Wired Middle East - Summer 2023

Dans ce numéro

The Summer 2023 issue of WIRED Middle East explores the region’s startup landscape, recognizing the limitless creativity, ambition, and entrepreneurial spirit of Arab startup founders. As the startup scene becomes increasingly sophisticated, analysts expect the MENA region to spawn 100 unicorns (startups valued at $1 billion) by 2030, up from six this year. WIRED invites you to join our issue celebrating the ambitious innovators who have transformed the Middle East into a Silicon Oasis, bringing to life ideas that solve real issues faced by people in the region.
As we take a closer look at the sector, we identify the top startups in the region across industries and verticals, selected by the WIRED Middle East editorial team. Our magazine will take readers on a journey through the booming world of financial technology in all its iterations as we explore its impact on financial literacy. We also look under the hood of the Middle East’s obsession with driverless vehicles, examining the reality of bringing them into the mainstream in smart cities of the future. We’ll whisk you away to that very promising future, as we profile game-changing young companies presenting exciting new ways to make our environment cleaner, whether they are reducing water use in agriculture, automating deliveries, or innovating in cleantech.
We also take a quick detour into the past and explore the art and science of preserving Egypt’s treasure-trove of ancient artifacts. As usual, we round up the best in gear this season, from luxury yachts to watches, with a special feature on how to responsibly and safely dispose of your smartphone at the end of its life. Join us for an exciting ride through the world of startups, where ambition and vision are in abundance, and there’s always another round of funding to look forward to.
