Industrial 3-axis accelerometer has high offset stability

 KYOTO, Japan 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TOKYO: 6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001) has introduced a 3-axis accelerometer for the industrial market that combines high offset stability over temperature and time, good linearity, low noise density, and excellent robustness. The SCA3400-D01 XYZ accelerometer is meant for use in industrial applications such as structural health monitoring (SHM), machine control, inertial measurement units, and construction tools and systems. This product will be exhibited at Sensors Converge 2025 to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center (Booth #716), California from 24 to 26 June 2025.

The offset stability of an accelerometer refers to the consistency of its output when at rest, but subject to varying temperatures or the effects of aging. Ideally, this output should be zero, but it is often not, and so equipment makers need to calibrate their designs to account for this. The more stable the offset is, the greater the accuracy of the sensor’s measurements. Also, high offset stability enables equipment makers to calibrate their designs for the product’s lifetime, rather than expecting users to regularly recalibrate to maintain accuracy.

In the case of the SCA3400-D01, the offset drift over lifetime 0.5 mg for the X and Y axes and 2 mg for the Z axis. The offset error introduced by varying its operating temperature is 2 mg on the X and Y axes and 3 mg on the Z axis. The Murata SCA3400-D01 offers exceptional performance in terms of accuracy. It exhibits a linearity error figure of 1 mg over a 1.2 g range and a noise density of 20 µg/√Hz, both of which contribute to more precise measurements.

Another feature of the 3-axis accelerometer that should appeal to industrial equipment makers is the user-selectable dynamic range and low-pass filtering, which enables designers to configure the part for the best combination of resolution, linearity, and noise performance for the application. The part also has self-diagnostic features that enable it to detect when a measured signal is reliable.

The SCA3400-D01 (8.6 × 7.6 × 3.3 mm; 0.34" × 0.30" × 0.13") is built on the latest version of Murata’s proven 3D MEMS process and uses the company’s latest ASIC design and processes. It will be available as single parts on an evaluation PCB, sample bags of four parts, and reels containing either 100 or 1,000 pieces.

Lenovo Ranks 8th in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 2025

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Lenovo has once again secured a position in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2025, recognizing its excellence in supply chain operations and placing eighth, up two places from last year, among global leaders across various industries, including pharmaceutical, automotive, FMCG, and technology. The Gartner ranking highlights companies that consistently demonstrate leadership in supply chain strategy and execution.

Lenovo’s mission to bring Smarter AI to every household and every industry applies equally to the digital transformation of its own business operations, where AI plays a central role in enhancing efficiency and building long-term resilience across global operations and the company’s supply chain.

“At Lenovo, our mission is to create Smarter AI for All,” said Che Min Tu, SVP and Group Operations Officer. “To build the kind of technology our customers expect, we need to lead by example within our own business. By integrating AI across our global supply chain, we’re not only able to support the growing business demand, but also improve the customer experience, and cut order-to-ship times in what is arguably one of the most complex and dynamic global business environments.”

The company’s digital transformation journey over the past eight years has focused on streamlining planning, enhancing procurement and supplier collaboration, and improving logistics visibility. These changes also supported Lenovo’s environmental goals by aligning supply chain improvements with its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments.

AI is now accelerating these gains. Lenovo teams utilize AI-powered tools for faster decision-making and deeper insights, while AI agents provide targeted support to resolve issues efficiently. This work has been undertaken by a team of over 75 Lenovo researchers, including 22 PhDs, who developed a set of AI tools designed to support the objectives of Lenovo’s global supply chain.

Within Lenovo’s global supply chain, AI has significantly enhanced planning accuracy and accountability, leading to more efficient and cost-effective operations. The introduction of intelligent production scheduling has streamlined the scheduling process, allowing for quicker and more responsive production decisions.

“The use of AI in our systems is ultimately benefiting our customers. AI-driven customer sentiment analysis has provided deeper insights into customer needs and recurring issues, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and better warranty-related performance,” said Guan Wei, SVP and Head of Global Supply Chain.

Lenovo’s supply chain spans over 30 manufacturing sites in 11 markets across the Asia Pacific, China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North America, and South America regions. In February 2025, Lenovo, in partnership with Alat, broke ground on a new manufacturing base in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Scheduled to come online in 2026, this new facility will manufacture millions of laptops, desktops, and servers for the region. Lenovo’s global manufacturing footprint provides the ultimate flexibility and resilience, enabling the company to respond quickly and navigate any global situation effectively.

