Saudi Arabia to use 3D accident analysis technology
The center explained that the most prominent of these technologies is 3D scanning, which enables specialized teams to document accident sites with high accuracy, capture the position of the vehicle, and gather environmental details surrounding the accident site.
This technology enables the reconstruction of the accident site using 3D models with high accuracy and reliability, contributing to a more professional analysis of the causes and circumstances, and providing accurate information to decision-makers and stakeholders in the transportation and safety sectors.
This development comes as part of the center's ongoing efforts to adopt the latest technological capabilities and enhance the national safety system, in line with the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030 in the field of transportation safety.
The National Transport Safety Center is a Saudi center concerned with enhancing transportation safety levels and investigating transportation accidents.

Aramco collaborates in study on leveraging AI for carbon market integrity
The Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute has released a white paper exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) could improve transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in the voluntary carbon market. Done in collaboration with Aramco and Arthur D Little (ADL), 'AI-Enabled Carbon Markets: Identifying AI Solutions for the Voluntary Carbon Industry' also offers practical guidance for organisations working to meet carbon emissions reduction targets and addresses evolving challenges in the carbon market, such as project identification, cost overruns, and regulatory as well as market complexities. The white paper emphasises AI as a tool for overcoming issues like pricing transparency and the risk of greenwashing. It highlights AI's potential to contribute to enhancing the breadth, consistency, and integrity of carbon credits, with the aim of providing companies with greater confidence and precision in pursuing carbon emissions reduction. Richard Attias, CEO of FII Institute, commented: 'Our collaboration with Aramco and Arthur D Little reflects a shared goal of leveraging technology to enhance efficiency. This publication is a vital resource for any organisation focused on making credible, impactful advances in carbon emissions reduction through AI-driven carbon markets.' Musaab M Al Mulla, Aramco's Vice President of Market Analysis and Sustainability, added: 'We see the voluntary carbon markets as a unique and important lever in supporting a practical and orderly energy transition. However, for the market to reach its considerable potential to mitigate carbon emissions at scale, a number of key challenges will need to be addressed. 'This white paper showcases AI's potential role in helping to make carbon markets more transparent and efficient. Integrating AI could support organisations in enhancing the reliability and accountability of their carbon emissions reduction efforts.' The publication identifies four primary ways AI could help advance the voluntary carbon market: Carbon quantification: AI technology could potentially enhance the precision of carbon sequestration measurements, allowing for more accurate assessments of project impacts and better prioritisation. Transparency: AI is expected to enable real-time monitoring of carbon offset projects, providing verified emissions data that could contribute to building stakeholder trust. Integrity: The use of AI may mitigate the risk of greenwashing by identifying discrepancies between reported and actual carbon reductions, which could help bolster the credibility of carbon credits. Pricing forecasting: AI-driven models could offer dynamic, data-based valuations for carbon credits, with the aim to support market participants in making well-informed decisions. Carlo Stella, Managing Partner and Global Practice Leader for the Sustainability Practice at Arthur D Little, added: 'AI's role in carbon markets is essential for organisations aiming to achieve meaningful and measurable progress. This white paper highlights AI's potential to improve accuracy in carbon reduction measures, a critical factor to improve confidence among adopters.' The FII Institute is a global non-profit foundation driven by data with an investment arm and a one-point agenda – Impact on Humanity.

Saudi foodtech startup secures $39mln funding round for global expansion plans
Riyadh - Calo, the Middle East's largest foodtech startup, has raised $39 million (SAR 146.27 million) in a series B extension round, bringing the total funding to $64 million (SAR 240 million). Led by AlJazira Capital, Oraseya Capital, Nuwa Capital, STV, Khwarizmi Ventures, and Al Faisaliah Group, the transaction follows an initial $25 million tranche secured in December 2024, according to a press release. The oversubscribed round supports Calo's global expansion plans, integration of recent UK acquisitions, and continued investment in AI-powered personalized nutrition. The CEO and Co-Founder of Calo, Ahmed Al Rawi, commented: 'We're living in an interesting time where AI is transforming our lives, and we're excited to be investing in cutting-edge innovation to explore how Calo can use AI to influence the future of how we discover and eat healthy food.' He added: 'Being vertically integrated with the mission of 'Making Healthy Easy' gives us an edge to develop and scale world-class experiences not just regionally, but also globally.' Calo recently acquired UK-based meal subscription brands Fresh Fitness Food and Detox Kitchen, integrating them into its operations and marking the company's entry into the European market. The company, which now operates more than 10 physical locations across the GCC, grew over 50% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half (H1) of 2025. Calo is piloting Calo Black, an AI-powered private chef experience that uses large language models (LLMs) to understand individual customer preferences through natural conversation and craft personalized daily menus. It is worth noting that Calo partnered with premium gym operator Armah Sports Company to expand wellness and retail offerings through co-located outlets, cross-promotions, and product distribution across gym networks. Riyadh-headquartered Calo operates in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait, with expansion now underway in the UK.
