LHS advocates for sustainable industrial development within the UAE at the 'Make it in the Emirates 2025' event.
Leading Hospitality Services (LHS), a trailblazer in eco-friendly infrastructure and innovative green technology, has affirmed its unwavering dedication to supporting the UAE's industrial evolution and sustainability initiatives. This commitment was highlighted at the 'Make it in the Emirates 2025' event, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT).
At this vital platform for connecting innovators, manufacturers, and investors, LHS emphasized its focus on advancing the UAE's economic diversification and net-zero objectives. This is accomplished by locally producing sustainable technologies within the UAE and enhancing domestic supply capabilities. This approach not only quickens their response to market needs but also reduces their carbon footprint and pioneers electricity-free cooling for buildings and infrastructure.
Speaking at the event, Atul Kapil, group general manager of LHS, stated, "At 'Make it in the Emirates 2025', we're proud to reaffirm our long-term commitment to the UAE's industrial vision. By localizing the production of sustainable technologies, we can react more swiftly to market demands, lessen our carbon impact, and provide electricity-free cooling for buildings and infrastructure, while furthering the nation's aims for green manufacturing and sustainable innovation."
He further noted, "Participating in Make it in the Emirates 2025 is a testament to our commitment to the UAE's industrial future. Our involvement isn't merely for visibility; it's about contributing to a movement that champions innovation, local manufacturing, and long-term sustainability. It's an opportunity to demonstrate how homegrown solutions can expedite the UAE's journey to resilience and climate leadership."
In October 2024, LHS joined the Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC) as a corporate member, marking a major step in its mission to promote sustainability, energy efficiency, and green building practices across the UAE. This partnership aims to foster innovation and facilitate knowledge exchange among industry leaders, policymakers, and green technology developers, thereby speeding up the adoption of sustainable practices in the country's infrastructure. In November 2024, LHS showcased its latest technological advancements at Big 5 Global, the world's most influential construction industry event.
Kapil commented, "We specialize in sustainable infrastructure technologies primed for real-world impact. We're not merely supplying products; we're aiding industries in transitioning to greener, more intelligent operations."
Moreover, LHS has collaborated with AQMC to offer sustainable air and surface sterilization systems that eliminate odors, bacteria, viruses, and hazardous gases. AQMC's unique paramagnetic process ensures clean, safe air and surfaces without altering oxygen levels or relying on harmful chemicals, maintaining LHS's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that bolster environmental responsibility and enhance human well-being.
As the UAE continues to solidify its position as a global hub for sustainable industrial development, LHS continues to play an instrumental role in this transformation by offering solutions that align with the nation's strategic objectives.
Kapil added, "Local production is a strategic lever. It reduces dependence on imports, shortens supply chains, and promotes sustainability within the manufacturing process itself. A localized green economy is one that's robust, adaptable, and anchored in national priorities."
Reflecting on the company's evolution, he concluded, "Our journey began with on-ground trials—testing passive cooling across residences, schools, and commercial buildings in the most extreme climates. Over the years, we've concentrated on solutions that are low-impact, scalable, and results-driven. From proof of concept to national deployment, that's the evolution we're now driving."
"We're expanding in two directions," said Kapil. "First, by increasing our investment in local manufacturing of sustainable technologies. Second, by expanding our portfolio to include solutions that tackle other critical challenges such as water use efficiency and waste reduction. For the UAE to achieve net-zero, retrofitting should become the norm, not the exception. We aim to contribute to that transformation."
- Beyond reinforcing their dedication to the UAE's industrial vision and sustainable initiatives, Leading Hospitality Services (LHS) also highlighted their focus on enhancing local technology and finance, with an aim to produce sustainable technologies within the UAE and foster innovation through partnerships like the one with the Emirates Green Building Council.
- As LHS expands its investment in local manufacturing of sustainable technologies, they are not only promoting environmental responsibility and human well-being but also aiming to address other crucial challenges such as water use efficiency and waste reduction, contributing significantly to the UAE's net-zero objectives.
