In this issue

This issue edition of WIRED Middle East is all about innovation. The clue’s in the name! The Innovation Issue is packed with stories of people and companies that are changing the world around us in one way or another. It starts on the cover, filled with doodles and sketches, much like the scribbles that brought to life many of the world’s greatest ideas. You can color it or imagine it any way you like.
Inside the issue, we’re all about celebrating the best and brightest innovators from across the region, so there’s a lot to cover.

We start off in Saudi, where we talk to two Public Investment Fund companies: Savvy Games, and KSA’s big move to create the future of the gaming industry; then, we move to Riyadh Air, a pioneering airline that’s going to connect the Kingdom like never before through the power of modern tech and contemporary approache. We also dig deep into the country’s plans to leverage the power of underground minerals and materials in a fascinating piece about mining.
From there, we learn to walk again with some fantastic brain-computer connections. We dive into VR and AR to discover virtual worlds. Headsets off, we speak to a number of experts about our ‘digital will’, a legal document that covers what you want to be done with your social media and digital legacy after you shuffle off this mortal coil.

We discover how mRNA vaccines are changing the way we combat disease. We also look at social media’s quarter-life crisis, studying how social media platforms are working to evolve and change in a landscape that seems all too comfortable copying and pasting ideas from competitors. We meet an artist who uses trash and used items to create stunning garbage collages that educate us on our disposable single-use culture. Finally, we explore the ultimate in watches from some of the most famous names in the industry, pieces that you and your family will treasure forever.

So, dive into the Innovation Issue and get inspired, create something great!
