The beIN Media Group and its sports channel beIN SPORTS is the official broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup; this year hosted in Qatar in November 2022. To aid the distribution of its content, beIN has now entered a strategic partnership with social media powerhouse Twitter, which will see beIN providing exclusive content from the upcoming event.

beIN SPORTS will share and highlight important match moments throughout the event, giving brands more sponsorship opportunities through Twitter Amplify. The partnership will see 320 videos distributed, with highlights, analysis, and a summary of the important events from each match being shared through the @beINSPORTS Twitter account.

“We have seen a 74% increase in the monthly average volume of football content circulation among the platform’s users compared to the past 12 months. For example, Saudi Arabia alone recorded over 53 million tweets about football so far this year,” says Kinda Ibrahim, Twitter Head of Media Partnerships for the Middle East, Africa, & Turkey.

BeIN SPORTS is the region’s largest broadcaster, and fans will be treated to real-time coverage that will help to contribute to the atmosphere of this exciting event.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