Ben Massie, Vice President of Global Supply Chain for Lenovo’s Infrastructure Solutions Group, said: “As supply chains become more complex, staying resilient is no longer enough. Lenovo is now focused on becoming ‘anti-fragile’—not just withstanding disruption but getting stronger because of it.”

About the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 ranking and methodology

The Supply Chain Top 25 ranking comprises two main components: business performance and opinion. Business performance in the form of public financial and ESG (environmental, social, governance) data provides a view into how companies have performed in the past three years, while the opinion component offers an eye to future potential and reflects leadership in the supply chain community. These two components are combined into a total composite score.

Gartner derives a list of companies from a combination of the Fortune Global 500 and the Forbes Global 2000. In an effort to maintain the list of companies evaluated at a manageable level, a general annual revenue threshold of $15 billion has been applied and companies without physical supply chains are excluded.

2025 Zhejiang (Egypt) International Engineering Exhibition Successfully Held

 “Shaping a Smart, Green Future with Zhejiang”

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- From June 17th to 19th, 2025, the Zhejiang (Egypt) International Engineering Exhibition was successfully held in Hall 3 of the Cairo International Exhibition Center.

Hosted by the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province and organized by the Zhejiang International Contractors Association and Hangzhou Boheng Business Exhibition Co., Ltd., the exhibition was held alongside the prominent 2025 Egypt Big 5 Construction Show. Zhejiang showcased its unified provincial image through a dedicated area featuring 10 enterprises, 15 representatives, and an exhibition space of 108 square meters. Participating companies included Yoking Pump Co., Ltd., Zhitao Electric Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Qiankai Electric Equipment Co., Ltd., and Hangzhou Fulltime Robotics Co., Ltd. Over three days, Zhejiang enterprises interacted with more than 920 professional merchants from 12 countries and regions, resulting in intended transaction amounts of $5.7 million.

Strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, Egypt plays a key role in the Belt and Road Initiative. In May 2024, China and Egypt signed the Cooperation Plan on Jointly Promoting the Construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, which defined key cooperation areas. This strengthened framework will deepen collaboration and fuel development. To diversify its economy, Egypt has initiated projects like “Egypt Vision 2030,” the New Administrative Capital, and the Suez Canal Corridor—sectors with strong demand for construction and renewable energy. These developments open new avenues for Zhejiang enterprises to participate in Egypt's infrastructure upgrades.

Zhejiang Province has been advancing its “Sweet Potato Economy” strategy to upgrade the “No. 1 Opening-Up Project.” In 2024, newly signed foreign contracting projects totaled $5.486 billion (up 11.57%), with a completed turnover of $7.995 billion (up 15.27%), ranking fourth nationwide in business scale. This Egyptian exhibition marked Zhejiang’s first self-organized overseas event in 2025. Themed “Shaping a Smart, Green Future with Zhejiang,” it underscored the province’s capabilities in green technology and smart construction. Zhejiang will continue to leverage overseas exhibitions to help more enterprises expand globally, foster cooperation and technology exchange, and offer sustainable solutions to global engineering challenges.

TROSMIC SPORTS ANNONCE: « FLUX HALO »

  Une arène emblématique de nouvelle génération pour le CCG

 

Trosmic Sports a annoncé aujourd’hui ses plans conceptuels pour « Flux Halo », un stade couvert de nouvelle génération qui ambitionne de redéfinir les expériences de divertissement en direct et les événements sportifs dans le CCG. Soutenu par un investissement en capitaux japonais de 1 milliard de dollars américains, Flux Halo représente une avancée audacieuse vers la création de l’une des arènes les plus avancées technologiquement et les plus influentes culturellement au monde.

« Au cœur de Trosmic Sports et de Flux Halo réside une conviction audacieuse : le sport est notre langage universel, et cette arène en sera l’expression la plus éloquente », a déclaré M. Bhardwaj, mentor et fondateur conceptuel de Trosmic Sports.

