Bioniq entered the UAE in 2021, and has since expanded across the Gulf region. The company has partnered with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, along with Metabolic, a digital therapeutics company, and Al Borg Diagnostics, a leading provider of diagnostic services in Saudi Arabia.

“We’ve entered a new era in nutritional supplementation over the last six years, where it’s become clear that one-size-fits-all solutions are simply inefficient,” said Vadim Fedotov, co-founder and CEO of Bioniq. “Everyone’s health journey is unique. Customers need advanced, adaptable products that provide evolving support for personal health goals. Our AI-driven approach and extensive biochemical database allow us to create customized supplements that provide quantifiable results and cater to individuals’ specific needs”.

Over the last decade, Bioniq has developed a huge biochemical database, leveraging blood test data from clients spanning 5 continents. The AI-powered algorithm used by the company assesses each individual’s height, weight, age, lifestyle, and health goals to create tailor-made supplements that optimize health and address micronutrient imbalances.

Bioniq’s supplements are “Swiss-made, pharmaceutical-grade and utilize precise micro-dosing to address bio-individual needs and deficiencies”. Each formula features a unique blend of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids and prebiotics delivered in granules. The supplements are designed to mimic the way the body assimilates food, thus maximizing bioavailability.

“Bioniq’s innovative approach to nutrition is based on the idea that everyone has different nutritional needs and deficiencies, and that generic multivitamins are not enough to address them. We are impressed by Bioniq’s vision and technology, and we believe that they are disrupting the supplement industry with their personalized and science-based approach. We are excited to support them as they grow and scale their business,” explained Shravin Mittal, CEO of Unbound.

neopay wants to follow merchants across channels and borders

It’s been a long time since checkouts were single defined places. A merchant might take payments at a physical register, on its own website and through an online marketplace, sometimes in more than one country. NEOPAY wants to follow those transactions wherever they happen.

The UAE payments company has entered into an agreement to acquire a 65% controlling stake in noon payments. NEOPAY already runs the acquiring infrastructure that lets merchants accept card payments, along with omnichannel acceptance and a merchant services platform. This new deal would add noon payments’ embedded payments platform, e-commerce gateway and merchant network across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. That would considerably expand both NEOPAY’s digital commerce capabilities and its regional reach.

For merchants, the attraction is a single provider for online and in-store payments, plus faster settlements, data and analytics, and value-added financial services.

“Payments should be simple, reliable, and built for the markets they serve,” said Faraz Khalid, CEO of noon. His counterpart at NEOPAY, Vibhor Mundhada, added: “We have built a strong payments business in the UAE, and our ambition is now to take that capability across the region”. The acquisition, Mundhada added, would “expand our footprint into Saudi Arabia and Egypt” while reinforcing NEOPAY’s position at home.

NEOPAY is also keen to point out potential payment volume increases. The company says noon payments’ integrations with marketplace sellers and online merchants create high transaction density in some of the region’s fastest-growing digital commerce segments. It also believes control of the business would give it access to those merchant relationships and payment flows, and speed up the rollout of alternative payment methods and installment options.

The combined roadmap targets faster merchant onboarding, better payment performance, tighter fraud controls and embedded financial services. The deal could also strengthen cross-border payments and settlement along key regional commerce corridors.
