Innovation in the UAE: Lessons from Dubai and Sharjah
As I continue my journey through Dubai and Sharjah this January, I’m inspired by the ambition and vision of the property developers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so far. The UAE is truly at the forefront of redefining what modern living looks like, balancing innovation, luxury, and practicality in ways that set global benchmarks.
One thing has become clear during my meetings: developers here understand the importance of standing out in a competitive market. Buyers aren’t just looking for homes—they’re looking for smart homes. Homes that adapt to their lifestyle, simplify their day-to-day, and enhance their overall living experience.
What Have I Learned?
- The appetite for smart solutions is growing.
Developers in Dubai and Sharjah are keen to embrace technology that meets the demands of today’s homeowners. However, I’ve also heard their concerns about adding complexity to build processes and budgets—a challenge Avande Select solves seamlessly. - Customisation is key.
Homebuyers in the UAE are discerning. They want choices that reflect their personal preferences, from lighting and blinds to WiFi and entertainment systems. This aligns perfectly with what Avande Select (The Smart Home Tech, Fitting, and Furnishings Portal) offers—a bespoke experience where homeowners can customise their homes to suit their lifestyle. - Future-proofing is a priority.
With the rapid pace of technological advancements, developers are looking for solutions that not only meet current market demands but also stand the test of time. Avande Select’s ability to constantly update and integrate new technologies ensures developments remain ahead of the curve.

Simplify processes: From floorplans to final integration, Avande Select handles the tech—so you don’t have to.
Looking Ahead
The UAE is paving the way for global property innovation, and it’s clear that developers here are ready to embrace the future. I’ve already had some fantastic conversations this month, and I’m excited to see how these collaborations will transform the region’s developments in the years to come.
