ADGM-based Ruya Partners secures $55mln for fiber production plant in Saudi Arabia
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM)based private credit fund manager Ruya Partners secured a $55 million (SAR 206 million) private credit investment to fund the development of an innovative hygiene nonwoven fiber production plant in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The transaction was completed as part of a consortium with a fund managed by a leading regional financial institution, according to a recent press release. This investment contributes to boosting the region's production capabilities in nonwoven materials amid the growing demand within the hygiene sector. It also supports the Kingdom's broader vision of industrial diversification and sustainable economic growth, in line with the Saudi Vision 2030. The funding will be used to back the construction of a staple fiber production facility owned by the Al Shair Group. The plant will be a raw material supplier to United Saudi Company (USC), the only dry-laid hygiene nonwoven manufacturer in Saudi Arabia and wholly owned by the Al Shair Group. Meanwhile, the facility will result in the culmination of a strategically important vertical integration of Al Shair's nonwoven operations, enabling the whole supply chain and all related value-added to be brought into Saudi Arabia. The operational phase is expected to commence within two years, with an initial production capacity of 30,000 metric tons. It is planned to expand this capacity to 50,000 metric tons during a subsequent phase of development, enhancing production efficiencies and meeting the region's growing market demand. Mirza Beg, Partner and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Ruya Partners, said: 'We firmly believe that this hygiene nonwoven fiber production plant will play a pivotal role in meeting the increasing regional demand and strengthening Saudi Arabia's position in this vital market.' Addressing the importance of this upstream integrated project, Talal Al Shair, Founder and Executive Chairman of Al Shair Group, said: 'The new facility will not only enhance local production capacity for hygiene nonwoven fibers but also support the Kingdom's strategic goal of industrial diversification, integration and support the circular economy under Vision 2030.' Omar Al Yawer, Partner and Chief Capital Formation Officer of Ruya Partners, commented: "This latest investment marks a meaningful milestone as Ruya Private Capital Fund I's fifth deployment and the fourth financing supporting Saudi Arabia's corporate growth. 'This collaboration highlights our continued commitment to providing strategic capital to transformative companies that are powering the Kingdom's economic diversification,' he added.

Inside Huawei's innovation engine: From smartphones to smart mobility
Technology is reinforcing its position as a global leader in consumer marker and smart ecosystems by expanding beyond smartphones into a fully integrated portfolio that includes smart mobility, wearable gadgets, health devices, AI-led manufacturing, and cross-device operating systems. The company's recent innovation showcase in Shenzhen and Dongguan offered insight into Huawei's redefined strategy — shifting from being a smartphone-centric brand to a technology ecosystem pioneer aimed at powering smart living across categories. Pura 80 Series: Huawei Elevates Smartphone Imaging with AI Huawei's upcoming Pura 80 Series represents a major advancement in mobile photography, as the company integrates AI computation with next-gen optical hardware. The device features real-time scene recognition, advanced low-light optimisation, and software-level enhancements designed to rival traditional DSLR systems. This marks Huawei's continued leadership in smartphone imaging — an area where the brand has consistently set industry benchmarks. The Pura 80 Series is expected to target creators and professionals who demand high-performance imaging in mobile formats, especially in visual-centric markets like the UAE and wider GCC region. Smart Mobility: Huawei's HarmonyOS Powers Next-Gen Vehicles Huawei has entered the electric vehicle (EV) segment with a strategic focus on in-vehicle intelligence and connectivity. Through its proprietary HarmonyOS platform, the company is powering the smart cockpit experience in multiple EV models launched in collaboration with Chinese automakers. Key features include AI-assisted infotainment systems, seamless integration with smartphones and wearables, and predictive navigation. Huawei envisions the car as the 'third space'—a digital environment positioned between work and home that enables entertainment, productivity, and health tracking. This aligns with regional mobility trends. As Gulf countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia aggressively expand EV infrastructure and smart mobility projects, Huawei's entry into the automotive ecosystem places it at the center of future transportation solutions. Manufacturing at Scale: AI-Led Precision in Device Production Huawei's device production facilities operate with a high degree of automation, supported by AI-driven quality control systems and sustainability-focused engineering. From hardware assembly to final testing, the process is vertically integrated — ensuring greater speed-to-market, minimised errors, and superior product consistency. This approach contrasts with traditional outsourcing models adopted by competitors and gives Huawei an edge in quality assurance and innovation agility. It also supports the company's ESG goals, as its production methods are increasingly optimized for energy efficiency and waste reduction. Wearables and Digital Health: Huawei Advances into Preventive Wellness Huawei continues to grow its wearable health tech division, combining sensor innovation with AI and clinical-level accuracy. The company's wearables now feature heart health monitoring, posture correction, and emerging non-invasive glucose tracking technologies — addressing rising demand for preventative health solutions. Huawei's research-backed Health Lab in Dongguan supports over 80 sports modes across different devices, validating health data with scientific testing. These innovations hold particular relevance in the GCC, where lifestyle-related health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions are on the rise. In the UAE, Huawei has expanded its wearable market share through locally tailored campaigns and distribution partnerships, aiming to position its smartwatches and fitness bands as core tools for both fitness enthusiasts and long-term wellness management. HarmonyOS Ecosystem: A Unified Platform Across Devices Central to Huawei's technology strategy is HarmonyOS, a unified operating system that enables seamless interaction between smartphones, wearables, tablets, smart home devices, and now vehicles. As of early 2025, HarmonyOS operates on over 800 million devices globally. This cross-device synchronisation allows for intelligent file sharing, connected workflows, and multi-screen interactions — features particularly suited for UAE users who maintain digital productivity across multiple devices throughout the day. The HarmonyOS ecosystem also supports smart home management, business tools, and cloud integration, forming a foundation for Huawei's 'device-cloud synergy' model that underpins its long-term platform strategy. Leadership in the GCC: Huawei's Expanding Footprint in the Region Huawei's investments in the GCC region — particularly the UAE — span both consumer and enterprise technology. From powering 5G infrastructure and cloud services to building smart city platforms, the company has established strong public and private sector partnerships across the region. In the UAE consumer market, Huawei has built brand trust through consistent delivery of premium hardware and innovative features tailored to regional preferences. The upcoming rollouts of EV technology and advanced health wearables are expected to accelerate adoption in high-tech hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Huawei has also applied for over 100,000 global patents, including next-gen breakthroughs such as 5-minute EV fast charging — a solution designed to deliver 3000km range with rapid energy transfer, targeting markets where time efficiency is a premium consumer demand. Huawei Defines a New Standard for Integrated Technology Huawei's ecosystem-led strategy marks a significant transformation from product-based competition to platform-based leadership. Through simultaneous investments in mobile imaging, electric vehicles, health tech, and intelligent operating systems, the company is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the future digital lifestyle. With its multi-sector expansion, AI-driven infrastructure, and commitment to vertical integration, Huawei is redefining the boundaries of tech innovation — not just in China but globally. For the GCC and UAE, this means more localised access to next-generation solutions designed for speed, intelligence, and seamless integration.
