WaHa secures $8mln in Series A-1 funding to accelerate global growth
This financing eliminates all debt, simplifies WaHa's cap table, and provides capital for the company to achieve its next major commercial milestones and close its next funding round. It also supports a growing pipeline of qualified sales opportunities across the UAE and GCC, where field trials at Khalifa University have proven its unique ability to harvest pure water reliably in the UAE's harsh desert environment of extreme heat, low moisture, and frequent sandstorms.
Since 2023, WaHa's atmospheric water generation (AWG) systems have been deployed in challenging environments including West Texas, Abu Dhabi, a remote UAE desert site, Riyadh, and Stockholm. These systems have achieved 99.998% mechanical reliability and produced 98.3% of target water volume—the highest sustained output in the AWG industry. The company's 14 patent families, with 18 patents granted worldwide, protect its proprietary WaHa Vaporator® technology, a modular system supporting off-grid installations and integration with HVAC and agricultural systems.
WaHa will unveil its first commercially available AWG unit at the WETEX 2025 exhibition in Dubai (September 30 – October 2), showcasing solutions for utilities, developers, and industrial operators seeking reliable, sustainable access to pure water.
'We've built a platform capable of transforming access to water across multiple sectors,' said Mike Phillips, Chairman, WaHa. 'This raise will enable us to establish solid traction for the WaHa Vaporator® and improve water security in the UAE and broader GCC.'
'We're grateful for the support of our investors and partners,' added Frank Ramirez, CEO of WaHa. 'This is a major step toward delivering water where it's needed most—reliably, efficiently, and sustainably. We're proud of what our team has achieved and energized for what's ahead.'

Hong Kong Tourism Board appoints AVIAREPS as new marketing & PR representative for the Gulf region
Dubai, UAE – The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has announced the appointment of AVIAREPS Middle East as its official Marketing and Public Relations Representative in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The move marks a significant milestone in HKTB's global expansion strategy and reinforces its commitment to the Middle East as a vital source market for inbound tourism. This new appointment highlights HKTB's recognition of the GCC as an established and high-priority growth market for Hong Kong—Asia's premium travel hub and the world's third-largest financial centre. With its distinctive East-meets-West culture, world-class attractions, and premium offerings, Hong Kong has solidified its position as a highly attractive destination for GCC nationals and travellers from across the Middle East. HKTB's continued presence in the Middle East aligns with Hong Kong's broader vision to drive sustainable tourism growth and strengthen engagement with high-potential markets. According to the Hong Kong Tourism Board's 2024 visitor insights, the city witnessed a 69% increase in arrivals from GCC countries. With their strong appetite for premium experiences and distinctive travel preferences, GCC nationals remain a key priority for both Hong Kong and HKTB. The dedicated AVIAREPS team in Dubai will oversee region-specific marketing and PR initiatives across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar—three of Hong Kong's highest-potential GCC markets. Campaigns will spotlight Hong Kong's diverse offerings, from luxury shopping and Michelin-starred dining to theme parks and family-oriented attractions, alongside the city's expanding halal-certified infrastructure. Hong Kong continues to invest significantly in Muslim-friendly infrastructure. Over 60 hotels and 190 restaurants—including several Michelin-starred venues—are now recognized by CrescentRating, a global halal travel authority, reinforcing the city's reputation as one of Asia's most welcoming destinations for Muslim travelers. Air connectivity between the GCC and Hong Kong continues to grow, with new direct flights launching in November this year—further catalysed by the opening of the Dubai office. Becky Ip, Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, said: ' The appointment of AVIAREPS as the new marketing and PR representative in the Middle East—headquartered in Dubai with dedicated teams in Riyadh and Jeddah—represents a significant milestone for the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The region, and the GCC in particular, demonstrates dynamic growth, enhanced air connectivity, and rapidly evolving travel preferences. These factors present exceptional opportunities for us to deepen engagement and position Hong Kong as a preferred travel destination for discerning GCC travellers. The UAE provides a strategic base for us to strengthen ties with travel trade and business communities across the GCC—and to extend those connections from the GCC to the wider world. Whether it's luxury getaways, family vacations, or corporate travel, our aim is to deliver exceptional, personalized experiences that resonate with the unique preferences of GCC nationals. With enhanced air connectivity, surging demand for premium travel, and the GCC's position as a strategic gateway to the wider Middle East, this is a pivotal moment for us to establish a physical presence in the region. Our aim is to elevate Hong Kong's profile as a leading travel destination for GCC travellers and to build a foundation for future growth in other high-potential markets.' With a network of 70 offices in 65 countries, AVIAREPS will leverage its regional expertise to build strategic partnerships, launch integrated trade and consumer campaigns, and engage with media and influencers across the GCC, with a particular focus on three key markets: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Glenn Johnston, Vice President – Middle East & Global Public Affairs at AVIAREPS, said: " We are proud to represent the Hong Kong Tourism Board in the Middle East as it continues to grow its presence around the world and particularly in this dynamic region. GCC nationals are some of the world's most discerning travellers, known for their high spending and extended stays, seeking unique, high-quality destinations that offer both authenticity and novelty,' ' Hong Kong excels in delivering these experiences with a blend of elegance, simplicity, and charm. We are excited to build strategic partnerships that will showcase the city's diverse offerings through impactful marketing, sales, and PR initiatives, further strengthening Hong Kong's position as a top-tier destination for GCC travellers and those from across the wider region."

