Johnson Controls, the global leader in smart, safe, healthy, and sustainable building solutions, is set to present its latest innovations at Connect | MENA - DCD Dubai 2025, scheduled for April 15-16, 2025, at JW Marriott Marquis, Dubai.

This premier event will bring together industry leaders, hyperscale and colocation operators, cloud service providers, and digital infrastructure experts to discuss emerging trends and solutions shaping the future of data centers.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the Middle East Data Centre Cooling Market is projected to grow from USD 0.19 billion in 2025 to USD 0.86 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 28.43 percent. The UAE, a regional leader in digital transformation and sustainability, is driving investments in smart cities, AI, and hyperscale data centers, solidifying its role as the Middle East’s cloud computing hub.

With under-construction IT load capacity reaching 3,534 MW and raised floor space expanding to 12.6 million sq. ft by 2030, MENA’s data-driven industries are experiencing rapid growth.

As the first regional nation committed to net zero by 2050, the UAE is integrating sustainability into its digital economy. Given data centers' high energy consumption, government initiatives in energy efficiency, AI-powered cooling, and green infrastructure set a regional benchmark.

“The UAE is leading the charge in digital transformation, setting ambitious sustainability targets while driving rapid expansion in AI, cloud computing, and hyperscale data centers,” said Devrim Tekeli, vice president and general manager for MEA at Johnson Controls. “As data center operators scale their facilities to support growing digital demands, Johnson Controls is uniquely positioned to provide future-ready solutions that are critical to optimizing energy use, ensuring operational resiliency, and enabling long-term sustainability.”

At Connect | MENA - DCD Dubai 2025, Johnson Controls will showcase its world-class solutions that align with the region’s data center efficiency and sustainability goals. These include:

• YORK YVAM air-cooled magnetic bearing chillers launch: A state-of-the-art thermal management solution that reduces power consumption, supports broader temperature ranges, and minimizes noise levels, making it ideal for high-performance data centers operating in extreme climate conditions.
• Metasys building automation system: A next-generation intelligent monitoring and automation platform designed to maximize uptime, enhance energy efficiency, and provide seamless control over critical infrastructure.
• Comprehensive fire and security solutions: Advanced fire detection and suppression technologies specifically designed for mission-critical environments, ensuring uninterrupted operations and risk mitigation.
• Service and support solutions: Tailored maintenance and optimization programs designed to extend equipment lifespan, improve operational performance, and enhance reliability.

Recognizing the UAE’s position as the region’s technology and sustainability hub, Johnson Controls is actively contributing to the next generation of energy-efficient and scalable data centers.

As the number of installed data center racks in the region is expected to increase drastically in the coming period, Johnson Controls remains committed to delivering scalable, high-performance infrastructure solutions that support both operational efficiency and sustainability.

With a strong focus on innovation, consistency, and globalization, Johnson Controls is empowering data centers in the MENA region to reduce the total cost of ownership, optimize cooling strategies, ensure uninterrupted performance, and reduce lead times.

Attendees at Connect | MENA - DCD Dubai 2025 will have the opportunity to engage with Johnson Controls experts and explore solutions that enable future-ready, sustainable digital infrastructure.
