UXE Group sweeps top honours at Middle East Tech Awards 2025

From redefining holiday home stays with Keyless to safeguarding Dubai’s AED275b jewellery trade with Tawash, UXE is setting the pace for smart city innovation.

The UXE Group of Companies, under the leadership of Group CEO Mr Abdulla Al Suwaidi, proudly earned a double triumph at the Middle East Technology Excellence Awards 2025. UXE Security Solutions secured the IoT - Hospitality & Leisure award, whilst its sister company Emcode Technology was recognised with the Smart City - Security & Safety Award, reaffirming the Group’s position as a pioneer in smart city innovation and digital transformation.

Keyless: Redefining hospitality in the UAE

The accolade for UXE Security Solutions highlights the success of Keyless, the Group’s groundbreaking smart access management solution that is transforming the UAE’s hospitality sector.

By enabling guests to use their smartphones as keys, Keyless delivers seamless check-in experiences and hotel-style convenience for holiday homes, serviced apartments, and hotels. For property managers, Keyless provides complete remote control—managing occupant profiles, access rights, and multiple properties through a mobile or web platform.

Keyless stands out for its measurable impact on Dubai’s digital economy, with AED570m in added economic value, 7,200 tons of annual carbon emissions reduced, providing support for 15,000 holiday homes and 800,000 tourists every year, with 24/7 support, and enriched guest experiences through cross-app integrations.

With Keyless, UXE Security Solutions is reshaping hospitality in Dubai’s digital-first landscape, making property access simpler, smarter, and more sustainable.

Emcode Technology’s award-winning Tawash platform

Emcode Technology was honoured for its Tawash platform, a breakthrough in securing the movement of high-value goods such as gold, jewellery, and currency.

Powered by real-time location intelligence, geofencing, and automated compliance, Tawash ensures that every transfer is secure, transparent, and fully authenticated. For high-value transactions, the system mandates CITVs or security escorts, with routes verified through a geo-authentication layer.

The platform’s dual applications—the shop user app and the patrol inspector app—offer complete visibility, regulatory compliance, and accountability. Since its rollout, Tawash has enabled 40% faster transfer completions, reduced unauthorised diversions by 65%, and reinforced security in Dubai’s AED275b jewellery and money exchange industry.

By securing high-value trade with cutting-edge intelligence, Tawash strengthens Dubai’s reputation as a global hub for secure commerce and smart city excellence.

A shared vision for smarter cities

From hospitality innovations with Keyless to secure trade solutions with Tawash, the UXE Group continues to embody its vision of “Smart Solutions for Smart Cities.” These accolades reflect not only the Group’s technological leadership but also its contribution to Dubai’s ambition of becoming the world’s leading digital economy.
