Wired Middle East - Autumn 2020

En este número

WIRED Middle East’s Autumn edition examines how societies across the region are being transformed from within, via a raft of tech-driven initiatives that promise to radically reshape the way we live and work. The issue explores transformation in all its forms: from the creation of Saudi Arabia’s vast gigaprojects, to the tectonic shifts in how companies and governments operate, and how digitalization poses both opportunities and risks for society. The magazine cover features Prince Faisal bin Bandar, a member of the Saudi royal family and son of the kingdom’s former ambassador to the US. Prince Faisal heads up Saudi Arabia’s esports federation—one of the key elements in tech-driven change in the country. Other interviewees include senior government figures spearheading transformation in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and beyond. The Transformation Issue also looks at how the UAE’s recently announced space mission to the moon promises to have real transformative effect down here on Earth.
