Back for Its 6th Edition, PPP MENA Forum Returns as Billions Move Into the Region’s Next Infrastructure Pipeline

Leave a comment

With at least AED 95 billion in announced PPP pipelines across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the Forum returns as public and private sector partners move from ambition to the financing, structuring and delivery of the region’s next generation of infrastructure.

Dubai, UAE: Back for its sixth edition, the PPP MENA Forum returns to Dubai at a defining moment for public-private partnerships across the Middle East and North Africa. Across the region, ambitious development programmes are moving from vision to delivery, placing renewed focus on how infrastructure and public services can be financed, structured and operated at scale.

That shift is increasingly visible in the flow of private capital. Private investment in infrastructure across MENA reached approximately US$54 billion in 2023, up from US$19 billion a year earlier, reflecting a broader move towards models that align public-sector priorities with private-sector capital, specialist expertise and long-term delivery capability.

Nowhere is that momentum more evident than in the UAE. Dubai has identified an AED 40 billion PPP portfolio comprising 30 projects across 10 strategic sectors, including water and sewerage, transport, healthcare, waste management, smart cities, housing, culture and public amenities. Among the largest projects is the AED 25 billion Dubai Strategic Sewerage Tunnels project, structured under a design, build, finance, operate, and maintain model.

Abu Dhabi is advancing an equally significant programme, with an AED 55 billion PPP pipeline comprising 24 infrastructure projects expected to come to market in 2026 and 2027. Together, the announced pipelines in Dubai and Abu Dhabi represent at least AED 95 billion in PPP opportunities, underscoring the scale at which private sector participation is being embedded in the UAE’s infrastructure agenda.

Against this backdrop, the 6th PPP MENA Forum 2026 will take place on 10–11 November 2026 at Palazzo Versace Dubai, bringing together the government entities shaping project pipelines and the investors, developers, lenders, contractors, operators and advisors positioned to finance and deliver them.

Held under the theme “A New Era of Opportunity: Building a Stronger, More Resilient MENA Through PPPs,” the two-day Forum will focus on the practical conditions required to move projects from policy and procurement into bankable, investable and deliverable partnerships.

The scope of PPP activity is also expanding well beyond the sectors traditionally associated with such partnerships. While transport, power, water and utilities remain central to the market, partnership models are increasingly being explored across healthcare, education, housing, real estate, logistics, sports infrastructure, culture and wider social infrastructure, reflecting the growing role of PPPs in both economic and social development.

A major focus of the Forum will be the evolution of procurement and financing models, including project preparation, risk allocation, bankability, contractual structures, and the role of innovation and digitalisation in improving how projects are assessed, procured and delivered. Regional case studies will provide practical perspectives on what it takes to move complex projects from planning and financing through to implementation.

The scale of the Forum reflects the growing breadth of the stakeholder ecosystem surrounding PPP development. More than 500 attendees are expected, including 150 government delegates, over 25 VIP dignitaries and more than 70 expert speakers, alongside 15 government partners and more than 50 sponsors and exhibitors.

The speaker and advisory line-up brings together senior PPP and infrastructure specialists from regional and international markets, including Andrew Thomas, Strategic Advisor PPP, WSP Middle East; Moustafa Fahour OAM, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Arada Capital; Nasser Massoud, Founder & Managing Director, Concept Realisation and Chair of the Social Sector PPPs Chapter at WAPPP; Nayef AlHaddad, Chairman of the WAPPP Chapter for Middle East and North Africa; Mosaab R. Alburih, Chief Public Private Partnerships Officer at Tatweer Buildings Company; and Dr. Eyup Vural Aydin, Chairman of the Istanbul PPP Center of Excellence.

Beyond policy dialogue, the 6th PPP MENA Forum is designed to facilitate direct engagement between the institutions responsible for the region’s infrastructure ambitions and the organisations capable of financing, developing and delivering them. As governments place greater emphasis on private-sector participation, the Forum will examine where new opportunities are emerging, what makes projects commercially viable, and how stronger public-private collaboration can accelerate delivery across MENA.

The 6th PPP MENA Forum 2026 will take place on 10–11 November 2026 at Palazzo Versace Dubai, UAE.

Scheduled for 9–10 November 2026 at Crowne Plaza Kuwait, the conference will be held under the theme “Beyond Transformation: Designing Kuwait’s Intelligent Future,” reflecting the country’s growing emphasis on moving beyond digital adoption towards intelligent, integrated and citizen-centric solutions.

In collaboration with Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT), and in partnership with the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA), the two-day gathering will provide a strategic platform for advancing Kuwait’s digital ambitions in line with Kuwait Vision 2035 (New Kuwait).

The conference will welcome H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Ahmed Al Sabah, Honorary President of the conference and Founder and Chairman of the Association of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AAIoT), who will deliver the Opening Keynote, setting the strategic direction for discussions on Kuwait’s next phase of technology-led development.

Manal Al-Mazyad, Vice Chairman of the Board, Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA); Dr. Ammar Alhusaini, Senior Director, Strategic Partnerships, IMPULSE; and Prof. Khalid Al-Begain, Founding President, Kuwait College of Science and Technology.

As artificial intelligence increasingly reshapes economies, industries and public services, the conference will examine how Kuwait can strengthen its digital capabilities through strategic investments in AI infrastructure, cloud computing, advanced data centres and secure connectivity. Cybersecurity, digital identity and digital trust will also feature prominently, reflecting the importance of protecting critical infrastructure, strengthening data governance and building confidence in an increasingly interconnected digital ecosystem.

