Aiming to build an integrated circular economy project in the food and textile sectors in the country Bin Touq: The Ministry remains committed to advancing circular economy practices across the country. The new partnership is a strategic step towards consolidating the UAE's position as a leading hub for sustainable development. Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Economy and Tourism signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with WORKSTUDIO CORPORATION, a Japanese company, to develop an integrated circular economy framework aligned with the UAE Circular Economy Agenda 2031. This strategic collaboration aims to enhance the sustainable management of natural resources, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen the UAE's transition to a sustainable national economy. The MoU signing was held in Dubai in the presence of His Excellency Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism and Chairman of the UAE Circular Economy Council, and was signed by H.E. Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh, Undersecretary of the Ministry, and Kazuhiro Hara, CEO of WORKSTUDIO Corporation. H.E. bin Touq said: 'The Ministry remains committed to advancing circular economy methodologies and principles across critical sectors such as food, manufacturing, sustainable transportation and green infrastructure. Our goal is to raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural resources, drive transformation in environmental and financial practices, and promote sustainable production and consumption. We aim to foster investment in natural resources and apply successful economic tools, in line with the wise leadership's vision to accelerate the shift towards a circular economy model based on sustainability and competitiveness.' His Excellency added: 'This partnership represents a strategic step towards expanding the prospects of cooperation in developing national initiatives and innovative circular policies in the country. It paves the way to strengthen the diversity and resilience of the national economy while reinforcing the UAE's leadership in sustainable development and innovation on both regional and global stages. This memorandum also aligns with the goals of the Year of Community 2025 by encouraging sustainable practices in various vital fields and building a cohesive, prosperous, and sustainable society.' The MoU aims to launch a project that includes developing an integrated model for the circular economy in the country, based on WORKSTUDIO's innovative system, PANECO®︎, which was developed in Japan and specializes in recycling textile and food waste in accordance with international best practices. This project supports the efficient use of resources and cost reduction by transforming textile waste into valuable materials and converting food waste into organic fertilizers. In doing so, it helps protect the environment and advance sustainable development. By adopting these innovative waste recycling solutions, the project also reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with burning waste - an improvement over traditional methods of disposing of unused clothing and food and aligns with the national policies that encourage the recycling of organic waste. The project will focus on developing recycling facilities in the country, training national cadres, and establishing a joint coordination committee to follow up on implementation and ensure the participation of both the government and private sectors. The new project seeks to build a collaborative system that brings together production companies, consumers, and manufacturers. It encourages eco-friendly manufacturing in the country, starting from waste collection and recycling all the way to treating it in innovative ways and transforming it into new usable products. The initiative aims to facilitate the participation of investors and stakeholders from the government and private sectors to support the stages of development and expansion across all seven emirates of the country, advancing circular economic solutions throughout the UAE. - Ends-

Napster launches Napster Companion and Napster View
Napster Companions engage in video chat that feels natural and intuitive, and have memory so they don't just understand your tasks—they understand you Dubai, UAE — Following the announcement of its rebrand from Infinite Reality to Napster Corporation and acquisition of Touchcast for $500 million, Napster —the innovation company powering the next generation of digital media and ecommerce—today introduced two products: Napster Companion (NC), a conversational AI platform offering natural video interactions with a vast ecosystem of intelligent agents, and Napster View, a 3D second-screen device designed to bring these dynamic, two-way conversations to life in immersive, spatial form. Together, these tools seek to evolve how consumers engage with AI everyday by offering lifelike personas built to help you learn new skills, solve problems, create, and grow - all over video. Whether you're looking for personalized meal plans or tackling complex equations on a spreadsheet, Napster Companions offer expertise and empathy, and are designed to feel like a trusted partner, not a chatbot. No written prompts. Just natural video conversations. Napster Companion: An Ecosystem of Multi-Modal Personified Agents Napster Companion is a scalable assistant platform that connects individuals to a suite of domain-specific intelligent and personality-driven AI agents. Each Napster Companion is designed leveraging Napster Corp's proprietary pipeline that incorporates thirty psychometric parameters that make each agent distinct with its own character, domain expertise, communication style, and task fluency. Unlike traditional chatbots or generic assistants, Napster Companions are embodied mentors—available 24/7 through live video—offering dynamic, human-like interaction tailored to each user's needs. Rather than relying solely on text or voice commands, these persistent, context-aware agents remember past interactions, adapt over time with endlessly optimized personalization, and support both reactive and proactive workflows, including document collaboration and task-based guidance in real time. The Napster Companion library covers a nearly infinite number of categories of knowledge such as cooking, health, finance, education, fitness, design, software development, and much more. If an agent does not already exist, the Napster Companion platform auto-generates a new one on the fly, in real-time, so no user query is left unanswered. Key Differentiators: No Text Prompts, Just Talk – Start a conversation like you would with a friend. Your Napster Companion understands and responds via live video. An Endless Universe of Experts – Covering everything from tax prep to travel planning, cooking to coding, fitness to finance. Don't see an agent that fits your needs? Just type in your query and a new agent and video is generated. Empathic, Engaging Personas – Built using over 30 personality traits, agents are designed to be relatable and helpful, and have memory and empathy. Live Document Collaboration – Collaborate on documents via uploads like slides, contracts, or spreadsheets. Your Conversations, Your Data – Conversations are secure, and can be exported by you anytime. Napster Companion is available for $19 per month, or users can opt for an annual subscription at $219, which includes a complimentary Napster View device, a $199 value. For those who prefer a usage-based option, 100 hours of Companion access is available for $95, while the 200-hour pack—priced at $189—also includes a complimentary Napster View. Before choosing a plan, visitors can try the experience for free with 15-minutes of complimentary chat provided. Napster View: A 3D Holographic Display for Streaming Chat with Napster Companions Napster View is a high-resolution 2.1" 3D holographic display designed to keep your Napster Companion in sight without cluttering your primary screen. Engineered for seamless integration into any workspace, it connects via USB-C with simple plug-and-play setup—no installation required. Crafted from sub-65g anodized aluminum, Napster View combines portability with a premium aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with modern macOS silicon computers, offering a dedicated, always-on viewport for immersive, 3D AI interaction. Napster View is included with select Napster Companion plans and will also be available for standalone purchase for $199 later this summer. 'Napster Companion and Napster View aren't traditional AI productivity tools,' said John Acunto, CEO of Napster Corp. 'We're focused on delivering a modality that's approachable and intuitive for anyone. But most important is ensuring your conversations are your business and all that data is securely stored, never sold, and can be exported by you at any time. Ultimately, as AI becomes a fixture in our daily routines, we want to ensure it serves users—whether individuals or enterprises—in ways that are useful, respectful, empowering, and secure.' Building on the Momentum of Napster Spaces Napster Companion and Napster View follow the successful release of Napster Spaces, an immersive AI-powered platform that allows users to easily create web pages powered by embodied AI agents. Built with enterprise and creative communities in mind, Napster Spaces turns static legacy websites into living, conversational experiences—in minutes, not sprints.
