Nokia provides optical technology for new subsea cable
The Medusa subsea cable system, an infrastructure project designed to boost AI, 5G and cloud connectivity in Europe and North Africa, is set to receive optical technology from Nokia. As part of the agreement, Nokia will supply key optical network equipment including its 1830 Global Express (GX) platform and ICE7 coherent optics engine to support the project, owned by Africa-based operator AFR-IX Telecom. The Medusa cable will span the Mediterranean, Atlantic and Red Sea regions, linking countries including Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya and Egypt. The deployment aims to address growing demand for bandwidth-heavy technologies across the region, such as AI, 5G and cloud infrastructure. Nokia stated the use of its ICE7 optical engine will allow the cable to transmit tens of terabits per second per fibre pair, offering high performance with improved cost and power efficiency. 'Medusa is laying the groundwork for a more connected and inclusive digital future', said Miguel Angel Acero, CTO and founder of Medusa. 'This partnership ensures we meet the demands of today while building a strong, future-ready infrastructure for tomorrow', he added. John Harrington, SVP at Nokia, shared the sentiment, stating that the partnership is set to bring 'new, faster and more reliable connectivity to millions of people' as well as support economic and digital development across the region.

Are we still talking about sustainability?
You've heard before that sustainability is fundamental to business growth, we are at a critical point in time and even marketing can play its part. This continues to be true, and the widespread adoption of sustainable marketing that we are seeing is set to profoundly and permanently transform the Middle East's industry. Fundamentally, the goal is to shift a change in consumer behaviour towards more responsible consumption and deeper, values-aligned brand connections. This, in turn, drives significant industry-wide shifts. Firstly, it accelerates product and supply chain innovation. The demand for sustainable products necessitates eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and the implementation of circular economy models like take-back schemes or on-demand manufacturing to minimise waste. Local production gains momentum, further reducing transportation emissions. Secondly, digital marketing is evolving to minimise its own environmental footprint. This includes prioritising energy-efficient web services, optimising content to reduce data storage, and shifting from physical to digital marketing materials. Thirdly, the market is witnessing the emergence and growth of entirely new eco-friendly sectors, from organic cosmetics and sustainable fashion to eco-tourism and green banking services. Companies authentically embracing sustainability will find new avenues for growth and diversification. Finally, there will be an increased emphasis on transparency and accountability. Companies will face pressure to provide verifiable sustainability reports and impact statements, fostering a culture where genuine commitment, not just rhetoric, defines success. This overall transformation aligns deeply with the national visions of GCC countries, supporting their goals for economic diversification, environmental preservation and social progress. Incorporating sustainability beyond carbon reduction While carbon reduction remains a critical aspect of sustainability, effective sustainable marketing extends beyond this single focus by embracing a holistic approach aligned with the United Nations' (UN's) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Marketers can broaden their impact by considering the social and governance dimensions of sustainability. Holistic SDG alignment in campaign execution: To authentically support the UN's SDGs that a brand has committed to, marketing teams must ensure that campaign execution – including media placement and advertising choices – reflects those same values. This means deliberately running ads on platforms, websites, and media networks that actively support or promote the same SDGs. For example, a brand aligned with SDG 4 (quality education) could prioritise ad buys on educational content platforms or publications that champion equitable access to learning. Brands committed to SDG 5 (gender equality) or SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) might choose to advertise on media that uplifts underrepresented voices, avoids exploitative content and maintains inclusive editorial standards. Similarly, environmentally focused brands supporting SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) can ensure their campaigns appear on sites with verified sustainability practices, ethical content guidelines or climate reporting initiatives. Aligning media partnerships with the brand's SDG values not only strengthens campaign credibility but also amplifies impact by directing resources toward like-minded ecosystems, reinforcing a values-driven marketing strategy from end to end. Authenticity and transparency: To avoid greenwashing, marketers must ensure all sustainability claims are specific, measurable, and verifiable. This involves publishing comprehensive sustainability reports, clearly outlining achievements and challenges, and engaging in honest storytelling that reflects the brand's genuine journey. Trust is built through actions, not just words. Educating and empowering consumers: Marketing campaigns can serve as powerful tools for consumer education, raising awareness about critical environmental and social issues. By informing consumers about their choices' impact and providing easy alternatives, marketers empower them to make more sustainable decisions. This could involve highlighting circular models, promoting product longevity or explaining ethical sourcing. Sustainable campaign execution: Beyond the message, the medium matters. Marketers can implement sustainable practices within their own operations. This includes prioritising digital-first content to minimise physical waste, utilising renewable or recycled materials for print campaigns, and optimising digital assets (e.g., smaller image sizes, efficient email campaigns) to reduce energy consumption. Event planning should also prioritise sustainability, from reusable materials to carbon offsetting travel. Stakeholder collaboration: Sustainable marketing is a collective endeavour. Marketers should actively engage all stakeholders – employees, suppliers, customers, and local communities – in their sustainability initiatives. This fosters a shared sense of responsibility and leverages diverse perspectives to create more impactful and authentic campaigns. In conclusion, the shift towards sustainable marketing represents a profound evolution for the industry, particularly in the Middle East. It is driven by informed consumers, ambitious national agendas and the inherent benefits of ethical business practices. By committing to a holistic approach that integrates the SDGs beyond carbon reduction, prioritises authenticity, educates consumers and adopts sustainable execution, marketers can not only drive commercial success but also play a pivotal role in shaping a more resilient, equitable and sustainable future for the region and the world.

DUBAI REEF Initiative Boosts Marine Life and Biodiversity in Local Waters
DUBAI REEF, a large-scale, purpose-built reef project, is already demonstrating measurable ecological benefits in Dubai's coastal waters. Underwater footage from the project's proof-of-concept site reveals an increase in marine activity, with growing habitats and a surge in fish populations. Surveys recorded a notable rise across 15 native species, such as groupers, snappers, and barracuda. The initiative has achieved a 10% boost in marine biodiversity and an eightfold increase in fish biomass, highlighting its early success in restoring marine ecosystems. Launched in 2024, the initiative aims to deploy 20,000 reef modules across 600 km² by 2027, with 39% of the modules already fabricated and 3,660 deployed so far. DUBAI REEF is structured around three pillars: Marine Habitat Restoration, Marine Life Rehabilitation, and Marine Conservation Research. The initiative is part of the Dubai Can sustainability movement and was launched under the direction of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. It is powered by a public-private partnership that includes DET, DECCA, DP World, Dubai Chambers, Nakheel, PCFC, and Emirates. DUBAI REEF also supports several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Climate Action (SDG 13), Life Below Water (SDG 14), and Partnerships (SDG 17).
