It runs from February 4-6 across Abu Dhabi and Dubai – welcoming influential stakeholders to address AI industry challenges, enhance cross-continental collaboration, and accelerate AI commercialization across government, business, society, and core pillars of global economies.
Following an exhilarating opening day in the UAE capital, where a fascinating Ai Everything Global Summit received audience acclaim for tackling current AI dynamics alongside distinguished global leaders, experts, and policymakers; Day 2 switched to Dubai for a highly anticipated Exhibition Showcase.
Live from Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City, across successive days, part one of this must-attend two-day gathering acquainted AI tech supremos and business leaders with the latest cutting-edge solutions, projects, and use cases driving unprecedented global demands for all things AI.
With over 500 international exhibitors showcasing the revolutionary AI research, development, and deployment advancements being driven across digital economies, Ai Everything Global's 'Big Winds of Change: It's AI in Everything' theme was fully embraced by the entire global tech community.
Unveiling the Next Generation of Revolutionary AI Inventions
Amongst the many globally renowned companies exhibiting was the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), Abu Dhabi's government entity shaping revolutionary technology R&D. Alongside critically acclaimed autonomous mobility prototypes, ATRC showcased the future of agritech robotics by exhibiting its high-capacity autonomous seeding drone – curated to streamline mangrove forest seeding via drone mapping, monitor mangrove system health via remote sensing, and ensure agritech industry growth and sustainability.
Another visionary AI innovator immensely popular with visitors was the Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia (CTAG) as the Spanish automotive and mobility solutions specialist unveiled one of the world's most advanced AI-driven shuttles. Designed to power a new frontier in autonomous mobility globally, the shuttle will drive sustainable transportation, digital transformation, and decarbonization in future digital cities and is also a solution 'for the here and now'. According to CTAG, the shuttle is attracting strong interest from potential investors regionally and internationally, with 12 pilots already rolled out across Spain and Portugal and six more targeted for 2025.
Meanwhile, some of Europe's most pioneering SMEs illustrated their own quantum leaps in AI innovation. The continent's next generation of AI powerhouses included Nebius AI of the Netherlands, a technology company building full-stack infrastructure to service the explosive growth of the global AI industry; and Eviden of France.

The World's Fastest-Rising Startups Emerge on the AI Industry's Grandest Stage
While Ai Everything Global welcomed capacity crowds for a second consecutive day, Wednesday was momentous for several reasons – including the emergence of the world's fastest-rising startups. As the most reputable and iconic AI and big tech enterprises attracted substantial visitor numbers at the largest public-private global AI gathering of the year. As, so too did pure AI startups.
With over 250 early-stage international AI companies participating – 70% of which are certified award-winning – the Ai Everything Global Exhibition Showcase was the perfect platform for these top-rated startups to shine.
Booster Robotics of China received enormous praise and plaudits on its first-ever appearance in the UAE. The advanced humanoid creator has experienced a meteoric rise since its establishment in 2023, inventing the Booster T1, which has since gained international attention with its crowning as the 'fastest free-walk robot' at the 2024 IEEE-RAS Humanoids Championship.
Chaoyi Li, Head of Globalisation at Booster Robotics, said: Humanoid robots will be everywhere around the world in the future – this is our vision and ambition. We want to make humanoids as reliable, affordable, and useful as laptops are today. They can help us everywhere, taking responsibility for many of the tedious, tiresome, repetitive, and potentially dangerous jobs out there; enabling people to be more human rather than robotic. This is why we're actively uniting with AI developers to deploy multi-functional robots for all kinds of scenarios around the world.
Another earning admiration and attention was Twinsity. The German startup, accelerated by the European Innovation Council (EIC), Europe's biggest deep tech investor, revealed all about Twinspect – an AI-powered digital twin platform turning drone data into accurate and efficient infrastructure inspection. Already, Twinsity has been awarded a €2.5 million EIC grant to accelerate AI innovation and has raised €3 million in early-stage VC funding.
