SEE Holding, Micropolis join forces to power Sustainable City 2.0 with AI

SEE Holding, the sustainability-driven powerhouse behind the globally recognised model of The Sustainable City, has announced a strategic partnership with Micropolis, the UAE-based company specialising in the design, and manufacturing of robotics and AI systems, to accelerate the integration of smart infrastructure within The Sustainable City 2.0 (TSC 2.0) – SEE Holding’s next-generation model that is AI-driven, net zero, and human-centric.

Unveiled earlier this month, (TSC 2.0) marks the evolution of SEE Holding’s globally recognised model for sustainable cities. Designed to think, adapt, and evolve, TSC 2.0 weaves artificial intelligence and smart technologies into the fabric of the city, enabling dynamic, real-time optimisation of resources and systems. This intelligent ecosystem enhances efficiency across critical pillars such as food security, energy, water, waste management, and mobility, while also advancing wellbeing, health, education, and innovation.

This partnership brings together The Sustainable City’s visionary approach to net zero living with Micropolis’s technological expertise of advanced robotics platforms, AI-powered surveillance systems, smart mobility applications, and edge computing nodes. It will support the deployment of intelligent infrastructure designed to enhance safety, optimise operations, and elevate the resident experience across SEE Holding’s growing portfolio of sustainable cities.

“With The Sustainable City 2.0, we are building an urban blueprint for a more intelligent, climate-resilient future,” said Faris Saeed, Chairman and CEO of SEE Holding. “Our strategic partnership with Micropolis will empower us to deliver seamless AI integration at the infrastructure level—creating smarter, more connected, and people-centric cities that reflect the needs of both current and future generations.”

“The Sustainable City gave us a real environment to test and refine our technologies, that played a key role in shaping our robotics platforms into what they are today,” said Fareed Aljawhari, CEO, Micropolis Holding Co. “With The Sustainable City 2.0, we’re proud to take this partnership to a global scale and deliver cutting-edge automation designed for the cities of tomorrow.”

For over a decade, The Sustainable City has set the global standard for climate-resilient urban living – achieving a 78% cut in emissions and 89% landfill diversion in Dubai. Celebrated as the GCC’s happiest community, the model has expanded across the region, with TSC 2.0 now taking the vision further as a scalable, AI-powered blueprint for future cities.
