GS1 UAE celebrates 25 years of enabling trust, transparency, and innovation
GS1 has marked 25 years of its presence in the UAE – empowering businesses and government entities with globally trusted standards that drive transparency, efficiency, and safety across supply chains. The milestone celebration coincides closely with a historic moment in global commerce today: in June of 1974, the very first product was scanned using a GS1 barcode in a supermarket in Ohio, USA. What began as a simple scan of a pack of chewing gum sparked a revolution in how the world tracks, sells, and understands products. Today, GS1 UAE stands at the forefront of that same legacy — helping businesses in the UAE digitize, standardize, and future-proof their operations. Since its establishment in 2000 in the United Arab Emirates, GS1 UAE has played a pivotal role in the UAE's digital transformation journey. Its globally recognized barcoding, data and traceability standards have become the backbone of key sectors as diverse as retail, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce. Over the years, GS1 UAE has established strategic collaborations with several key government bodies, including the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), where its standards have been instrumental in enabling excise tax compliance and the traceability of Digital Tax Stamps. GS1 UAE has also supported the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) through initiatives like Tatmeen that ensure the authentication of medical products, helping safeguard public health and align with national pharmaceutical safety goals. In the healthcare sector, GS1 UAE has partnered with health authorities such as Dubai Health, Emirates Drug Establishment, and Emirates Health Services, as well as hospitals such as Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and manufacturer associations such as Mecomed and Pharmag to implement serialization and traceability systems that strengthen patient safety, combat counterfeiting for pharmaceuticals and facilitate unique identification for medical devices. GS1's barcoding solutions in the retail and e-commerce industries have improved inventory accuracy, pricing consistency, and consumer trust, in collaboration with the likes of Dubai Duty Free, Al Ghurair, Transmed, Huda Beauty, Jumbo Electronics, Barakat, and Al Douri, to name a few. 'As we mark this important milestone, we reflect not only on our impact in the private sector but also on the strong partnerships we've built with UAE government institutions to promote trust and transparency at scale,' said Rami Habbal, CEO of GS1 UAE. 'From healthcare safety and regulatory compliance to consumer transparency and sustainability, GS1 UAE remains committed to delivering globally trusted standards that help the UAE lead in innovation.' Looking to the future, GS1 UAE is aligned with the global transition to next-generation QR codes powered by GS1 that will unlock richer trusted data at the point of sale. These QR codes will empower consumers, support sustainability efforts, and enhance real-time supply chain insights.

The Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) has attracted over $250 million in investments from United Kingdom-based companies in the past three years (2022-2024) spanning across key sectors including financial services, ICT, education and tourism. This milestone achievement underscores Bahrain's growing appeal as a strategic investment destination and highlights the strengthening economic ties between Bahrain and the United Kingdom, it stated. The announcement was made during a high-level EDB delegation visit to the UK led by Noor bint Ali Alkhulaif, Minister of Sustainable Development and Chief Executive of Bahrain EDB, where they showcased Bahrain's investment opportunities to British businesses and investors. The trip included senior officials from the kingdom's investment promotion agency, engaging in meetings with potential investors and participating in curated events focused on trends in manufacturing, and logistics. Speqking at the meeting, Ali Alkhulaif said Bahrain has long cultivated strong global partnerships, with a focus on economic cooperation and trade. "The inclusion of UK in the Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement, along with the recent signing of the Strategic Investment and Collaboration Partnership (SIP2) with Bahrain in June, will support economic growth and job creation in both countries marking a significant milestone—deepening our collaboration across security, economic integration, and technological innovation," she stated. Bahrain, she stated, remains a trusted gateway for UK companies seeking growth in the Middle East, backed by a business-friendly environment, agile regulation, and high-growth sectors. "The increased confidence from UK investors is a testament to our enduring partnership, and we look forward to building on this momentum," she added. During the visit, the Bahrain EDB, in collaboration with the Financial Times, will curate two panel discussions about 'Shaping the Next Generation of Manufacturing and Logistics Hubs'. Both sessions will explore global shifts in tariffs, supply chains, technology, and sustainability, emphasising how companies are re-evaluating and relocating manufacturing and logistics hubs to optimise resources and market responsiveness. Bahrain's longstanding relationship with the UK continues to deepen across multiple priority sectors. The two nations recently signed a second SIP2 involving over £2 billion in investment from the Bahraini private sector, targeting carbon reduction and sustainable development projects. Bilateral non-oil trade saw a significant growth of 45% in 2024, reaching $645 million compared to $443 million in 2023.

77% of South Africa businesses AI-ready, over half see benefits
A new Asus survey reveals that 77% of South African business decision-makers are ready to adopt AI tools immediately, with over half already experiencing measurable outcomes. These findings point to a tech-savvy market that is not just exploring AI, but actively using it to improve productivity, sharpen decision-making and enhance customer experiences. The results come from the Asus 2025 Future of SMBs report, which surveyed South African business leaders on how small and midsize businesses (SMBs) are navigating digital transformation. The findings reflect not only a strong appetite for innovation but also growing confidence in AI's real-world impact. 'There's real momentum behind AI adoption in South Africa. Instead of holding back, businesses are embracing these tools to solve real challenges and unlock new opportunities,' says Marce Heath, business head of marketing at Asus South Africa. South African SMBs lead in AI readiness The survey reveals a market that is both confident in technology and pragmatic about its potential: - 77% are ready to adopt AI immediately - 51% are already seeing clear business outcomes - 43% expect to see benefits within 1–2 years - 92% agree that adopting AI helps retain younger employees Respondents cited the following advantages: - Improved productivity and operational efficiency (76%) - Stronger data insights and analytics (67%) - Faster, more informed decision-making (54%) Even with this optimism, South African SMBs are approaching adoption strategically. Data security, system maintenance and the need to stay current with emerging technologies remain key concerns. This points to a preference for sustainable, long-term solutions over quick fixes. The South African findings align with broader insights from Asus's global white paper, Why SMBs Are Backing AI for Global Growth, based on research in 32 markets. Around the world, SMBs are leveraging AI to expand into new markets, navigate linguistic and operational barriers, and build long-term partnerships rather than short-term transactional relationships. Rather than chasing scale for its own sake, many are opting for controlled, tech-enabled growth, with AI and trusted digital infrastructure playing a central role in helping businesses adapt with confidence. Asus devices designed for the AI era To support this shift, Asus has developed laptops and desktops tailored to the demands of intelligent, connected work. The Asus Expert P Series combines enterprise-grade security with collaboration-enabling features, such as real-time translation, automated meeting summaries and transcription, watermarking and smart system optimisation. Powered by Asus AI ExpertMeet and Windows 11 Pro, these tools are helping teams collaborate securely, work more efficiently across time zones and adapt to hybrid work environments with ease. 'Technology should accelerate growth, not complicate it,' adds Heath. 'With our AI-ready devices, we're equipping South African businesses with practical, secure tools that support how they work today and into the future.' It's this blend of performance, usability and peace of mind that makes Asus devices a natural fit for the AI-driven priorities emerging across the local business landscape. Behind the insights: Inside the Asus SMB study The Asus 2025 Future of SMBs report surveyed 101 South African business leaders across industries, including general managers, IT specialists and procurement professionals. It forms part of a broader global study conducted across 32 markets to understand how SMBs are responding to technological change.
