Dr. Ali bin Amer Al Shidhani, Oman’s deputy minister for communications and information technology, toured Kingsoft Office’s booth at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and tested the company’s latest AI agents-Lingxi Professional and WPS Comate. Both sides discussed WPS’s integrated cloud-and-device architecture, how WPS 365 could meet data-security requirements for government and enterprise clients in the Middle East, and the outlook for AI office software adoption in Oman. Dr. Al Shidhani praised Kingsoft Office’s approach to enterprise AI—keeping it under control, and putting it to real use. He said he hopes to bring WPS’s AI tools into Oman’s telecommunications sector and government digitization efforts, and to deepen digital-industry ties across the Gulf.

Over 100 countries and territories will wear custom adidas national jerseys at the Esports Nations Cup (ENC), equipping every team competing across 16 of the world’s most popular esports titles. The inaugural four-week event is set to take place starting November 2, 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. National team jerseys will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Rather than viewing the summer break as time away from learning, Dubai has turned it into an opportunity to strengthen prevention, discipline, safety awareness and positive values among young people through Dubai Police’s Hemaya International Centre. This year, the centre’s Summer Student Programme graduated 1,402 students from 31 nationalities, bringing the total number of graduates since 2018 to 10,792 students representing 175 nationalities. The initiative is part of Dubai’s wider vision of creating a safe, resilient and future ready society by investing in young people through preventive education, practical skills and community partnerships.

Our goal is to enable the global flow of compute, and that means every cluster we deliver has to perform, no matter where the capacity comes from. Standardizing on WEKA NeuralMesh has given our customers hyperscaler-grade consistency with open-market flexibility at the storage and memory layer, where performance is won or lost,” said Wil Moushey, CEO at Andromeda. “Idle GPUs are throttling the pace of AI innovation. WEKA helps us ensure every GPU we manage is earning its keep.”

During the first six months of this year, e& recorded strong growth in its consolidated revenue, reaching AED 38.1 billion, representing an increase of 11.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY). Consolidated net profit reached AED 6.0 billion, marking YoY growth of 2.4 per cent, excluding the gain on the sale of Khazna and the impact of the Maroc Telecom (MT) settlement in 2025.

Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, introduces the DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM to support the rapid growth of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and robotics applications. With an industry-leading data rate of 12800 MT/s, this advanced memory module delivers exceptional bandwidth efficiency and scalability to meet the growing processing demands of AI-driven innovations. Breaking the Memory Wall with Advanced Architecture. The growing complexity of AI and HPC workloads has exposed the limitations of traditional memory architectures, often referred to as the “memory wall”—a bottleneck where memory bandwidth fails to keep up with processing speeds, leading to inefficiencies. The DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM overcomes this challenge with its innovative Multiplexed Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) and Multiplexed Data Buffer (MDB) architecture. By enabling simultaneous two-rank access, this breakthrough design increases bandwidth by 60% compared to traditional DDR5 8000 MT/s RDIMMs, significantly improving data transfer speeds and computational efficiency. By reducing the load on the memory controller and lowering latency, this module enhances AI model training, large language models (LLMs), and robotic automation applications. Optimized for AI and Data-Intensive Workloads. AI workloads require faster and more efficient memory solutions. The DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM eliminates memory bottlenecks, ensuring that CPU and GPU speeds are not hindered by slow memory access. Its high

At the heart of the DUALCOOL AI experience is its Dual Vane technology, which sends airflow both upward and downward at once to cool a room evenly and quickly, up to 23 percent faster than LG’s previous single vane models. For larger or open plan spaces, the unit’s Long Air Flow projects cooled air up to 22 metres, helping comfort reach every corner of the room, not just the seats closest to the unit.

The ITU’s AI for Good Lab forms part of the implementation agenda of the United Nations AI for Good Impact Initiative, helping developing and emerging economies move beyond isolated AI pilot projects and build the policy, skills and public infrastructure needed to deploy locally relevant AI solutions responsibly and at scale. Announced during the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 in Geneva, the Lab brings together three interconnected areas of support: national AI readiness and policy, skills development and public AI infrastructure.

Quidax, the first digital assets exchange to receive a provisional licence from Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), today announced the expansion of its stablecoin infrastructure to more than 21 countries and 14 currencies, enabling startups, fintechs, and global enterprises to move value seamlessly across Africa and key international markets. Africa loses an estimated $5 billion annually to cross-border payment fees and inefficiencies. When a business in Accra, Ghana pays a partner in Durban, South Africa through traditional channels, that payment is routed through a correspondent bank in Europe, a journey that can take up to 7 days and costs up to 13% of the transaction value, more than twice the global average of 6%.