« Ici, chaque projecteur illuminera non seulement la prouesse athlétique, mais aussi la quête humaine constante de dépasser l’inconnu. »

Bien que l’emplacement final soit encore en cours d’étude dans la région du CCG, Flux Halo est positionné comme un lieu emblématique destiné à rivaliser avec des icônes mondiales telles que l’O₂ Arena de Londres ou le Madison Square Garden de New York.

L’ouverture est prévue pour la mi-2030. Flux Halo est conçu pour accueillir jusqu’à 20 000 spectateurs dans une configuration entièrement modulable, permettant une transition fluide entre matchs de football, compétitions de basketball, autres événements sportifs, concerts, tournois d’esport et conventions à grande échelle. Le stade offrira 200 000 m² d’espace intérieur sans colonnes, surmonté d’un toit rétractable en membrane tendue de 75 000 m², garantissant un confort optimal toute l’année.

Kotetsu Yamamoto, directeur créatif principal du projet, décrit la forme ruban emblématique de Flux Halo, inspirée du ruban de Möbius, comme « une incarnation architecturale du mouvement perpétuel ». Enveloppée dans une maille LED programmable de 50 000 m², la façade extérieure se transformera en toile numérique pour des spectacles lumineux immersifs, des campagnes de marque et des statistiques en temps réel.

L’architecture de Flux Halo s’inspire de la couronne d’Athéna — déesse de la sagesse et de la guerre, et protectrice des héros dans tous les sports.

~ Kotetsu Yamamoto, directeur créatif principal, Flux Halo

« Flux Halo n’a jamais été conçu pour être simplement un stade », a déclaré Yamamoto.

« C’est une déclaration visuelle et un système modulaire qui s’adapte à la culture évolutive qui l’entoure. »

George Kunihiro, directeur de l’architecture et de la planification, ajoute : « Les LED à énergie solaire, le contrôle climatique piloté par IA et les systèmes de recyclage des eaux de pluie permettront une exploitation à énergie nette zéro »,

un objectif que très peu d’arènes couvertes dans le monde ont atteint.

Cette annonce intervient alors que les pays du CCG intensifient leurs efforts pour diversifier leurs économies au-delà des hydrocarbures, avec des milliards investis dans le tourisme, la culture et les infrastructures d’événements en direct. Des sites du Qatar conçus pour la Coupe du Monde, au Louvre et au circuit F1 d’Abu Dhabi, en passant par le calendrier culturel émergent de l’Arabie Saoudite, la région se positionne de plus en plus comme un centre mondial. Peu de concepts rivalisent cependant avec Flux Halo en matière d’échelle, de flexibilité ou d’ambition technologique.

« C’est une opportunité unique pour contribuer à façonner le prochain grand lieu emblématique de notre époque », a déclaré Vaibhav Sharma, président de Trosmic Sports.

« Flux Halo ne se limite pas au divertissement. Il incarne la fierté régionale, l’innovation et l’ambition de créer un héritage durable. »

Les capitaux propres restent ouverts aux investisseurs régionaux et internationaux.

Ekta Nirmalkar, membre du conseil d’administration de Trosmic, souligne que les sources de revenus diversifiées du site — des suites de luxe et billetterie jusqu’aux espaces de vente et droits de nommage — devraient générer des rendements solides et récurrents sur un horizon de 10 ans.

« Avec une fréquentation annuelle estimée à 10 millions de visiteurs, Flux Halo est conçu pour avoir un impact culturel tout en assurant le succès commercial », a-t-elle déclaré.

Ankur Tandon, fort de plus de 15 ans d’expérience dans la finance avec des banques américaines, rejoint l’équipe de direction avec un focus sur l’exécution opérationnelle. Son expertise en comptabilité, fusions et stratégie globale apportera un encadrement pratique aux ambitions globales du projet.

Rohit Kumar, directeur chez Trosmic Sports, apporte une expérience de direction multisectorielle dans les domaines du capital institutionnel et du développement commercial transfrontalier. Il concentrera ses efforts sur la stratégie de croissance à long terme de Flux Halo, avec une attention particulière à l’expansion durable et à l’alignement avec les investisseurs.

Afin de renforcer l’élan et finaliser les éléments de conception, M. Yamamoto et M. Kunihiro dirigeront une délégation japonaise aux Émirats arabes unis du 29 juin au 7 juillet, avec des réunions privées et des visites de sites exploratoires à Dubaï, Abou Dhabi et Riyad.

