Apave positions itself as a leading partner in the Middle East for managing technical, human, civil engineering, and environmental risks in the nuclear industry.

Our 40 year presence in the region reflects our long-term commitment to local stakeholders. With a network of 900 experts strategically located across six Middle Eastern countries, we ensure operational proximity and a deep understanding of our clients’ specific challenges.

The Middle East is playing an increasingly significant role in the development of nuclear energy, driven by flagship projects such as the Barakah power plant in the United Arab Emirates, where four reactors provide around 25% of the country’s electricity. Other initiatives are underway, particularly in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the strategic importance of nuclear energy in delivering stable, reliable, and sustainable power.

In this context, our mission is to support you in ensuring the highest standards of safety and security across various nuclear infrastructures.
