Aug 28, 2025
In the first episode of a two-part podcast series, Chiranjib Sengupta sat down with Joseph El Bitar, Vice President and General Manager of Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence in Middle East and Africa, to discuss how enterprise asset management (EAM) can help reinvent urban governance in the Middle East and beyond. At a time when the region is experiencing one of the fastest urban transformations in the world, Joseph explains how organisations can manage this complexity intelligently, proactively and sustainably through the Living City concept. He also highlights how Hexagon’s EAM platform connects with assets across urban departments not just to collect data but to analyse it, automate tasks and recommends smart solutions.