Un consultant régional en infrastructures sportives a commenté :

« Il est rare de voir un concept d’arène couverte qui allie à ce point durabilité avancée et polyvalence événementielle. Si le projet se concrétise comme prévu, Flux Halo pourrait transformer le paysage des événements en direct au Moyen-Orient. »

Avec sa conception innovante, son architecture numérique immersive et sa stratégie financière tournée vers l’avenir, Flux Halo est bien plus qu’un simple lieu.

C’est une vision du prochain chapitre du CCG, fondée sur l’ambition, l’innovation et une portée mondiale.

TROSMIC SPORTS ANNOUNCES ‘FLUX HALO’

 A Next-Generation Landmark Arena for the GCC

Trosmic Sports today announced conceptual plans for Flux Halo, a next-generation indoor stadium that aspires to redefine live entertainment and sporting experiences in the GCC. Underpinned by USD 1 billion in available Japanese equity, Flux Halo represents a bold step toward creating one of the most technologically advanced and culturally impactful arenas in the world.

“At the heart of Trosmic Sports and Flux Halo lies a daring belief: that sport is our universal language, and this arena will be its most eloquent expression,” said Mr. Bhardwaj, Mentor and Conceptual Founder of Trosmic Sports.

“Here, every spotlight will illuminate not just athletic prowess, but the enduring human quest to push beyond the known”

While the final location remains under consideration within the GCC, Flux Halo is being positioned as a flagship venue to rival global icons such as London’s O2 Arena and New York’s Madison Square Garden.

With a target opening in mid-2030, Flux Halo is designed to accommodate up to 20,000 spectators within a fully configurable bowl, seamlessly shifting between football matches, basketball games, other sporting events, concerts, esports tournaments, and large-scale conventions. The stadium will feature 200,000 m² of column-free interior space, capped by a 75,000 m² retractable tensile roof to allow events to proceed comfortably year-round. Kotetsu Yamamoto, Chief Creative Director on the project, describes Flux Halo’s signature Möbius-inspired ribbon form as “an architectural embodiment of perpetual motion.” 

Wrapped in a 50,000 m² programmable LED mesh, the exterior will double as a digital canvas for immersive light shows, branding campaigns, and real-time statistics. The architecture of FLUXHALO is inspired by the crown of Athena – the goddess of wisdom and war, and the guardian of heroes across all sports. 

Kotetsu Yamamoto, Chief Creative Director, Flux Halo “Flux Halo was never meant to be just a stadium,” said Yamamoto. “It’s a visual statement and a modular system that adapts to the evolving culture around it.”

George Kunihiro, Director of Architecture & Planning, adds that “solar-harvesting LEDs, AI-driven climate control and rainwater-recycling systems will drive net-zero energy operations,” a benchmark few indoor arenas worldwide have achieved.

The announcement comes at a time when GCC nations are accelerating their efforts to diversify their economies beyond hydrocarbons, with billions being channelled into tourism, culture, and live entertainment events infrastructure. From Qatar’s World Cup-ready venues and Abu Dhabi’s Louvre and F1 Circuit to Saudi Arabia’s emerging cultural calendar, the region is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub. Yet, few concepts rival Flux Halo in scale, flexibility, or technological ambition.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the next great venue of our time,” said Vaibhav Sharma, Chairman of Trosmic Sports. “Flux Halo isn’t just about entertainment, it’s about regional pride, innovation, and creating something that leaves a legacy.”

Equity remains open to both regional and international investors. Ekta Nirmalkar, a Trosmic board director, notes that the venue’s diversified revenue streams, from luxury suites and ticketing to retail and naming rights, are projected to generate robust & recurring returns across a 10-year horizon. “With an anticipated 10 million visitors annually, Flux Halo is engineered for both cultural impact and commercial success,” she said.

Ankur Tandon, with over 15 years of experience in finance with American banks, joins the leadership team with a focus on operational execution. His background in accounting, mergers, and global strategy brings practical oversight to the project's broader ambitions.

Rohit Kumar, Director at Trosmic Sports, brings multi-sector leadership experience in institutional capital and cross-border business development. His role will focus on guiding long-term growth strategy for Flux Halo, with an emphasis on sustainable expansion and investor alignment.

