Is this the start of an AI corridor with Silicon Valley—or just giga-scale marketing with insane power numbers?- Founders Fund makes its first lead bet in Saudi with Mnzil. Is this a one-off “tourist” deal, or the beginning of a long-term GCC thesis from top US funds?- Climatetech finally feels real: Strataphy is using geothermal cooling to cut data centre energy bills in half. Is this just climatetech—or the hidden AI infrastructure that will power the region’s superclusters?- And Finally, Robots hit the construction site. Buildroid AI is rolling out block-laying robots in the UAE. In markets built on cheap labour, will construction robotics actually make economic sense? ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---
