South Korea's EnergyX, a global leader in AI-driven energy self-sufficiency solutions for zero-energy buildings (ZEBs), has officially incorporated its Qatar entity, under the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) licence.

This strategic move establishes a permanent foothold for the company in one of the region’s most innovation-driven markets and initiates the next phase of its global expansion.

The newly incorporated entity will serve as the company’s dedicated base for research and development (R&D) in Qatar, enabling the localisation and advancement of its energy optimisation technologies.

With EnergyX now established in Qatar, the company is poised to advance its vision of intelligent infrastructure through strategic growth — combining world-class R&D with high-precision capital strategy to expand its regional and global footprint.

The decision to formalise operations in Qatar follows EnergyX’s February announcement at Web Summit Qatar 2025, where the company outlined its commitment to working with local partners to scale intelligent infrastructure solutions across the country.

During the Web Summit Qatar 2025, EnergyX had disclosed its plans to establish a major R&D centre in Qatar, committing to invest more than $100mn in the GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council) over the next five years.

“Establishing EnergyX is a foundational step in our long-term strategy to deepen R&D and drive scalable energy transformation in Qatar,” said Sean Park, global chief executive officer of EnergyX.

Alongside the incorporation, EnergyX has appointed Jean-Jacques Valery Dandrieux as co-chief executive officer of QFC unit of EnergyX.

Dandrieux will also serve as chief strategy officer of EnergyX globally, with a mandate focused on accelerating the company’s strategic growth through mergers and acquisitions, cross-border partnerships, and high-impact capital deployment.

Now in an operating role, Dandrieux’s focus will centre on inorganic growth—leading acquisitions, structuring sovereign partnerships, and building the cross-border frameworks necessary to integrate EnergyX’s energy intelligence technologies into large-scale infrastructure platforms.

“Qatar presents a uniquely advanced ecosystem for deploying next-generation infrastructure technologies,” said Dandrieux.

EnergyX (QFC) will act as the anchor for executing a targeted M&A and partnership strategy, consolidating Qatar’s energy optimisation value chain and scaling its platform in alignment with Qatar’s long-term development goals, he added.

With over 2,000 projects completed across the globe and 285 proprietary intellectual property assets, EnergyX enables developers and building owners to transform real estate assets into energy self-sufficient, high-efficiency systems.

EnergyX’s offerings are anchored in two core solutions — EnergyX Zero (AI-powered software and consulting for architectural design and operations) and EnergyX Systems (customisable Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) — enabling clients to meet global standards such as Zero-Energy Building (ZEB), LEED, RE100, and broader ESG (environment, social and governance) goals.
