UAE startup Quiqup enters Saudi logistics market
This move is backed by the strategic support of the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund, which has played a pivotal role in helping Quiqup expand its operations and double its business in the past two years.
The company's expansion comes after its notable impact on the UAE's e-commerce ecosystem and aligns with its strategy to offer integrated logistics solutions to businesses across the GCC.
Founded in the UAE in 2017, Quiqup provides comprehensive logistics services, focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises. The company offers storage, sorting, packaging, and delivery services. With its expansion into Saudi Arabia, commercial clients in the Kingdom can now access Quiqup's reliable and efficient fulfillment services.
Fatima Yousif Alnaqbi, acting assistant undersecretary for the support services sector at UAE Ministry of Finance, and the ministry's representative at MBRIF, said: 'Supporting the success of high-potential innovators who contribute to economic growth is one of the core objectives of the Mohammed bin Rashid Innovation Fund. Quiqup's journey exemplifies how strategic support, combined with innovation and market expertise, can drive a company's growth and create a meaningful economic impact.'
She added: 'Over the past few years, we have worked closely with Quiqup through our Guarantee Scheme and have seen the company's outstanding potential in reshaping the e-commerce logistics sector in the UAE. Its expansion into Saudi Arabia is a testament to its ability to apply its expertise and innovative solutions in new markets. We look forward to supporting its continued growth across the region.'
Bassel El-Koussa, CEO of Quiqup, said: 'Our expansion into Saudi Arabia is a natural next step, driven by our customers' evolving needs.'
With the increasing demand for seamless cross-border logistics solutions, we are proud to extend our services to neighboring markets. We see the GCC as a connected e-commerce ecosystem where operational efficiencies in one market enhance the overall regional performance.'
'By building a robust and integrated platform, we are not only expanding our reach but also contributing to a more efficient and interconnected logistics network. Our strong track record in the UAE serves as a solid foundation for our operations in Saudi Arabia, and we look forward to working with e-commerce businesses in the Kingdom to support their growth and contribute to the local economy,' he added.

Expo memoir highlights Dubai's legacy of innovation
When Dubai hosted Expo 2020, it became the first country in the Middle East and North Africa region to hold the event, redefining the possibilities of a World Expo. Historically, these global gatherings, stretching back to 1851, have been dynamic showcases of experimental architecture, international collaboration and technological advancement. Yet, for almost two centuries, women were largely absent from their production and focus. Dubai notably changed this narrative, largely due to the formidable leadership detailed in 'When Ground Shifts,' the insightful new book by Reem Al-Hashimy, the UAE minister of state for international cooperation and the visionary behind Expo 2020. As Expo 2025 Osaka passes its halfway point, it continues to build on this rich history, while the anticipation for Expo 2030 Riyadh further underscores the region's commitment to this global platform for innovation and collaboration. Al-Hashimy's book is far from a mere chronicle of milestones; it is a candid, first-hand account of the immense personal and international challenges she navigated — from being appointed a minister at 29 to delivering Dubai's final presentation in Paris while heavily pregnant and repeating her mantra of 'hope is not a method.' The anecdotes reveal the tireless effort required to deliver a World Expo. Her book illuminates the relentless dedication that transformed a patch of untouched desert into a showplace for more than 190 countries and 24 million visitors. Expo 2020 visitors were captivated by the falcon-like UAE Pavilion; the majestic 'energy trees' surrounding Terra — The Sustainability Pavilion; and the immense Al-Wasl Plaza, the planet's largest 360-degree projection surface. Significantly, they were moved by the Women's Pavilion, inspired in part by a vintage Cartier bracelet. Her expo understood style as much as it did substance. Having had the privilege of witnessing Expo 2020 as a writer, a speaker for the US pavilion and as a member of the fair's Visitor Experience department, what I saw, and what Al-Hashimy's book powerfully conveys, is that a grand undertaking thrives from the top down. The meticulous attention to detail, the open-minded willingness to seek expertise from every corner of the globe, the pervasive feeling that everyone involved could contribute something, and the daring that was not just tolerated but actively sought all flowed from Al-Hashimy and the cast of several thousand characters she assembled like a Marvel superhero team. Her profound understanding of what she calls 'barakah' — the ability to find those who can ease your burdens and solve your problems — is a core theme in 'When Ground Shifts,' and it was palpable on the ground. Expo 2020 came within a hair's breadth of its goal of 25 million visitors, despite a year-long delay due to the lockdowns. Charles Pappas 'Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy,' Tchaikovsky said. The Expo 2020 site went from zero to a fully realized 4 sq. km city with mind-bending speed. Each problem was a domino falling to her steady, relentless effort. Perhaps no obstacle was greater than the COVID-19 pandemic. While the 1873 Vienna World's Fair saw a cholera epidemic slash its expected turnout, Expo 2020 came within a hair's breadth of meeting its goal of attracting 25 million visitors, despite a year-long delay due to the lockdowns. Drawing the largest number of countries ever for a World Expo, the event was cosmopolitan yet grounded in the Middle East. Indigenous ghaf and palm trees provided shade, while dozens of calligraphy benches, which resembled abstract art but spelled out words in Arabic like 'vision,' 'dignity,' 'hope' and 'dream,' offered respite from the 20,000 or so steps visitors would easily rack up in a day. These details, far from mere decorative elements, were integral to the event's cultural tapestry. 'When Ground Shifts' could easily have been a dull humblebrag. Instead, it is alive with grace and pride. The self-described 'little on the nerdy side' student who found deep meaning in the Lincoln Memorial and the American experiment built an expo where, for the first time, every country had its own pavilion. She also built Expo Live, which channeled $100 million to pioneering social projects that embodied the expo themes of mobility, opportunity and sustainability. This commitment to equitable participation and impactful legacy is a cornerstone of the book's message. Until 1970, most world expos were held in cities such as London, Paris, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York. But with Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan, world's fairs began trending toward non-Western locations, realizing their singular soft power. Expo 2020 propelled the UAE onto a world stage and into the top 10 countries in the Brand Finance Global Soft Power Index 2023. It was a nation's coming of age on the global stage. All of that is an astonishing heritage. As the spotlight shifts to Expo 2025 Osaka and continues with significant anticipation for Expo 2030 Riyadh, that spirit of global collaboration and innovation remains a powerful guiding force. Riyadh's bid, centered on 'The Era of Change: Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow,' aims to further advance global dialogue. The lessons learned from Dubai's inclusive approach and Osaka's technological ambitions will undoubtedly inform Riyadh's preparations, ensuring Expo 2030 continues the legacy of creating a platform for collective progress and a sustainable future. While every expo charts its own course, the high bar of success and the compelling story of leadership captured in 'When Ground Shifts' offer a rich context for understanding the immense undertaking that Osaka is now embracing and what Riyadh will soon embark upon. The world waits to see what new legacies they will inspire.

