All-electric aircraft company Joby Aviation has secured three separate agreements with departments of Abu Dhabi’s government that lay the groundwork to develop and scale air taxi services in the Emirate and beyond.

The deal was signed at the recent DRIFTx thought-leadership and exhibition platform and gave Joby exclusive rights to not only operate air taxi services in Dubai but also unlock inter-emirate services between Abu Dhabi.

Joe Ben Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation, said: “Today’s agreement demonstrates the incredible momentum behind the adoption of clean flight across the UAE. We’re looking forward to delivering a fantastic experience for our future customers in Abu Dhabi and we’re excited to be unlocking the potential for zero-emissions flight between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We’re grateful for the support and collaboration of our governmental partners and the entire ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and we remain deeply impressed by their commitment to building out a world-class aviation ecosystem in the Emirate”.

Joby’s all-electric aircraft went on display for the first time in Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina at the DRIFTx event. The air taxi is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour (321 km/h). The zero-emission craft is said to have an extremely low acoustic footprint and can travel a maximum of 100 miles (161 km) on a single charge.

Once operational, Joby’s air taxi fleet would enable fast, clean travel across the UAE, with journeys between Abu Dhabi to Dubai taking just 30 minutes compared with two hours by car during peak times.

Joby continues to work closely with the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to help the Emirates become a world leader in the introduction of air taxis. Additional testing and analysis will be required before inter-emirate travel becomes a reality, but the cutting-edge technology already appears to have great potential.

uae-based hupe unveils 3-stage health optimization program

Hupe, a UAE-based health optimization platform, has introduced its comprehensive 3-Stage Program — a strategic, personalized approach to wellness that combines cutting-edge diagnostics with expert guidance and state-of-the-art health technology.

This program is designed to move beyond conventional healthcare, which often uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, Hype offers its members a structured yet flexible system that enhances both physical and mental performance while proactively addressing potential health risks.

A New Era Of Personalized Health

Stage 1: Discovery

A Hupe user’s journey begins with in-depth diagnostic testing, covering over 100 blood biomarkers, food allergies, and intolerances. Members also consult an Integrative Medicine Doctor, who conducts a detailed health assessment. These insights form the foundation for a personalized Health Insights Program, setting the stage for the next phase.

Stage 2: Personalization

With a tailored Health Insights Program in place, members receive expert guidance from a dedicated team of specialists, including Integrative Medicine Doctors, Clinical Nutritionists, Mindset Coaches, and Sports Medicine Experts.

Depending on individual needs, advanced diagnostics — such as DNA analysis, gut microbiome profiling, hormonal assessments, mycotoxin screening, and DEXA scans — may be integrated. Continuous glucose monitoring and wearable health devices feed real-time data into the Hupe App (for iOS and Android), offering a dynamic roadmap to optimized wellbeing.

Stage 3: Optimization

The final phase is a 12-month membership designed to maintain and build on the progress made in Stage 2. The customized approach allows members to continually enhance their health, extend longevity, and perform at their peak, backed by expert support and a wealth of data.

“Hupe’s 3-Stage Program is designed for those who expect more than a generic health plan — they want precision, personalization, and measurable results,” says Sami Malia, Hupe’s founder. “I created Hupe out of my own frustrations. As a former C-suite executive battling Stage 3 cancer and chronic health issues, I struggled to find a healthcare provider that looked beyond symptoms to address the root cause. So, I spent two years researching the best diagnostic tests, laboratories, and medical experts worldwide to bring them together under one roof”.

Unlike conventional medicine, which usually focuses on treating symptoms, Hupe’s proactive model identifies potential risks and optimizes health before problems arise. In addition, because every Hupe member receives a customized health strategy tailored to their unique biology, lifestyle, and goals, guesswork is eliminated, ensuring each plan aligns precisely with an individual’s physiology and genetics.
