Beam Global, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for energy storage and security, electrification of mobility, and smart city infrastructure, has signed an MoU with Masdar City Free Zone to explore opportunities to incorporate its smart-energy and clean-mobility technologies into the Masdar City ecosystem.
Following Beam Middle East’s licensing through Masdar City Free Zone, this exploratory agreement aims to advance sustainable mobility and clean‑energy innovation across the UAE.
This partnership comes at a time when, according to Strategy& (part of the PWC Network) Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are targeting green investments and economic transformations in the trillion-dollar range, said the statement.
"Partnering with Masdar City, a global leader in sustainable urban development, is a major milestone for Beam Global as we expand our footprint in the Middle East," said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global.
"Our sustainable mobility, energy storage and smart city solutions are engineered to deploy rapidly without grid constraints, making them a perfect fit for Masdar City’s vision of a clean, resilient, and zero-carbon future while prioritizing sustainability in urban infrastructure and transportation," he stated.
As part of this collaboration, Beam Middle East will introduce and supply advanced energy systems for potential application within the ecosystem, including off‑grid EV charging infrastructure, solar‑integrated e‑bike solutions, and other clean‑energy mobility technologies designed to reduce emissions and expand access to sustainable transportation.
These solutions align directly with the UAE’s ambition to become a global leader in renewable energy and climate‑positive development.
According to Beam, these technologies fit naturally into the smart mobility ecosystem fostered by Masdar City Free Zone, particularly within the Smart and Autonomous Vehicle Industries (SAVI) cluster.
Established at Masdar City to position Abu Dhabi as a leading hub for advanced transportation, the SAVI cluster provides a progressive regulatory framework and green infrastructure designed to accelerate the evaluation and commercialisation of smart transit solutions.
Operating within this environment, the Free Zone empowers licensed partners like Beam Middle East to explore how off-grid energy and e-mobility systems can support cleaner, more resilient urban infrastructure, it added.
"For nearly two decades, Masdar City has served as a global benchmark and proven enabler for sustainable urban innovation," said Dr Mohamed Al Breiki, the Executive Director of Masdar City.
"Integrating Beam Global into our Free Zone ecosystem creates a valuable opportunity to explore next-generation mobility and off-grid energy technologies. In alignment with national goals for resilient, high-performance infrastructure, we look forward to evaluating how these innovative solutions can contribute to cleaner, smarter urban environments across the UAE and beyond," he added.
Mahmoud Al Hosani, Executive Director of Finance and Support Services at Masdar City, said: "Attracting a Nasdaq-listed innovator like Beam Global into the Masdar City Free Zone highlights the strength of our commercial ecosystem and our commitment to providing seamless support services for international clean-tech leaders."
"By offering a competitive, business-friendly environment backed by robust operational support, we empower high-growth companies to establish a strong regional footprint in Abu Dhabi. We look forward to facilitating Beam Middle East’s growth as we explore sustainable energy solutions within our ecosystem," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
