DRIFTx takes place November 10-12, 2025, at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The event, part of Abu Dhabi Autonomous Week and organized by the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council is the region’s flagship exhibition for smart and autonomous mobility, led by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO).
The event brings together global innovators, investors, and regulators to explore the future of mobility across air, land, sea, and robotics. Beam Middle East’s participation marks the first deployment of Beam Global products in the UAE. The EV ARC and BeamBike systems are ideally suited to the region’s sustainability goals, delivering renewable, rapidly deployable, and grid-independent charging infrastructure that supports EV and e-bike growth without construction, permitting, or grid connection.
“Beam Global is hitting the ground running in the Middle East with our new venture, Beam Middle East in Abu Dhabi” said Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global. “We have just delivered the first EV ARC, BeamBike and ARC Mobility systems to the region and they will immediately be on show at one of the premier autonomous and EV events of the year. This is a great opportunity to get our unique and highly relevant technology solutions in front of an audience of decision makers and buyers from across the Middle East and the rest of the world. We could not have asked for a better-timed opportunity.”
Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley and Ivan Tlačinac, Head of Beam Europe Operations, will attend the event to engage with government leaders, mobility innovators, and investment groups focused on advancing sustainable transport technologies across the Middle East. Mr. Wheatley has been invited to speak at the event and will deliver a presentation titled, “Powering Autonomy: Building Resilient, Electrified Cities for the Age of Intelligent Mobility.”
