Flowciti Group Launches Integrated Smart City Ecosystem Across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and UAE

Flowciti Group officially debuted this January 2026 as a specialized holding company designed to drive smart city transformation across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Founded by prominent entrepreneur Omar Al Khan, the group integrates technology, operational execution, and user experience into a single urban ecosystem. This strategic move marks a significant evolution from traditional facility management toward a fully digitalized and connected urban environment.

The group consolidates four distinct entities to provide a turnkey solution for the region’s massive real estate developments. ParkPoint continues its established role in mobility, while Rokket handles hardware integration, YooPlatform manages digital user interfaces, and Viritti provides the human operational support. This unified approach aims to capture the transition of major regional projects from the construction phase into full daily operations throughout 2026.

In Saudi Arabia, Flowciti is positioned as a primary growth engine to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and its various Gigaprojects. The group plans to build on existing successes in Riyadh, such as Boulevard Riyadh City and Laysen Valley, by offering integrated IoT and payment systems. These solutions are designed to create a seamless experience for residents and visitors within the Kingdom’s rapidly expanding urban centers.

Bahrain will continue to serve as the group's headquarters and a primary testbed for emerging urban technologies. Leveraging its established presence at the Bahrain International Airport and other major assets, Flowciti will use the local market to refine its modular suite of digital solutions. This allows the group to test new service automation before scaling them to larger regional markets.

In the United Arab Emirates, Flowciti intends to focus on niche efficiency within high-density residential and commercial mixed-use developments. By entering this highly competitive market, the group seeks to prove that a combined tech and manpower model can outperform fragmented global vendors. Their strategy focuses on improving operational efficiency and sustainability in the UAE's established urban hubs.

CEO Omar Al Khan emphasized that the group’s vision is guided by the need for smarter, more connected cities. He stated that the objective is to support future-ready environments where technology and human operations are seamlessly integrated. This approach ensures that digital transformation yields tangible value for communities and institutions alike.

The 2026 timeline aligns perfectly with the transition of many regional mega-projects into their operational stages. As these developments begin welcoming residents and tenants, the demand for integrated management systems is expected to reach an all-time high. Flowciti’s hybrid model of technology and manpower provides a decisive competitive advantage in this rapidly evolving landscape.
