UAE Tech Podcast

Al Bawaba Business

UAE Tech Podcast is an exploration on how technology is merging with and reshaping government in the United Arab Emirates. A little understood but fundamental transition is taking place across a series of Emirates first established less than fifty years ago, in 1971. It’s here that the center of technological gravity is shifting from the private sector to a hybrid relationship involving industrialists, entrepreneurs, diplomats, policymakers, creatives and citizens. It’s also here that signs of a Fourth Industrial Revolution are emerging. In this series John Lillywhite talks with leaders from across the UAE in an effort to map these macro trends, and probe how innovations in big data, network science and digitalisation are not simply revolutionising government, but could - one day - play a role in influencing the systems that power global civilization itself.

CypherCapital has evolved into a global presence, investments and insights. How did CyperCapital fare during COVID-19 and the ‘crypto-winter’? Are there signs Web3 is maturing from cowboy pump-and-dump to mainstream solutions? Will Gaming and Web3 really be the next big thing? Stay tuned for a conversation that probably should have happened earlier in the series.
