Microsoft to lay off up to 9,000 employees

Microsoft is laying off as much as 4%, or roughly 9,100, of its employees in the largest round of job cuts since 2023, the Seattle Times reported on Wednesday. The company, which had about 228,000 employees worldwide as of June 2024, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The tech giant was planning to cut thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, according to a Bloomberg News report in June. Microsoft had also announced layoffs in May, which affected around 6,000 employees. Corporate America has kicked off a series of job cuts across sectors as companies attempt to streamline operations amid economic uncertainties, following similar cutbacks seen last year.

Telecom Egypt completes two landings of subsea cable system

Telecom Egypt, which is listed on the Egyptian stock exchange, has completed two landings of the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 6 (SEA-ME-WE-6) subsea cable system in Egypt. The landings were in Port Said on the Mediterranean coast and Ras Ghareb on the Red Sea via two diversified trans-Egypt terrestrial crossing routes, the telco said in a statement on Wednesday. The move is expected to further strengthen connectivity across the region once it becomes operational. SEA-ME-WE-6 is the sixth edition of the SEA-ME-WE cable system family. It connects Singapore (Tuas) to France (Marseille), crossing Egypt's territory terrestrially. US-based SubCom is the contractor responsible for building the subsea cable system. Upon completion, the SEA-ME-WE-6 cable system will establish a connection between Africa, Asia, and Europe through its 17 landing points. Spanning a distance of 21,700 km, the system's consortium comprises 16 subsea cable providers, including Telecom Egypt, BEYON (Bahrain), Bangladesh Submarine Cables, Bharti Airtel (India), China United Network Communications Group, Dhiraagu (Maldives), Djibouti Telecom, Microsoft (US), Mobily (Saudi Arabia), Orange (France), PCCW Global, Singtel (Singapore), Sri Lanka Telecom, Telekom Malaysia, Telin (Indonesia), and Trans World Associates (Pakistan).

Abu Dhabi, Dubai among top emerging data centre markets in 2025, reveals report

Image: Getty Images/ For illustrative purposes Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been ranked as the world's top two emerging data center markets, according to Cushman & Wakefield's 2025 Global Data Center Market Comparison report, reflecting the UAE's growing role in global digital infrastructure investment. Among 97 markets surveyed, Abu Dhabi and Dubai placed first and second respectively, assessed across 20 key variables including power availability, fiber connectivity, development pipeline, and land pricing. 'There's a clear link between long-term infrastructure planning and current market performance,' said Edward Macura, country head at Cushman & Wakefield Core. 'Abu Dhabi and Dubai have created the conditions for scale, and global operators are responding.' UAE's data centre capacity to rise The UAE currently hosts over 250MW of live data centre capacity, with an additional 500MW in active development. The Stargate UAE project in Abu Dhabi — backed by OpenAI, Oracle, and Nvidia — is expected to deliver 5GW at full capacity. In Dubai, telecom operator du and Microsoft are advancing a $540m hyperscale facility. Read: Cloud service providers increasing operations in the UAE Cloud service providers including AWS, Alibaba, and Equinix are expanding operations in both emirates. The UAE data centre market was valued at $1.26bn in 2024 and is forecast to grow to $3.33bn by 2030. Backing this growth are major capital commitments: Abu Dhabi's ADQ and Energy Capital Partners are investing $25 billion into power infrastructure, while MGX, Microsoft, and BlackRock are supporting a $30bn AI-driven initiative. Macura noted that institutional capital is responding to the market's track record. 'Developers are meeting deadlines, occupiers are pre-leasing, and supporting infrastructure is being delivered in parallel,' he said. The Stargate UAE campus is expected to deliver its first 1GW by 2026. Khazna's 100MW AI facility in Ajman is also on track for phased delivery within 24 months. As demand for AI and cloud infrastructure intensifies, the UAE is positioning itself as a resilient and scalable digital hub. 'The level of interest we're seeing isn't temporary,' Macura added. 'The UAE has reached the point where it offers both operational reliability and future capacity — those are the markets that will outperform over time.'
