HUZHOU CITY, China, Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LZ Technology Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: LZMH) (“LZ Technology” or the “Company”), an information technology and advertising company, today announced it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with MBH Investments (“MBH”) to evaluate a potential joint venture in the United Arab Emirates. Subject to results in the UAE, the parties may assess broader Middle East opportunities.

LZ Technology integrates smart access-control systems, a digital out-of-home media platform, and local life services within a unified platform designed for residential and commercial properties. The Company will prioritize localization, privacy-by-design, and compliance in any prospective UAE rollout.

Initial evaluation by both parties underscores the scale and strategic importance of the Dubai market, a regional hub with a substantial base of residential and mixed-use properties, advanced infrastructure, and supportive innovation frameworks. Additionally, Dubai shares key operating parallels with LZ Technology’s core China market. These similarities position LZ Technology to apply experience from its large installed base across thousands of communities in over 120 cities in China, while localizing the platform for UAE cultural and language requirements. Considering Dubai as the initial operating hub reflects the market’s depth and role as a launchpad for potential expansion across the Middle East.

As part of the MOU, with the help of MBH, the parties will launch a structured pilot initiative, led by MBH’s designated local operating company, to validate product-market fit, ensure regulatory compliance, and fine-tune system integration in real-world property settings. The initial pilot cohort is expected to include a number of representative communities across residential, mixed-use and office settings in Dubai, with property-manager participation and measured resident onboarding. Supported by LZ Technology’s large-scale deployment capabilities and Dubai’s similar community profile, the parties are modeling a planning case of up to 100,000 device installations over three years in the UAE. This forecast is non-binding and intended solely for indicative planning purposes.

“We’re moving forward with a structured pilot program with MBH to localize and validate our smart-community platform for the UAE,” said Theo Zhang, CEO of LZ Technology. “With MBH’s relationships and operating experience—and Dubai’s scale and innovation infrastructure—we see a clear path from pilot validation to large scale deployment across residential and mixed-use assets.”

“This partnership with LZ Technology is a strategic reflection of MBH’s mission to channel Chinese innovation into the Gulf’s most dynamic growth sectors,” said Marius Ciavola, CEO of MBH Investments. “We are bringing not only capital and senior leadership to the table, but also deep-rooted relationships with Dubai’s leading developers, regulatory bodies, and infrastructure stakeholders. The UAE is not just a testbed—it’s a scalable launchpad for regional transformation in smart living and integrated digital ecosystems.”
