Together, we will leverage our combined expertise to deliver innovative IoT solutions that improve operational efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable and smarter urban environment.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Moro Hub and Urbi will jointly develop and deploy cutting-edge IoT solutions that address the complex challenges of urbanisation. The partnership will focus on integrating smart technologies across key sectors, including transportation, energy management, waste management, and public safety.

By harnessing the power of IoT, the collaboration is expected to enable real-time data collection and analysis, providing actionable insights to enhance the operations for businesses and optimise city operations.

Pavel Mochalkin, chief executive of Urbi, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Moro Hub to create smarter and more efficient cities. Our geospatial integrated IoT solutions underpin Urbi’s commitment to collaborating with various regional sectors to achieve the highest performance.

“Our advanced technologies and services will efficiently enable smarter infrastructure and more resilient urban environments, completely benefiting the community by tackling key urban challenges that will raise the standard of living for all.”

As part of this partnership, Moro Hub and Urbi will work closely with government entities and businesses to implement pilot projects and scalable IoT solutions across the UAE. The MoU sets the stage for ongoing collaboration, with both parties committed to exploring new opportunities and expanding their smart city initiatives.
