At ABB, we believe that everything that runs well, can always be engineered to run better. From data centers to shipping and ports, from railways to buildings, and from manufacturing to renewables – we help industries run leaner and cleaner. Because in a world where simply running isn’t enough, we help industries outrun.

Since 2010, our electrification and automation technologies have been powering the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, as well as the famous Dubai Fountain. This is what we mean by ‘Engineered to Outrun’. 15 years later, we celebrated this milestone by lighting up Dubai’s skyline – a truly memorable moment for our brand.

Standing at 828 meters high with the capacity for 35,000 people at any given time, the Burj Khalifa demands smart, reliable solutions. From distributing electricity across 163 floors and 57 elevators to helping power and drive the Dubai Fountain, our technology keeps systems functioning day and night. We even provide critical lightning protection to safeguard the tower and the people around it.
