for Rich Gas Development project
Abu Dhabi's Adnoc Gas has awarded contracts worth $5 billion for a key project that is part of its major operational expansion and self-sufficiency strategy. The final investment decision is the first of three phases for the Rich Gas Development project, which is expected to boost the company's Ebitda by 40 per cent through 2029, Adnoc Gas said in a statement on Tuesday. Ebitda – or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation – is a key metric used by companies to measure core profitability. The contracts are part of what Adnoc Gas, a unit of state-owned energy major Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, said is its biggest ever capital investment. They involve boosting key processing units to increase efficiency across its four gas facilities in Asab, Buhasa, onshore Habshan and Das Island, the company said. The engineering, procurement and construction management contracts were awarded in three tranches: Scotland-based professional services firm Wood secured $2.8 billion for Habshan, while a consortia of London-based Petrofac and Dubai's Kent received $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion for Das Island, and Asab and Buhasa, respectively. Adnoc Gas first hinted in November that it would make the investment decision for the Rich Gas Development project in 2025. A decision for another major project, the Bab Gas Cap development, is expected in 2026. The Rich Gas Development project will help develop new gas reservoirs, which in turn, would increase liquid gas exports, support the UAE's gas self-sufficiency agenda and provide feedstock to the country's growing petrochemical industry, the company said. The first phase of the project will focus on optimising and removing bottlenecks in existing Adnoc Gas assets while unlocking new and valuable gas streams, in addition to future-proofing its business. The company plans to decide on the next two phases of the project at Habshan and Ruwais to 'enable the delivery of greater production capacity to meet growing market demands', but did not give a timeline. The investment in the Rich Gas Development project marks a 'significant milestone' for the company, Fatema Al Nuaimi, chief executive of Adnoc Gas, said in the statement. 'This strategic investment is expected to deliver significant new value for our shareholders and enable continued sustainable growth for the company, our employees and the UAE,' she added. Adnoc Gas, which has access to 95 per cent of the UAE's natural gas reserves, is looking to boost exports of products such as liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha. Its customers in the Emirates include utilities and industrial companies, which are supplied commercial quantities through an extensive network of pipelines. Adnoc Gas, alongside other Adnoc units, has been boosting investments to expand its geographical and operational reach. In May, the company reported a 7 per cent year-on-year increase in net income to $1.27 billion, driven by strong domestic demand for gas and continued economic growth in the UAE, the Arab world's second-largest economy. Adnoc Gas is also eligible for potential inclusion in the Morgan Stanley Capital International and Financial Times Stock Exchange emerging market indexes as early as June and September respectively, it said. Adnoc sold part of its stake in the subsidiary to institutional investors as it looks to improve liquidity and raise capital. The recently completed offering of 3.1 billion shares in Adnoc Gas increased the free float by 4 per cent to 9 per cent.