To build momentum and finalise design elements, Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Kunihiro will lead a Japanese delegation to the UAE from June 29 to July 7, holding private briefings and exploratory site visits in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh.

A regional sports infrastructure consultant commented, “It’s rare to see an indoor arena concept that combines such advanced sustainability with event versatility. If realised as planned, Flux Halo could reshape the live-events landscape in the Middle East.

With its blend of cutting-edge design, immersive digital architecture, and future-focused financial strategy, Flux Halo is more than a venue. It’s a vision of the GCC’s next chapter, one built on ambition, innovation, and global resonance.

Yokogawa Collaborates with Shell on Robotics and AI Technology for Plant Maintenance

 - Streamlining operations and reducing risk in asset integrity management –

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yokogawa Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6841) announces that it has formalized a long-term agreement with Shell Global Solutions International B.V. (“Shell”) to integrate and further develop technologies for utilizing robots and drones in plant monitoring and maintenance. Under the agreement, Yokogawa will add an advanced machine vision tool called Operator Round by Exception (ORE), developed by Shell, into its own OpreX™ Robot Management Core. The enhanced software service will be made available by Yokogawa to customers in the energy, chemicals, and other industries.

ORE is a digital solution that uses machine vision and AI analytics to enable robots to autonomously perform a number of tasks in the operator round process, such as reading gauges and checking for leaks and machinery issues. It is the result of a two-year collaborative effort within Shell, which combined machine vision strategy with deep capabilities in the field of integrity management, remote site inspection, and corrosion management.

OpreX Robot Management Core is a key product in Yokogawa’s robot solutions. The software helps customers maintain their facilities in a safer and more efficient manner by integrating the management of various types of robots that perform plant maintenance tasks conventionally carried out by humans. When connected to a plant’s control and safety systems, the data acquired can be used to issue instructions to robots, thus enabling the first step to be taken toward autonomous plant operations. The addition of Shell’s ORE technology will significantly increase the number of use cases available to customers through OpreX Robot Management Core.

Moving forward, Yokogawa robotics operations will deploy at two Shell facilities as a pilot into how robotics and drones can deliver value through efficiencies in plant monitoring and maintenance.

This collaboration is the first key milestone for Yokogawa working alongside Shell in the collaboration space at the Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam, which was created by Shell in 2022 to provide a platform for collaboration between companies, societal organisations, governments, and universities to work on tomorrow’s energy solutions. Shell and Yokogawa have also agreed to collaborate on an aligned R&D roadmap to further develop and enhance the machine vision technology, ensuring continuous innovation and improvement. This collaboration underscores both companies' commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to the energy and industrial sectors.

Masaharu Maeda, Yokogawa Electric vice president, executive officer, and head of the company’s Solutions Business Division, stated, “We are very excited to be working with Shell on this key technology field that promises to address the workforce challenges facing plant owners by significantly improving the efficiency of rounds in the field, while also reducing the inherent risk to operators. We look forward to making it available to industrial facility owners globally in the near future and contributing to safer and more efficient workplaces.”

“Shell & Yokogawa have a proud history of developing together to enable advanced automation solutions for our sites. With this agreement, we are taking our relationship to the next level. Robotics solutions combined with AI provide the potential to create a step change in productivity and safety,” said Gerben de Jong, CIO for Shell Integrated Gas, Upstream and Projects & Technology.

SES Successfully Prices €1 Billion Dual-Tranche Bond Offering with Strong 5.5x Oversubscription

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES, ITS TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS, ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (THE UNITED STATES), OR TO ANY US PERSON (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933), OR IN OR INTO ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO DISTRIBUTE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.

SES S.A. today announced the successful launch and pricing of a dual-tranche note offering in which the company has agreed to sell senior unsecured fixed rate notes under its €5,500,000,000 EMTN Programme (the "Notes"). Settlement is expected to take place on 24 June 2025:

EUR 500 million of Notes will bear a coupon of 4.125% due in 2030.

EUR 500 million of Notes will bear a coupon of 4.875% due in 2033.

SES is rated Baa3, negative outlook by Moody’s and BBB, negative outlook by Fitch.

