KAEC and Strataphy Forge a Path to Sustainable Urban Cooling: A Landmark Partnership in Geothermal Innovation By:  Robert Buluma In a significant step forward for sustainable urban development in Saudi Arabia, Emaar, The Economic City (KAEC ) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Strataphy, a leading Saudi deep-tech startup specializing in geothermal cooling solutions. Announced recently, this collaboration aims to explore the large-scale deployment of advanced geothermal cooling technologies across KAEC’s expansive facilities and tenant ecosystem. The partnership focuses on introducing innovative “Cooling as a Service” models that promise to enhance operational efficiency, dramatically reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and support scalable, future-ready infrastructure. This initiative aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals and the broader Saudi Green Initiative. King Abdullah Economic City: The Foundation for...

Strataphy and Baker Hughes Forge Strategic Alliance to Accelerate Geothermal Cooling and Saudi Arabia’s Energy Transition By: Robert Buluma Saudi Arabia’s journey toward a low-carbon, diversified energy future has taken a decisive step forward with the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Strataphy and global energy technology leader Baker Hughes. Announced in Khobar in December 2025, the partnership signals a powerful convergence of deep-tech innovation and industrial-scale execution,aimed squarely at accelerating geothermal cooling and advancing the Kingdom’s broader energy transition agenda. At a time when cooling demand is surging across the Middle East,driven by rapid urbanization, giga-projects, data centers, and industrial expansion,this collaboration positions geothermal energy not merely as an alternative, but as a cornerstone technology for sustainable infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. A Landmark Agreement with Strategic Implications Under the MoU,...

Strataphy Raises $6 Million to Revolutionize AI & Industrial Cooling with Geothermal Innovation November 25, 2025 Author:  Robert Buluma In a major boost for sustainable infrastructure, Strataphy , a cutting-edge deep-tech company, has raised $6 million in seed funding to scale its revolutionary geothermal-based cooling technology across the Middle East and other high-temperature regions. The round was led by Outliers VC and Shorooq Partners , with additional participation from PlusVC . As artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and industrial facilities continue to expand, cooling has become one of the biggest bottlenecks , especially in hot climates. In the Middle East, cooling consumes nearly 50% of total electricity use and constitutes a massive $120 billion market , with Saudi Arabia alone accounting for $13 billion . PrimeLoop™: Cooling Powered by Deep Subsurface Energy At the heart of Strataphy’s breakthrough is PrimeLoop™ , a proprietary subsurface cooling...