UAE: GCC countries shielded from ‘first-order effects' of US tariffs
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are largely insulated from the first-order effects' of US tariffs due to their low exposure to goods trade with the United States, according to S&P Global. 'As we approach the August 1 tariff deadline, uncertainty continues to weigh on global markets,' said Sapna Jagtiani, director and lead analyst for the Middle East at S&P Global Ratings. 'As of July 11, there have been 31 tariff-related rating actions — 25 in North America, four in Europe, and two in Asia-Pacific. (In contrast) The GCC remains relatively insulated from the first-order effects of tariffs given the minimal exposure to US goods trade and the low tariff rates applicable to the countries," she added. However, Jagtiani warned of potential indirect effects. 'Slower global demand and softer investment flows could primarily hit the region, particularly through fluctuations in oil prices and supply dynamics." Richard Boxshall, partner and chief economist at PwC Middle East, echoed this sentiment, noting that the recently announced 10 per cent universal US tariff (announced on April 2) is expected to have limited short-term consequences for Gulf economies. Despite this, certain sectors within the GCC could still feel some pressure. According to the Al Jazeera Centre for Studies, the US has maintained a 25 per cent tariff on aluminium and steel — key exports for countries like the UAE and Bahrain. Meanwhile, regional economic ties with the US remain strong. During President Trump's recent visit, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar announced over $1 trillion in investments into the US. Elsewhere, in a bid to ease trade tensions, the US and European Union on Sunday reached a deal that imposes a 15 per cent tariff on most EU goods — avoiding a broader trade war. The EU also plans to invest around $600 billion in the US, said US President Donald Trump. Dh954 billion non-oil fiscal revenue Despite global uncertainties, GCC countries have made notable progress in diversifying their economies. Jagtiani noted that non-oil fiscal revenue in the region has doubled over the past decade, reaching an estimated $260 billion (Dh954.2 billion) in 2025 — accounting for 36 per cent of GDP. According to FAB Market Insights and Strategy, the US trade tariffs are clearly set to have a dampening effect on the outlook for global economic activity. 'We currently expect global economic growth of 2.7 per cent this year, followed by a modest improvement, but only to 3.0 per cent in 2026. Within this scenario, we still see structural, tariff-generated inflation pressures as a main hawkish impediment to higher levels of economic expansion,' it said in a note. On the geopolitical front, S&P's Jagtiani said the current ceasefire between Israel and Iran has alleviated immediate credit stress in the region. 'Nonetheless, we view the ceasefire as fragile, with a potential for re-escalation. The duration and involvement of key actors will be crucial in assessing the potential impact of any renewed conflict,' she added.

Union Properties resolves legacy debt with new Motor City sale
Union Properties has concluded its comprehensive recovery plan, which was designed to resolve all legacy debt settlements and restore long-term financial strength. The company achieved this after signing a conditional sale agreement valued at AED 700 million (US$190.6 million) for a real estate project in Motor City. Building on a record AED 1.3 billion (US$350 million) in plot sales achieved in 2024 as part of its debt restructuring strategy, this latest agreement is expected to be recognised in the company's fourth quarter 2025 financials. Union Properties completes debt recovery plan Upon completion, the proceeds will enable Union Properties to fully settle its legacy debt, marking the culmination of a multi-year recovery strategy. It will position the company to move decisively toward a new phase of sustainable growth and strategic capital deployment. Amer Khansaheb, CEO and Board Member of Union Properties, commented: 'This transaction is more than a sale – it is a signal of strength. With this transition, we bring our recovery plan to a close, settle all legacy debts, and lay the foundation for a bold new chapter. 'This milestone reflects not only the trust and confidence of the market in our vision, but also the resilience and discipline of our team in executing one of the most successful turnaround strategies in the sector. Today, we build from a position of strength, focused on strategic development, long-term value creation, and a sustainable impact across the UAE's real estate landscape.' The real estate project will make a meaningful contribution to the continued evolution of MotorCity, one of Dubai's most established and sought-after communities. Structured under a deferred payment framework, the agreement further reinforces Union Properties' disciplined financial approach. The initial deposit has already been secured, ensuring strong cash flow visibility and continued balance sheet optimisation. In a statement, Union Properties said it 'remains committed to delivering value-driven, market-responsive developments that elevate communities and support Dubai's broader urban vision'.
