Organised by GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest tech, AI, and startup event network across continents, Ai Everything MEA is positioned as the Middle East and Africa’s most empowering global AI tech week.

Hosted by Egypt’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and held in strategic partnership with the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), Ai Everything MEA convenes leading AI enterprises, startups, thought-leaders, and decision-makers from over 60 countries. 

The event will spotlight AI use cases and frontier technologies across priority sectors aligned with Egypt’s national AI agenda and sector leadership unique to the country, including outsourcing and shared services, semiconductor design, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, manufacturing, digital health, fintech, energy, education, and digital public services.

By hosting Ai Everything MEA, Egypt reinforces its role as a regional nexus for AI collaboration, connecting global expertise with national priorities to fast-track deployment. Backed by strategic investments in digital capabilities, the country is advancing its digital economy mission and attracting international deep-tech investment.

Dr. Amr Talaat, Minister of Communications and Information Technology stated: “Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the architecture of global competitiveness, and Egypt is determined to not only adapt to this shift – but to shape it. Our National AI Strategy reflects a bold vision: to position Egypt as a leading force in responsible AI adoption, policy innovation, and inclusive digital development.

Egypt is poised to play a pivotal role in advancing AI for public good across our region. Ai Everything Middle East & Africa offers a timely platform to align global expertise with national priorities — and to accelerate meaningful deployment of AI across sectors that matter most to our citizens.”

Additionally, Eng. Ahmed El Zaher, CEO of ITIDA, commented: “The launch of Ai Everything MEA marks a strategic milestone in our journey to position Egypt as a regional AI leader and a hub for innovation and co-creation. This event embodies our commitment to placing Egypt at the heart of the global tech conversation – by attracting deep-tech investments, empowering local startups, and nurturing an ecosystem where transformative ideas turn into real-world solutions. Hosting this global summit in Cairo reinforces Egypt’s ambition to be a key contributor in shaping the future of AI, forging impactful partnerships that scale technology from our region to the world.”

Trixie LohMirmand, EVP of Dubai World Trade Centre, global organizer of GITEX, further added: AI has leveled the digital playing field, and new opportunities are emerging for countries. Egypt is intent on harnessing this tech phenomenon to regenerate its social fabric and economic landscape, forging a future where innovation uplifts its citizens and redefines the nation’s global stature.  Ai Everything MEA shall be the force multiplier to support Egypt’s most strategic AI mission to build empowering outcomes at scale.”

Egypt’s AI Transformation: From Strategic Mission to Global Marketplace

The event opens with a high-level summit in a two-day immersive exhibition designed to accelerate collaborative AI research and development, industry applications, startup scaling, global investment inflows, and digital capacity-building. Tech giants driving AI progress in the region and worldwide, such as Atos, Cyshield, HPE, and IBM, shall join the flagship AI event in Egypt.

Over 200 venture capitalists from the GITEX network, managing more than US$1 trillion in assets, are expected to explore investment opportunities in Egyptian and regional startups. One of the region’s largest youth-tech academy will also be launched, channeling fresh engineering talent into pilot projects and mentorship programs – empowering Egypt’s annual pool of over 750,000 university graduates.

Dubai Investments and Angola’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) Sign Strategic Agreement for Real Estate Development in Angola

Dubai Investments and Angola’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) Sign Strategic Agreement for Real Estate Development in Angola

Dubai Investments, a leading diversified investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) has signed a strategic agreement with Angola’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) to jointly develop large-scale real estate projects in Luanda Province, Angola.

The agreement, signed in Luanda, reflects a shared vision to promote a new cycle of investments in modern urbanization and sustainable development across the Angolan capital, with an initial focus on the development of Cazanga Island within the Luanda Archipelago.

Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments signed the agreement with Armando Manuel, Chairman of the Board of FSDEA. Also present was Angola’s Secretary of State for Urban Planning, Manuel Canguezeze, representing the Minister of Public Works and Urbanism.