The programme will explore the evolution of intelligent government services, highlighting opportunities to improve operational efficiency, enhance public service delivery and create more seamless experiences for citizens and businesses. Smart cities and intelligent infrastructure will form another major area of discussion, with industry leaders examining how connected technologies, data-driven planning and digital innovation can support more sustainable and resilient urban development.

Beyond government transformation, the conference will address the growing application of emerging technologies across healthcare, education, banking and financial services, energy and utilities, aviation, telecommunications, logistics and transportation. Discussions will also focus on connected mobility, intelligent transportation networks and utilities digitalisation, exploring how integrated digital systems can strengthen infrastructure performance and support Kuwait’s long-term economic diversification objectives.

The conference is supported by a broad network of government entities, industry organisations and academic institutions, including the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Works, Artificial Intelligence of Things Association (AAIoT), International Air Transport Association (IATA), National Bank of Kuwait, Kuwait Information Technology Society, Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST), Kuwait Technical College, Medical Liability Authority, Al Mowasat Hospital and Dar Al Shifa Hospital.

By bringing together senior government officials, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, digital transformation leaders, technology providers and industry stakeholders, the 5th Digital Transformation Kuwait Conference aims to encourage knowledge exchange, strengthen public-private collaboration and identify practical pathways for implementing next-generation digital solutions.

The One Atelier Unveils The One Capital as Tokenisation Reshapes Luxury Real Estate

Leave a comment

Natasha Dury

Real estate continues to evolve beyond architecture and location into the realms of branding, technology and experiential value, and The One Atelier is positioning itself at the forefront of the sector’s next transformation. The company has officially launched The One Capital, a blockchain-driven platform focused on tokenisation within branded residential development, marking a significant step in the convergence of luxury property and digital asset infrastructure.

The initiative builds upon The One Atelier’s growing portfolio of internationally recognised branded residential projects associated with some of the world’s most influential luxury names, including Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi Casa, ETRO, Armani Casa, ELLE and Dolce & Gabbana. Many of these developments have demonstrated notable value appreciation between early launch phases and market maturity, reinforcing the increasing demand for branded living experiences among global luxury buyers.

Branded residences have become one of the fastest-expanding sectors within international real estate, driven by buyers seeking not only exclusivity and design pedigree, but also lifestyle identity and long-term value. According to Savills’ Branded Residences Report, such properties can command premiums of up to 33 percent compared to non-branded counterparts, with the sector expected to surpass 1,000 schemes globally by the end of 2026.

Against this backdrop, The One Capital introduces a new approach to early-stage development financing through tokenised real-world asset structures. Rather than focusing solely on completed assets, the platform targets value creation at the earliest stages of branded residential projects, supporting development during pre-launch and early construction phases through blockchain-enabled infrastructure.

The concept reflects the growing maturity of tokenisation within the broader financial and property landscape. By digitally representing selected assets through secure blockchain frameworks, The One Capital aims to create more transparent and structured approaches to capital deployment while maintaining the governance and quality standards expected within ultra-luxury development.

For developers, the platform presents an alternative financing route capable of strengthening early cash flow structures and supporting project alignment from inception. The emphasis remains firmly on structure, transparency and long-term value creation rather than speculative technology narratives that have often overshadowed blockchain discussions in the past.

The launch also signals a wider transformation underway within branded real estate itself. Once viewed primarily as hospitality-adjacent luxury developments, branded residences are increasingly becoming sophisticated investment ecosystems where design, technology, lifestyle and finance intersect. In this context, The One Capital shows how luxury property development is adapting to a more digitally connected and globally fluid financial landscape.

A New Retail Initiative Bringing Local Design into Dubai’s Luxury Shopping Landscape

Natasha Dury

We live in an ecosystem that is celebrated for its luxury retail experiences and global fashion presence and House of Samra is turning the spotlight toward homegrown creativity with the launch of House of Samra: Emirati Talent Showcase, a new initiative created in collaboration with Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for Small and Medium Enterprises Development.

Designed to support emerging Emirati jewellery designers, the programme reflects a growing movement within the UAE’s retail landscape, one that increasingly values local craftsmanship, cultural identity, and entrepreneurial innovation alongside international luxury.

At the heart of the initiative is a simple yet powerful concept: giving Emirati designers direct access to premium retail environments and luxury consumers. Through the programme, selected jewellery designers will showcase their collections inside House of Samra boutiques located across some of Dubai’s most prestigious shopping destinations, including Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Hills Mall, and Dubai Festival City Mall.

The initiative arrives at a time when luxury retail is evolving beyond transactional shopping into something more experiential and community-driven. Consumers are increasingly seeking authenticity, storytelling, and individuality, qualities often found within independent and locally rooted brands. By integrating Emirati jewellery designers into its flagship retail spaces, House of Samra creates an environment where regional creativity can exist alongside established luxury retail experiences.

The collaboration also highlights the wider ambitions of Dubai’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Supported by Dubai SME, part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, the initiative aligns with the emirate’s broader vision of nurturing Emirati businesses and positioning Dubai as a global hub for innovation, creativity, and luxury commerce under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.

For House of Samra, the programme reinforces its identity not only as a fine jewellery maison, but as a platform invested in the future of regional design. Established in the UAE, the brand has built its reputation around refined craftsmanship and timeless elegance, and this latest initiative extends that philosophy into mentorship, visibility, and retail opportunity for the next generation of Emirati creatives.

Within Dubai’s highly competitive luxury retail market, the move feels both commercially intelligent and culturally significant. It recognises that the future of luxury retail lies not only in international names, but also in elevating local voices capable of bringing fresh perspectives and meaningful storytelling into the shopping experience.
