Cloud platform Tuya Smart is partnering Dubai Electricity digital services subsidiary InfraX to accelerate smart city development in the UAE.

The United Arab Emirates has been actively pursuing economic diversification to reduce its reliance on the oil industry. Dubai, the emirate with the lowest oil reserves in the UAE, is particularly focused on developing non-oil sectors such as the digital economy, re-export trade, and the financial industry.

In advancing its smart city initiatives, Dubai has implemented policies including the “Dubai 10X Initiative,” aimed at accelerating development of Dubai’s urban infrastructure. InfraX is responsible for implementing this transformational plan.

As a key IoT service provider for Dubai’s digital economy, InfraX aims to establish Dubai as a model smart city. The company focuses on delivering advanced intelligent services such as solutions, network infrastructure, and managed services, systematically advancing the smart transformation of Dubai’s utility and technology sectors.

InfraX has chosen to collaborate with Tuya, which provide AI and cloud computing capabilities in smart home and smart city sectors. The two companies plan to develop a highly connected and sustainable smart city for Dubai and the UAE.

Through this collaboration, Tuya will provide InfraX with scalable solutions to accelerate transformation of all UAE cities, including Dubai. In particular, Tuya will provide solutions aimed at increasing the sustainability of UAE cities through increasing the efficiency and sustainability of residential properties in UAE cities.

Using Tuya’s cloud platform, InfraX will help UAE users manage home energy consumption by optimising energy usage patterns through intelligent systems. This is aimed at reducing household energy consumption and daily operating costs, promoting a sustainable living practices among UAE residents.
