Dubai Municipality taps Siemens to enhance city’s public facilities

Dubai Municipality will use artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies from Siemens, a global leader in intelligent infrastructure, to enhance service delivery, reduce environmental impact, optimise resource consumption, and elevate the performance and sustainability of the city’s public facilities.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishes a framework for piloting Siemens’ advanced digital solutions across a wide range of public infrastructure, including predictive maintenance systems, AI-powered building automation, energy optimisation, and smart analytics platforms to monitor and manage environmental and operational performance in real time.

The agreement aligns with the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) and reflects Dubai’s ambition to build a sustainable, knowledge-driven digital economy that harnesses innovation to enhance the efficiency of the city’s infrastructure and public services. It supports Dubai Municipality’s efforts to enhance service delivery, reduce environmental impact, optimise resource consumption, and elevate the performance and sustainability of public facilities across the city.

Badr Anwahi, Chief Executive Officer of the Public Facilities Agency at Dubai Municipality, said: “Through this partnership, we reaffirm our commitment to integrating advanced digital solutions and artificial intelligence into the design, management, and operation of Dubai’s public spaces.

“Siemens’ global expertise in intelligent infrastructure will support us in enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and long-term performance of these spaces. Our focus is to ensure that Dubai’s parks, beaches, and public environments continue to offer safe, resilient, and high-quality experiences for all members of the community.”

Helmut von Struve, Chief Executive Officer of Siemens Middle East and the UAE, added: “We are proud to expand our partnership with Dubai Municipality through this strategic collaboration. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to applying innovative, scalable, and AI-driven solutions that enhance operational efficiency and advance sustainability.

“Together, we aim to optimise resource management, digitalise infrastructure, and accelerate Dubai Municipality’s mission to provide the highest quality of life for all residents.”

The two parties will also co-develop technical guidelines and knowledge resources to facilitate the exchange of global best practices in smart infrastructure and AI adoption. These efforts will support the Municipality’s long-term goal of developing public spaces that are more efficient, sustainable, and responsive to community needs.

The MoU forms part of the Municipality’s ongoing efforts to build smart, people-centric infrastructure that anticipates future needs and strengthens Dubai’s position as one of the world’s most liveable, innovative, and resilient cities.
