Levidian Applied Technologies Established at UAE Hub to Meet Rising Regional Graphene Demand

The Middle East is a key growth region for Levidian - offering significant opportunities for investment, innovation and deployment of our LOOP technology. In 2024, we officially established our presence in Abu Dhabi with the opening of our new office. This momentum continues to accelerate, driven by strategic partnerships and ground-breaking projects across decarbonisation and graphene. 

As a result, we are pleased to announce that Dr Arun Prakash Aranga Raju - from our highly skilled Levidian Applied Technologies team - has recently relocated to our UAE base to support the increasing regional demand for graphene solutions. 

Levidian Applied Technologies (LAT) is our dedicated in-house team of graphene scientists and experts. This exceptional team drives our work in graphene research, providing outstanding technical support to customers, whilst enabling tailored graphene products and integration solutions to aid graphene adoption and add value. 

With a PhD in Nanomaterials and a strong background in advanced materials science, Arun brings a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience to our operations in the Middle East. His expertise spans the development, characterisation and the application of graphene, making him a vital asset as we continue to expand our footprint in this rapidly growing market. 

“Being based in Abu Dhabi presents a great opportunity to work closer with our partners and accelerate innovation in graphene applications across the region,” said Arun. “I look forward to contributing to the exciting developments ahead and joining Levidian’s brilliant team in the region.”

Arun is committed to providing localised technical support and world-class materials innovation, whilst maintaining and enhancing the strong link to our UK-based graphene team operating out of our headquarters in Cambridge, and at our partner location in Manchester. Arun’s presence in the region strengthens our ability to collaborate with clients and stakeholders on the ground and drive forward our mission to advance graphene solutions in the Middle East.