Commenting on the agreement, Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, said: “This is an important milestone for Dubai Investments as the Group expands its footprint internationally. Dubai Investments first entered the Angolan market with the development of DIP Angola, an integrated mixed-use hub inspired by the Group’s highly successful flagship development in the UAE. This agreement with FSDEA marks the Group’s second venture in the country and provides a strong platform to further extend Dubai Investments real estate expertise. With a 30-year legacy of delivering ambitious projects, the Group is proud to contribute to the development of modern, sustainable communities in Luanda and reinforce its commitment to supporting Angola’s urban development journey.”

As part of the agreement, the Angolan Sovereign Fund will participate in the investment through a special purpose vehicle that will hold the land rights for the designated areas. This structure enables Dubai Investments to contribute its development expertise towards transforming land already identified for real estate into modern, sustainable communities — unlocking value for Angola’s urban and tourism potential.

The first phase of the collaboration will focus on the development of Cazanga Island within the Luanda Archipelago, creating new opportunities for urban, residential, and tourism-led projects in Angola.

Armando Manuel, Chairman of FSDEA, added: “The signing of this agreement strengthens the Sovereign Wealth Fund’s commitment to mobilizing international capital and know-how for the development of high-impact real estate and tourism projects in the country. We believe that the real estate sector, combined with tourism, has tremendous potential to transform the urban profile of our capital, enhancing its natural resources, coastline, and rich cultural heritage.”

Angola’s Secretary of State for Urban Planning, Manuel Canguezeze, representing the Minister of Public Works and Urbanism, emphasized: “This agreement is very important as it will add value to the area and bring architectural and scenic quality to the capital city. It will also bring real estate investment that will improve the quality of properties that the city of Luanda needs.”

The partnership highlights Dubai Investments’ growing global presence and reflects the UAE’s broader vision of strengthening cross-border partnerships that drive sustainable growth, investment diversification, and urban innovation.

Sana Al Reem seeks investors for Iraq hygiene joint venture – MD

Sana Al Reem seeks investors for Iraq hygiene joint venture - MD
Sana Al Reem seeks investors for Iraq hygiene joint venture - MD
Sana Al Reem, an Iraq-based importer and distributor of food stuff, is looking for investors for a planned hygiene joint venture (JV) in Iraq, co-founder and managing director Harith Hussein told Mergermarket.
As part of its strategy to diversify income, Sana Al Reem plans to establish a hand soap and cleaning products manufacturing facility as a JV, Hussein said, adding that the planned JV will sit on a 3,000-square metre site and will initially produce two types of hand soap.
[Is this land that Sana Al Reem already owns?]
Advisors representing potential JV investors are welcome to approach the company, he  noted.
Total JV investment is estimated at around USD 10m. Sana Al Reem will contribute land, part of the funding and marketing support, while the JV investor is expected to provide capital and operational expertise in the cleaning and hygiene sector. The venture could be structured as a 50/50 partnership or with a flexible shareholding arrangement, according to the director.
[“Sana Al Reem will contribute… part of the funding…” – Any idea how much?]
The company is seeking to partially fund its contribution through local bank loans, though Hussein noted that the approval process in Iraq can be lengthy, the director said, noting that Sana Al Reem generates annual revenues of about USD 10m.
The joint venture could later expand the product portfolio beyond hand soaps as the business scales, he added.
Hussein described the JV plans as a natural step for the group, which intends to use its established sales channels, logistics network and brand reputation to support the JV.
The move will allow the company to diversify revenues, while relying on the same warehousing and distribution system it uses for food, supported by its experience in raw materials sourcing, processing, and retail partnerships, as well as its focus on hygiene and quality standards, he explained.
Hand soap represents about 90% of Iraq’s cleaning products market, underscoring the scale of demand. Products from the new plant are expected to compete with those of international hygiene brands, as Iraq currently imports most of its hygiene goods, with only small workshops and very basic factories operating in the segment, he added.
[Do we know how much Iraq’s cleaning products market is worth?]
The company, which employs around 140 people, operates as a food importer and distributor, sourcing directly from manufacturers and supplying through a wide delivery network, according to the director.
Established more than 17 years ago, Sana Al Reem specialises in food imports, packaging and distribution, sourcing from 32 countries and offering a portfolio of over 750 products, according to its website.
[Do we know who owns Sana Al Reem – presumably Harith Hussein has a large stake; who is/are the other co-founder(s)?]
