WaHa closes US $8mn Series A-1 financing to accelerate global growth
Financial WaHa closes US $8mn Series A-1 financing to accelerate global growth By The funding eliminates debt, streamlines WaHa's cap table, and provides capital for major commercial milestones and future funding and also supports a growing pipeline of qualified sales opportunities in the UAE and GCC Water Harvesting (WaHa), a climate technology company that develops innovative solutions for water scarcity, announced the completion of a US $8mn Series A-1 financing round and a corporate reorganisation. The round was lead by Chairman Mike Phillips and Board member Christian Thirion, with significant participation from the company's note holders and investors, including Berkeley Catalyst Fund, Anthropocene Institute, Vestafund, and Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co. This funding eliminates all debt, streamlines WaHa's cap table, and provides the necessary capital to achieve its next major commercial milestones and secure its next funding round. Moreover, it supports a growing pipeline of qualified sales opportunities across the UAE and the broader GCC region. Field trials conducted at Khalifa University have demonstrated WaHa's ability to reliably harvest pure water in the UAE's harsh desert environment, characterised by extreme heat, low moisture, and frequent sandstorms, said a statement. WaHa's upcoming event exhibition in Dubai will mark the unveiling of its first commercially available AWG unit. This event will provide an opportunity for utilities, developers, and industrial operators to explore WaHa's solutions and discover reliable, sustainable access to pure water. Mike Phillips, Chairman of WaHa said, 'We've built a platform capable of transforming access to water across multiple sectors. This raise will enable us to establish solid traction for the WaHa Vaporator and improve water security in the UAE and broader GCC.' Frank Ramirez, CEO of WaHa added, 'We're grateful for the support of our investors and partners, 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 energised for what's ahead.' Since 2023, WaHa has deployed its atmospheric water generation (AWG) systems in diverse and challenging environments, including West Texas, Abu Dhabi, a remote UAE desert site, Riyadh, and Stockholm. These systems have consistently achieved mechanical reliability, with a 99.998% reliability rate. Furthermore, they have consistently produced 98.3% of the target water volume, setting the highest sustained output in the AWG industry. WaHa's extensive patent portfolio, comprising 14 patent families and 18 patents granted worldwide, safeguards its proprietary WaHa Vaporator technology. This modular system is designed to support off-grid installations and integrate with HVAC and agricultural systems. WaHa is negotiating commercial agreements for manufacturing, distribution, and long-term service and support, the statement concluded.

Dubai Future Foundation Lists 2025's Top Emerging Technologies
The Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), in partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF), has released its much-anticipated Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2025 report. This collaborative study outlines technologies expected to reshape global industries, with a focus on sustainability, health, artificial intelligence, and energy innovation. Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Managing Director of DFF, emphasized that accelerating technological change presents vast opportunities. He noted that these advancements could unlock both economic growth and meaningful social impact. The report's launch marks a milestone, as it's the first time a regional entity DFF has contributed foresight analysis to WEF's global publication. Importantly, more than 300 experts from the Global Future Council network contributed to the report. This year's edition is the first to incorporate a foresight-based approach. DFF led that effort, focusing on the long-term implications and real-world applications of each technology. A Focus on Impact, Scalability, and Innovation The ten selected technologies stand out for their novelty, scalability, and potential for positive societal change. These innovations span several fields, including green energy, biomedical research, and advanced AI applications. According to the report, these breakthroughs are not just theoretical—they are on the cusp of practical, wide-scale use. For example, green nitrogen fixation offers a clean method to produce ammonia, while osmotic power systems convert the interaction of saltwater and freshwater into renewable energy. GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally developed to treat obesity and diabetes, are now being researched for neurological diseases. Meanwhile, nanozymes and autonomous biochemical sensing promise advancements in healthcare diagnostics. In the digital space, generative watermarking could provide crucial tools for verifying AI-generated content. Other technologies like engineered living therapeutics and structural battery composites are poised to impact medicine and mobility, respectively. Preparing for a Rapidly Evolving Future Al Gergawi highlighted that 'readiness for future technologies and the capacity to apply their diverse use cases – has become a key benchmark for governments and the private sector in designing and building the future.' For that reason, the report serves not just as a forecast, but also as a strategic guide. The inclusion of collaborative sensing networks and advanced nuclear technologies reflects the urgency to address global challenges through integrated systems. These emerging technologies could soon help solve real-world problems at scale—whether in urban infrastructure, environmental monitoring, or clean energy production. In closing, Al Gergawi reaffirmed the Foundation's commitment: 'We will continue to support active global partnerships and advancing research to anticipate emerging trends and technological opportunities.' The report is a call to action for decision-makers across sectors to embrace innovation as a means of shaping a better future.
