June Edition 2021

45 In another first, Israel signed a first-of-its-kind agreement with the UAE in June to launch a joint Israeli-Emirati Water Research Institute in an effort to bring clean water to the UAE and other regions. The institute is a product of a strategic commercial collaboration between Watergen, an Israeli water technology company, and Baynunah, a sister company of Al Dahra Group, an Abu Dhabi-based agriculture group specializing in food security. Founded in 2009, Watergen has developed an innovative patented technology that produces high-quality drinking water from the air. Where there is water there is life, where there is air, there is hope. Let 2021 continue with the same optimism.
