INFRASTRUCTURE<\/strong>-<\/p>\n

RTA<\/strong> to improve airport traffic with DXB bridge expansion: <\/strong>Dubai Airports and the Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA) have awarded a contract to widen and upgrade the bridge leading to Dubai International Airport\u2019s (DXB) Terminal 1, according to a press release<\/a>. The project will add a lane to the bridge, making it four in total, by adding a new bridge using a system of steel box girders, expanding the total capacity from 4k to 5k vehicles \u2014 a 33% increase. <\/p>\n

The project comes in a bid to reduce traffic congestion<\/strong> at the world\u2019s busiest airport for international passengers. In 2015, the RTA also inked a <\/span>USD 110 mn contract<\/a> to upgrade its airport road, which included the construction of bridges and tunnels at Al Rashidiya, as well as a one-lane bridge leading directly to the airport\u2019s Terminal 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAFETY-<\/p>\n

Adnoc<\/strong>, Backline Safety roll out multi-year safety tech agreement:<\/strong> Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) placed its first order under a multi-year agreement with Canadian global safety tech and manufacturing leader Backline Safety, according to a press release<\/a>. Adnoc will purchase up to 28k safety devices \u2014 including 1k G6 wearable single-gas detectors and 1.2k Backline location beacons \u2014 through Backline Safety\u2019s channel partner, Al Masaood.<\/p>\n

Why this matters: <\/strong>The devices will help Adnoc \u2014 one of the world\u2019s largest offshore oil and gas manufacturers, with a daily yield of 4 mn gallons of oil \u2014 improve its worker safety and operational oversight. The technology detects hazardous gas and provides precise, real-time location data for effective emergency response. <\/p>\n

REAL ESTATE-<\/p>\n

Al Huzaifa launches real estate arm with debut RAK project: <\/strong>UAE-based luxury furniture and interiors brand Al Huzaifa has set up Al Huzaifa Properties, a new real estate development arm, Khaleej Times<\/a> reports. The company\u2019s first project will deliver fully furnished residences on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The island has emerged as one of the emirate\u2019s top luxury destinations, with upcoming residential projects including The Astera<\/a>, the Jacob & Co Residences<\/a>, and Mondrian Beach Residences<\/a>. It is also set to host hospitality and tourism ventures such as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts\u2019 planned 769-key resort<\/a> and the USD 3.9 bn Wynn Al Marjan Island gaming resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FINANCIAL SERVICES-<\/p>\n

Solowin <\/strong>Holdings expands in the Middle East with new Dubai center: <\/strong>Hong Kong-based digital assets-focused fintech Solowin Holdings is launching its Dubai Operations Center and applying for a Category 3C asset management license from the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), according to a press release<\/a>. The financial services firm recently inked an MoU with an unnamed prominent UAE firm in a bid to accelerate its market access. It will initially target institutional clients seeking sharia-compliant products backed by real-world assets and computing power. <\/p>\n

The firm is also integrating \u201cSaudi-based infrastructure resources,\u201d<\/strong> it said without clarifying the details, as it says it looks to contribute to a cross-regional \u201cdigital financial silk road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mutual recognition comes in handy: <\/strong>Solowin picked DIFC due to its mutual recognition of Hong Kong\u2019s Securities and Futures Commission regulatory framework \u2014 which helps fast-track its regulatory approval process to three months. This move is part of a larger strategy to create a digital financial Silk Road, boosting regional investors\u2019 access to digital asset management and tokenized products. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
