dubai teams up with elon musk's boring company for dubai loop

Dubai is making a bold move toward futuristic transportation after announcing that its Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will team with Elon Musk’s The Boring Company to develop the “Dubai Loop.” The collaboration was revealed during the recent World Governments Summit, an annual event that gathers global leaders to discuss future innovation.

The proposed Dubai Loop will span 17 kilometers underground and include 11 stations, aiming to transport over 20,000 passengers per hour. Operating with driverless electric vehicles, the system promises a rapid, congestion-free travel experience — similar to the Las Vegas Loop.

According to The Boring Company, the Dubai Loop will function as a point-to-point system, allowing passengers to reach their destination directly without intermittent stops. With speeds reaching up to 160 km per hour (100 mph), the system will offer a fast and efficient alternative to traditional public transport.

Elon Musk confirmed the partnership via video link at the World Governments Summit, describing the project as a way for travelers to move through Dubai like passing through a “wormhole” — eliminating long distances and traffic congestion.

Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, who led the discussion with Musk, highlighted the project’s potential impact. “The Loop project is going to cover Dubai’s most densely populated areas for people to go from point to point in a seamless manner. We hope to change people’s lives”.

During the discussion, Musk, who is also leading the Trump administration’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) emphasized the need for streamlined government processes and technological advancements in governance. He noted that efficient tunnel-based transport offers a safer and more practical alternative to emerging concepts like flying cars and UAVs.

Once operational, the Dubai Loop will connect key areas across the city, significantly cutting travel times and revolutionizing urban mobility.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

a three-clinic network bets dubai is ready for longevity medicine

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
