Valeo of Egypt and Abu Dhabi collaborate to advance the growth of the mobility sector in the emirate.

The alliance will look into possibilities for designing and producing parts for electric and self-driving cars in the emirate.

The Abu Dhabi Department of Economy and Economic Development and Egypt’s Valeo have reached a preliminary agreement that aims to develop the mobility business and support sustainability initiatives in the UAE capital.

The department revealed on Friday that Valeo will be able to design and manufacture components for electric and self-driving automobiles in the emirate as a result of the agreement.

It aims to help the neighborhood’s start-up electric vehicle industry and the community that produces industrial solutions in addition to enlarging existing development zones.

According to Mr. Al Blooshi, the project is in line with the Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy, which aims to strengthen the emirate’s position as the most competitive industrial hub in the region.

In accordance with our aspirations to make sure that development, sustainability, and cutting-edge technologies work hand in hand in all sectors of our socioeconomic development, this cooperation to create smart mobility and establish a technological center for electric, autonomous automobile components in Abu Dhabi.

Smart mobility is the process of creating efficient, sustainable, and user-focused transportation systems using cutting-edge technology and based on data tactics.

The global smart mobility industry will increase at an average yearly growth rate of more than 21%, from $48.54 billion in 2022 to about $404 billion by 2032, according to data from Spherical Insights & Consulting.

According to a forecast by Mordor Intelligence, the global market for autonomous vehicles would increase from $33.48 billion this year to $93.3 billion by 2028, or a CAGR of over 23%.

As part of its initiatives to promote and incorporate sustainability measures into society as well as the economy, the UAE has tried to become a leader in smart mobility systems.

Several programs have been launched to develop autonomous services. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are “well positioned” to be at the cutting edge of the transition to fully developed smart cities thanks to this pillar.

On Yas Island, operated by TXAI, Abu Dhabi has its own fleet of autonomous taxis. TXAI offered a driverless bus service for spectator transportation during the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in November of last year.The emirate is also pressing forward with testing programs for drone deliveries.

Dubai debuted its first autonomous taxis at Gitex Global the previous year. These vehicles would be made available “in limited numbers” starting in 2023.

Dubai planned a fleet of five electric vehicles in April to help with this effort, and by 2030, it hopes to have 4,000 autonomous taxis operating there.

The first autonomous truck experiments in the UAE will be carried out thanks to a cooperation formed in December between Evocargo and Dubai South, an urban master developer focused on aviation and logistics in the emirate.

The Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy intends to more than quadruple the size of the manufacturing industry to Dh172 billion, generate 13,600 skilled jobs, and increase non-oil exports by 143% to Dh178.8 billion by 2031. The emirate has set a capital investment goal of Dh10 billion ($2.72 billion).

Six transformative programs, including circular economy, Industry 4.0, talent development, ecosystems enablement, homegrown supply chain, and value chain development, will serve as its foundation. These programmes are all geared toward fostering growth and innovation, enhancing skills, and supporting local manufacturing.

In addition to having a foothold in Abu Dhabi, the relationship will give Valeo access to the region’s technological know-how, according to Mr. Aly.

According to him, Valeo will be able to impart its knowledge “to the highly technological and technologically advanced societies in Abu Dhabi.”

UAE: Consequences await for IT leaders who ignore AI

In a recent study, EMEA IT leaders were the most unsure about their infrastructure’s capacity to meet AI needs.

AE If they want to stay competitive, IT leaders cannot afford to overlook the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI).

A startling 77 percent of IT leaders in the UAE feel their current IT infrastructure is capable of meeting the demands of the most modern technologies, according to a new Equinix survey.

In terms of adoption of AI across many industries, the UAE is emerging as a leader, outpacing other nations in terms of readiness.

The study, which examined the viewpoints of IT professionals on AI developments within their organizations, comes on the heels of a year that saw tremendous improvements in AI implementation in both the business-to-business and business-to-consumer sectors.

In order to power modern enterprises with intelligent and autonomous technologies, Kaladhar Voruganti, Senior Technologist at Equinix, emphasizes the need of incorporating AI into organizations worldwide. Voruganti cautions that people who miss the opportunity to benefit from AI run the risk of falling behind.

According to Equinix’s global survey of 2,900 IT decision-makers, adoption of AI is on the rise in all business sectors. A startling 85% of respondents worldwide said they intended to take advantage of AI’s benefits, with many having already used it or preparing to do so for a number of crucial tasks.

The UAE has the highest usage or projected implementation of AI in IT operations (97%) and the lowest rates in cybersecurity (95%) and sales (95%) respectively.

For the effective creation of precise AI models, Voruganti emphasizes the significance of secure and quick access to both internal and external data sources dispersed over numerous clouds and data brokers. In order to increase speed, privacy, and cost-efficiency, he emphasizes that AI processing must move to the edge as more data is generated there.

Tech executives can think about hybrid solutions that let AI model learning and inference take place in diverse places in order to satisfy these objectives. Scalable AI solutions also call for careful IT framework planning to support the ingest, sharing, storage, and processing of enormous and varied information while putting sustainability first.

In comparison to the global average, Kamel Al-Tawil, Managing Director at Equinix MENA, notes that UAE firms exhibit a higher level of comfort in adjusting to the expanding use of AI. Al-Tawil credits the visionary leadership in the nation, which announced its Intelligent Systems Strategy in 2017 with the objective of being the global leader in AI by 2031, with this accomplishment.

With 49 percent of them voicing concerns, IT leaders in the EMEA region are the most unsure about their infrastructure’s capacity to meet AI’s requirements. Leaders in the Americas indicate the lowest amount of uncertainty, at 32%, while those in the Asia-Pacific area exhibit the highest level, at 44%.

The poll emphasizes the requirement for education and collaboration to enable IT teams in optimizing the deployment of such infrastructure in addition to the necessity to update digital infrastructure. 52 percent of companies who are growing their IT teams are actively looking for AI and machine learning specialists.

Overall, the study highlights how crucial it is for IT leaders in the UAE and elsewhere to embrace AI and make sure their infrastructure is AI-ready because failing to do so could cause them to fall behind rivals in this quickly changing technological world.
