The Emirates Group has announced a strategic partnership with Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, to relocate its data centre to the world’s largest solar-powered data facility at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The move aligns with the Group’s long-term sustainability and digital transformation goals.

This partnership strengthens the Emirates Group’s sustainability journey and reinforces Dubai’s leadership in digital transformation and green energy adoption.” Michael Doersam, Chief Financial & Group Services Officer of the Emirates Group, emphasized the significance of the collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with Moro Hub represents a major step in reshaping our technology landscape for the future. By transitioning our digital operations to a solar-powered data centre, we are enhancing operational resilience, scalability, and reducing our environmental footprint. This move reflects our shared vision to position Dubai as a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainability.” The partnership underscores Dubai’s commitment to advancing digital infrastructure while promoting sustainable economic growth and reinforcing its status as a leader in sustainable aviation and clean energy adoption. |
