Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley Fireside Chat at DRIFTx in Abu DhabiWednesday, November 10th at 14:00 - 14:30
Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation, energy security and smart city infrastructure, announced today that Beam Middle East will showcase its EV ARC™ solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging system and BeamBike™ off-grid eBike charging system at DRIFTx, taking 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).
DRIFTx 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 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.”
Session Focus
As cities worldwide accelerate toward electrified and autonomous mobility, the infrastructure that underpins them must evolve to be resilient, adaptive, and sustainable. The transition to intelligent mobility is not just about technology — it’s about building urban systems capable of withstanding climate pressures, grid disruptions, and rapid population growth while advancing a low-emission future. This fireside chat will explore how electrification and distributed energy innovations can reshape the way cities power autonomy — from transport networks to urban energy ecosystems. The discussion will highlight the role of public-private partnerships, renewable infrastructure, and scalable models that can help cities like Abu Dhabi build the foundation for long-term resilience, efficiency, and innovation leadership.
Date and time of talk: November 10th at 14:00 – 14:30.
