Founded in Japan in 1989, LOJEL has grown into a globally recognized brand celebrated for its dedication to craftsmanship, functionality, and sustainability. The brand offers a wide range of products, from durable luggage to versatile carry essentials, designed to adapt to the lifestyles of modern explorers. Known for their thoughtful design and reliability, LOJEL products have become a favorite among discerning travelers seeking high-quality solutions that complement a minimalistic lifestyle.

This new store allows us to connect more closely with our Middle Eastern customers, offering them lifestyle solutions that inspire confidence in travel and everyday life.

This flagship store embodies the brand's ethos, combining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic with an immersive retail experience that allows customers to discover and interact with LOJEL's full range of travel and carry solutions.

This expansion aligns with the growing demand for premium travel gear and carry essentials in the region.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, LOJEL continues to innovate by developing eco-friendly materials and responsible manufacturing processes. The brand's focus on reducing environmental impact resonates strongly with the UAE's vision for sustainability and eco-conscious living.

Trump unveils investments to power AI boom - Tech
US President Donald Trump went to Pennsylvania on Tuesday to announce $92 billion in energy and infrastructure deals intended to meet big tech's soaring demand for electricity to fuel the AI boom. Trump made the announcement at the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit at Carnegie Mellon University, with much of the talk about beating China in the global AI race. "Today's commitments are ensuring that the future is going to be designed, built and made right here in Pennsylvania and right here in Pittsburgh, and I have to say, right here in the United States of America," Trump said at the event. The tech world has fully embraced generative AI as the next wave of technology, but fears are growing that its massive electricity needs cannot be met by current infrastructure, particularly in the United States. Generative AI requires enormous computing power, mainly to run the energy-hungry processors from Nvidia, the California-based company that has become the world's most valuable company by market capitalization. Officials expect that by 2028, tech companies will need as much as five gigawatts of power for AI -- enough electricity to power roughly five million homes. Top executives from Palantir, Anthropic, Exxon and Chevron attended the event. The funding will cover new data centers, power generation, grid infrastructure, AI training, and apprenticeship programs. - Race to beat China - Among investments, Google committed $25 billion to build AI-ready data centers in Pennsylvania and surrounding regions. "We support President Trump's clear and urgent direction that our nation invest in AI... so that America can continue to lead in AI," said Ruth Porat, Google's president and chief investment officer. The search engine giant also announced a partnership with Brookfield Asset Management to modernize two hydropower facilities in Pennsylvania, representing 670 MW of capacity on the regional grid. Investment group Blackstone pledged more than $25 billion to fund new data centers and energy infrastructure. US Senator David McCormick, from Pennsylvania, said the investments "are of enormous consequence to Pennsylvania, but they are also crucial to the future of the nation." His comments reflect the growing sentiment in Washington that the United States must not lose ground to China in the race to develop AI. "We are way ahead of China and the plants are starting up, the construction is starting up," Trump said. The US president launched the "Stargate" project in January, aimed at investing up to $500 billion in US AI infrastructure -- primarily in response to growing competition with China. Japanese tech investor SoftBank, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, and Oracle are investing $100 billion in the initial phase. Trump has also reversed many policies adopted by the previous Biden administration that imposed checks on developing powerful AI algorithms and limits on exports of advanced technology to certain allied countries. He is expected to outline his own blueprint for AI advancement later this month. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Egypt to launch 5-year Japanese-inspired engineering diploma in September
Egypt signed a cooperation protocol with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on Tuesday to launch a five-year Japanese-inspired engineering diploma in September for post-preparatory school students. The Industry Ministry's Productivity and Vocational Training Authority (PVTD) and the cabinet's Education Development Fund (EDF) have signed the protocol with the JICA. Per the agreement, the PVTD, in coordination with the Ministries of Education and Higher Education, will host the first group of students from the Egyptian-Japanese KOZEN Institute at its centre in 10th of Ramadan City in September for the advanced engineering programme. The KOZEN programme is a five-year advanced engineering education system inspired by Japan's system, focusing on early field exposure for post-preparatory school students. The diploma qualifies graduates to enrol in technological universities, engineering faculties, and computer science colleges. A cabinet statement said this strategic partnership aims to significantly improve the quality of graduates and align education with local, regional, and international labour market needs in relevant specialities. Moreover, the protocol includes advanced training programmes in microelectronics, semiconductors, green energy, and solar panels. It also aims to exchange knowledge, build students' capacity, and develop trainers for KOZEN instructors. Minister of Industry and Transport Kamel El-Wazir, Minister of Education and Technical Education Mohamed Abdel-Latif, and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Ayman Ashour also attended the signing ceremony of the protocol. During the ceremony, El-Wazir stated that the initiative marks a significant milestone in the history of Egyptian industry and technical education, as it helps provide a skilled technical workforce to meet market needs. He added that it aligns with Egypt's vision for industrial advancement, which focuses on qualifying human resources by developing vocational training programmes in collaboration with the ministry. El-Wazir further emphasized the importance of benefiting from the Japanese experience in training technical labour to increase demand for Egyptian labour domestically and abroad. He also affirmed the ministry's commitment to upgrading training at the PVTD centres and enhancing labs to produce technically proficient graduates. "This aligns with the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) regulations, requiring imports to meet green manufacturing standards starting in 2027," he said. International cooperation For his part, Minister Ashour praised this cooperation as a successful model of partnership with JICA, highlighting Japan's leadership in this area. He pointed to the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology, which qualifies students for the Egyptian, regional, and African labour markets. He stated that 40 cooperation protocols have previously been signed with major private sector investors to operate vocational training centres, aiming to help meet industry labour demands by developing trainers, engineers, and new specialisations. Meanwhile, Minister Abdel-Latif emphasized the ministry's strong focus on the technical education sector as a cornerstone of Egypt's economic and industrial future, the statement said. He highlighted the ministry's adoption of a new vision for technical education and the establishment of an internationally standardized education system that offers globally recognized certifications to graduates. Abdel-Latif also commended the effectiveness of the cooperation with Japan through the KOZEN model, as well as with Italy through the Don Bosco model, one of the most successful and long-standing systems in Egypt. Additionally, he affirmed that the ministry is working to expand cooperation with Germany and that new technical education schools and centres of excellence will be created with international standards. In May, Egypt and Germany signed a 118 million euro financial cooperation agreement in the education and energy sectors. This includes a 32 million euro grant to establish 25 Egyptian centres of excellence for supporting technical education. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