Additionally, other acclaimed startups receiving rave reviews included Nigeria's SaaSPro Health, transforming healthcare and redefining how medical data is captured, analyzed, and integrated through real-time speech recognition; and Let's Scan – SWYGMA, the French company helping parents understand their infant's needs through AI-powered baby translator decoding cry patterns.
Fascinating Insights from the World's Leading Voices in AI
Elsewhere on an action-packed Day 2, the World AI Leaders stage welcomed audiences for a deep dive into all things AI led by global experts. Alongside arguments for and against AI regulation, including powerful insights into the future directions of developments and the integration of AI across industries – from energy, education, and finance to healthcare, telecom, and creative economy – panelists also predicted an accelerated emergence of AI agents in 2025.
AI agents are not only poised to automate various processes but can also gather and synthesize information, marking a transformative shift in productivity and business efficiency. Few experts even went further to claim that we will be able to see a multi-agent ecosystem fast rising, with multiple agents capable of interacting with each other to deliver a particular outcome. Gartner has predicted that by 2028, AI agents could make 15% of decisions.
Shukri Eid, General Manager Gulf, Levant & Pakistan, IBM – UAE, said: Real breakthrough in productivity can only happen with increased automation – and AI agents are game-changing because you are focusing on the outcome. The AI agent is capable of planning multiple steps and engaging multiple systems through autonomous decision-making – and the real shift in productivity happens when we orchestrate different types of capabilities, flexibility models, and automated assistance whilst weaving AI agents into the fabric of your organization.
Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer of Presight, a G42 company, also hailed the AI and automation evolution taking shape, adding: AI-enabled workflows will help us. We will see the formation of microgrids and enhanced traffic management. We will see domestic management improvements, reduced carbon footprints, and newfound control at levels we ourselves cannot do. With this, little changes will accumulate, translating to positive change as autonomous assistance takes over.

Spain's unemployment rate falls to lowest since 2008 to 10.29%
Spain's unemployment rate fell to 10.29 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 from 11.36 per cent in the preceding three months, data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed. The rate was at the lowest level since the first quarter of 2008, when it stood at 9.6 per cent, INE said. It also represents the lowest rate in a second quarter since 2007. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast that the rate would decline to 10.7 per cent. The April-June period tends to be the strongest quarter for employment in Spain, as the tourism sector usually sees high activity before the traditional summer slump hits other industries. After adding over 500,000 new jobs in the quarter, the country surpassed the milestone of 22 million formal workers for the first time. Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz told SER radio the data was very positive but called on employers to improve salaries, which she said were far below those of other European countries despite a high cost of living. Meanwhile Spain's trade deficit widened 42.46 per cent in the first five months of 2025 from the same period a year earlier, to 21.52 billion euros ($25.04 billion), the Economy ministry said on Friday. Imports over the period increased by 4.3 per cent to 184.91 billion euros, while exports rose 0.8 per cent to 163.38 billion euros, the ministry said. Spain's economy is a strong and developing one, characterized by its robust labour market, a growing focus on green energy, and increasing foreign investment. It is the 14th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the fifth largest in Europe. The country is a member of the European Union and the Eurozone, and it has a mixed capitalist economy with a strong service sector, particularly tourism, and a significant industrial base The Spanish government announced a €200 million ($232.03 million) financial package to bolster its investments in Mauritania, along with the launch of the digital platform 'Kantara' aimed at fostering direct connections between economic players in both countries. The announcement came following the conclusion of the first high-level session between Mauritania and Spain, which included the Mauritanian-Spanish Business Council, and was attended by Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, President of Mauritania, and Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain. According to the Mauritanian Information Agency, the closing session featured pledges and investment commitments. In his remarks, Sanchez said the €200 million package will be channelled into loans for green projects, feasibility studies, risk mitigation instruments, and project implementation tools, particularly in the field of energy transition. He also announced that Spain will appoint its first economic and trade representative in Mauritania as of 1st September. President El Ghazouani emphasised that Mauritania