On 10 Jan 2023, Israeli water desalination company IDE Technologies announced the opening of a new regional office in Dubai: IDE Meyah Water Solutions. This is in efforts to grow the company’s presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and deliver industry-leading water treatment solutions to local industries and municipalities.
The move supports IDE’s mission to provide seawater desalination plants, end-to-end water treatment solutions and water reclamation and purification to regions in need.
“The UAE has been a strategic area of growth for IDE, and we are thrilled to now have a physical presence in the region,” said the company’s regional manager for MENA, Mohamed Sebbane. “This will improve our ability to connect with existing and prospective customers and partner with them for a more sustainable water future.”

Its seminar focused on water challenges and solutions of the industrial and municipal sectors with lectures and one-on-one sessions for attendees interested in seawater desalination, efficient and environmentally friendly water treatment solutions, large-scale projects and more.
“Our Dubai office opening, and IDE’s professional seminar last month are two key steps in expanding IDE’s reach to the UAE, its industries, municipalities and residents — a long-time goal of ours,” said Dr Efrat Miller, IDE’s vice-president and head of water treatment and business development. “This is just the beginning for IDE and the UAE, we look forward to much success in the region for many years to come.”