SES shall apply the net proceeds of the Notes towards its general corporate purposes, including, without limitation (i) financing all or part of the purchase price of the acquisition of Intelsat Holdings S.A. (“Intelsat” and Intelsat and its subsidiaries being the “Intelsat Group”) (the “Acquisition”) (including the payment of fees, costs and expenses in relation to the Acquisition) and/or (ii) refinancing existing indebtedness of the Group and/or (following closing of the Acquisition) the Intelsat Group.

Promptly following the Issue Date, SES intends to cancel the bridge facility in relation to the Acquisition in an amount at least equal to the net proceeds of the Notes.

SES also announces that, to further optimise the debt structure of the combined entity following the Acquisition, it intends to redeem (in aggregate) up to US$ 3 billion of the 6.500% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2030 issued by Intelsat Jackson Holdings SA ("SSNs") on, and conditional upon, closing of the Acquisition and settlement of the Notes. This will be achieved by the redemption of part or all of the SSNs in accordance with the optional redemption provisions governing the SSNs. Additionally, SES may from time to time conduct open market purchases of the SSNs.

Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley acted as Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners, together with Goldman Sachs International, ING, J.P. Morgan, Société Générale as Joint Bookrunners. The settlement is scheduled for 24 June 2025 and application has been made for the Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The securities were placed with a broad range of institutional investors across Europe and Americas region.

The successful, pricing of €1 billion dual-tranche bond offering, provides SES enhanced financial flexibility which in combination with an existing strong balance sheet gives SES sufficient liquidity to cover upcoming maturities. This reflects SES’s disciplined financial policy and commitment to investment grade metrics and sets the combined company on a strong footing for long-term balance sheet strength.

Sandeep Jalan, outgoing CFO of SES commented: “We are delighted with the successful conclusion of this bond note offering, which reflects the market’s strong confidence in SES as a quality investment grade credit. The impressive 5.5x oversubscription of the order book demonstrates the deep commitment of investors to SES’s strategic vision and long-term value creation. With the anticipated closing of the Intelsat transaction in H2 of 2025, this marks the final step in our market access related to the financing of the Intelsat acquisition—an important milestone in our growth journey.”

AtkinsRéalis Expands Award-Winning School of the Future Initiative Across UAE Schools

 AtkinsRéalis (TSX: ATRL), a world-class design, engineering services and nuclear company, has expanded its School of the Future initiative for the second consecutive year in the UAE. The initiative, which introduces students to sustainability, engineering, and technology through experiential learning, brought together participants from four leading schools for the 2025 finals held at Dubai English Speaking College (DESS) on 14 May.

Originally launched in the UK, the School of the Future engages students aged 14 to 16 in designing sustainable school campuses. This year’s UAE edition welcomed teams from Repton School, Jumeirah College, JESS Dubai, and Dubai English Speaking College (DESS). The initiative challenges students to think critically about environmental, social, and technological aspects of sustainability while encouraging them to create forward-thinking campus concepts built for the future.

“As this initiative continues to grow year on year, we are proud to see the strong interest and engagement from both students and educators alike in the UAE,” said Campbell Gray, CEO, Middle East, AtkinsRéalis. “By expanding the programme across more schools in the region, we hope to continue strengthening the link between industry and education by helping young people become future-ready leaders in sustainability and innovation.”

Throughout this project, students were mentored by AtkinsRéalis STEM Ambassadors and guided through a multi-dimensional learning journey. Teams developed sustainable, data-driven design proposals by leveraging AI and prioritised renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and water conservation, while also considering the social impact of their schools on surrounding communities.

The event concluded with a showcase held at DESS, where student teams presented their ideas to a panel of judges from different backgrounds. Presentations were evaluated based on innovation, collaboration, and the practical application of sustainable principles.

"Partnering with Atkins Realis for the School of the Future Competition has been a powerful opportunity to bring industry and education together,” said Laura Reidy, Head of Information, Advice and Guidance, Dubai English Speaking School (DESS). “Our students were inspired by the challenge to think big, design boldly, and reimagine what learning could look like for future generations. We're proud to be part of a collaboration that champions innovation, sustainability, and student voices."

With growing interest across the region, AtkinsRéalis plans to continue expanding the initiative to reach more schools and students in the Middle East. The initiative aligns with the company’s long-term sustainability strategy and contributes directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on education and sustainable communities.