offers a wide range of promising investment opportunities in key sectors such as fisheries, agriculture, livestock development, extractive industries, infrastructure - including roads, bridges, airports, and public buildings - as well as in services, gas, and mining. Earlier the Opec Fund for International Development (Opec Fund) and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania have signed a landmark Country Partnership Framework Agreement to cooperate on key development initiatives during the period 2025-2027, earmarking $120 million in new development financing focusing on the country's development priorities. The funding will finance critical projects that contribute to projects promoting renewable energy, clean water, food security, improved transport and clean cooking. In addition the Opec Fund is pledging to provide up to $500,000 in grants for capacity-building, project preparation and technical assistance. Opec Fund President Abdulhamid Alkhalifa said during a visit to the capital Nouakchott: 'We are proud to help improve the lives of people and communities for a more resilient future. Our commitment to Mauritania is focused on bolstering key sectors of the economy.' 'Technical assistance and strong project preparation are vital to mobilise additional development funding, enable public-private partnerships (PPPs) and attract private sector investment.' The Ministry of Economy and Tourism has signed two Memoranda of Understanding with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office and the Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office, aimed at strengthening cooperation in the development of intellectual property (IP) in the UAE in line with international best practices. The MoUs were signed in the presence of Abdullah Bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, during the UAE delegation's participation in the Sixty-Sixth Series of Meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva.

Multiply Group Completes Major Stake Purchase in Tendam
Abu Dhabi-based Multiply Group has concluded the acquisition of a 67.91% majority stake in Spanish fashion retailer Tendam, valued at AED 5.6 billion. This move marks a significant leap into the European retail market for the UAE-listed conglomerate, solidifying its position in the global apparel industry. The deal with Tendam, which operates several prominent fashion brands including Cortefiel, Pedro del Hierro, and Springfield, will elevate Multiply Group's international presence. Tendam is an established player in the omnichannel retail space, combining physical stores with an increasingly sophisticated digital sales infrastructure, which positions the company as a strong contender in the fast-evolving European fashion market. Multiply Group's entry into this space is seen as part of a broader strategy to diversify its portfolio and tap into lucrative international markets. Samia Bouazza, the Group CEO and Managing Director of Multiply Group, highlighted the strategic nature of the acquisition. She noted that by securing control over a leading omnichannel business, Multiply is embracing a forward-thinking business model that is not only resilient but also adaptable to changing market conditions. ADVERTISEMENT The acquisition comes at a time when global retail trends are shifting towards an integrated, omnichannel approach, allowing companies to reach consumers across both physical and digital platforms. Tendam's long-standing expertise in this area makes the company an attractive investment for Multiply Group as it seeks to expand its footprint in Europe. Analysts suggest that the acquisition will bolster Multiply's operational EBITDA, driving growth in the firm's retail segment. Multiply Group, which has made waves in sectors ranging from technology to entertainment, views the purchase as a step towards achieving its long-term growth objectives. The acquisition is expected to provide significant synergies across Multiply's existing portfolio, with the potential to scale Tendam's brands across different European regions and beyond. The move also indicates Multiply Group's growing focus on consumer-facing businesses, which is a departure from its traditional concentration on investments in industrial and commercial sectors. By diversifying into the fashion industry, the group is positioning itself to benefit from the continued shift in consumer behaviour, where e-commerce and digital sales channels are becoming dominant drivers of growth. Industry experts believe the timing of the acquisition is particularly strategic. With the fashion industry adapting to evolving consumer preferences—especially in terms of sustainability and technological integration—the future of retail is poised for transformation. Tendam's strong digital presence, combined with its established retail stores, provides a balanced model that can better withstand economic fluctuations, making it an attractive proposition for investors. The deal strengthens Multiply Group's ties to the European market, offering more opportunities to collaborate with local businesses and expand its network of strategic partnerships. The UAE's growing influence in global investment circles, particularly in retail and fashion, is highlighted by this acquisition, which is expected to attract additional attention from global investors looking to enter the region.
