1VALET Corp, the Canadian leader in smart building solutions, is set to enter the UAE to redefine urban living. Its proprietary hardware and building operating software solution will introduce a feature-rich, innovative urban lifestyle ecosystem that will maximise convenience, minimise waste and create new revenue streams for developers and asset managers.