GCC economy grows 1.5% to $588bn in Q4 2024 on non-oil expansion
RIYADH: The Gulf Cooperation Council's economy grew 1.5 percent year on year in the fourth quarter of 2024, reaching $587.8 billion, driven by a surge in non-oil activity, official data showed. According to the GCC Statistical Center, the increase from $579 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023 highlights the region's ongoing shift toward diversification, with non-oil sectors contributing 77.9 percent of total output, while oil accounted for 22.1 percent. Among non-oil sectors, manufacturing contributed 12.5 percent, wholesale and retail trade 9.9 percent, construction 8.3 percent, and public administration and defense 7.5 percent. Finance and insurance made up 7 percent, real estate 5.7 percent, and other activities a combined 27 percent. The region's economic shift is driven by national reform plans, including Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, the UAE's Economic Vision 2030, Oman's Vision 2040, and Qatar's National Vision 2030, aimed at reducing reliance on oil by expanding sectors like tourism, logistics, finance, and technology, and boosting private sector and foreign investment. The statistical center said: 'This report on the quarterly GDP estimates in the GCC countries is issued based on the data made available by the member states, with a reference of May 2025.' At the real GDP level, the GCC economy grew 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024, with non-oil GDP expanding by 3.7 percent, while oil GDP contracted by 0.9 percent, reflecting voluntary OPEC+ production cuts. Among member states, Qatar recorded the highest real GDP growth at 4.5 percent, followed by the UAE at 3.6 percent and Saudi Arabia at 2.8 percent, the report showed. The region also maintained stable price levels, with overall inflation averaging 2.1 percent across the bloc during the quarter. Qatar and Oman registered the lowest inflation rates at 1.1 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively, while Bahrain recorded the highest at 3.3 percent. In its latest update, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, in collaboration with Oxford Economics, raised its 2025 GCC growth forecast to 4.4 percent, up from a prior estimate of 4 percent, citing stronger oil output and resilient non-oil sector activity. The International Monetary Fund projects the GCC economy to expand by 3 percent in 2025, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and supported by sustained infrastructure investment and policy reforms.

The minister reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to sharing its experience with the Palestinian Authority to help bolster its economic security and advance its financial oversight systems. The meeting also showcased the UAE's National Economic Register project, known as 'Namo,' which provides a unified, reliable digital database of all commercial licenses across the country. Officials discussed efforts to standardize procedures for identifying beneficial ownership and to boost oversight of designated non-financial businesses and professions, including real estate brokers, precious metals dealers, accountants, and corporate service providers. Both parties agreed to continue coordination and knowledge-sharing in this critical sector, emphasizing the importance of building sustainable economic systems and fostering stronger bilateral cooperation in transparency, governance, and financial integration.
