Tech predictions look at an increased integration of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 3D printing across all sectors.

With this edition of Innovation & Tech, we are pleased to highlight a trend in its early stages of adoption in the MENA region. Mobility used to mean having a phone and access to email, contacts and web browsing, and little else. But in advanced markets, things are changing with almost a third of the workforce now “anytime, anywhere information workers” who use three or more devices. In the MENA market, we are seeing accelerating interest in the development and use of custom enterprise mobile apps, transforming the way in which organizations work.

This edition of Innovation & Tech brings you a feature story that is hot off the coals from the guruspeak at World Economic Forum at Davos. Artificial intelligence is the key ingredient of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which according to our global leaders, “will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before.” Another key ingredient is the Internet of Things and we examine the state of play of both these concepts as they relate to our life and work in our region.

We have focused, in this issue, on smart ways for SMEs to operate in a cost constrained environment. We have a feature on how cost issues will drive companies to adopt cloud computing and ways in which a robust IoT infrastructure can drive revenue and value for business. On the innovation front, we bring you the story of Cwikwin, a local app developed for the marketing industry and of Cary!, the UAE’s online marketplace sans the pesky ads. We also devote a considerable piece on the maturing Bitcoin economy and how that needs to be factored in by regional and local businesses going forward.
