Bioniq, a health-tech company leveraging blood biomarker data to provide tailor-made supplements, yesterday announced the closing of a $15M Series B funding program. The oversubscribed round was led by Principal Investors HV Capital and Unbound.

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.

Samsung And Spotify Offer Free Premium Deal In MENA

Nearly seven in ten streams in the region come from 18-to-34-year-olds — the audience Samsung is hoping to entice into its ecosystem.

Samsung has announced a partnership with Spotify spanning the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye, bundling Spotify Premium with select devices across its ecosystem. The headline offer — up to four months of Premium for free — is a first for the region.

Customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Türkiye who buy any OLED or 98-inch television, or any Galaxy S or Z series mobile device, get four months of Spotify Premium. The offer, tiered by market and device, is available at retail and on Samsung.com, and redeemed through the Samsung Promotion and Samsung Members apps.

For Samsung, the strategy is less about free music than about lock-in. The Korean tech giant’s pitch is continuity: a track starts on a Galaxy smartphone through Galaxy Buds on the commute, moves to a Samsung TV and soundbar in the living room, and stays controllable from a Galaxy Watch. The more seamlessly music travels between those devices, the harder it becomes to swap any one of them for a rival’s.

“Technology should bring people closer to the things they love, and few things connect people the way music does,” said Omar Saheb, Regional VP of Marketing and Online Business at Samsung Electronics MENA. The partnership, he added, gives customers “a genuine reason to choose Samsung for the experience, not only the product”.

For subscribers, Premium brings the usual package: ad-free listening, offline downloads, richer audio quality on Galaxy Buds and Samsung sound devices, and Jam, which lets friends build a shared queue.

“At Spotify, we are always working to make every listening moment feel more personal, meaningful, and worth it,” said Rami Jamal, Head of Partnerships at Spotify for South Asia, Middle East, and Africa.

The demographics go a long way to explaining the strategy. Across MENA, Türkiye, and Pakistan, nearly seven in ten Spotify streams come from listeners aged 18 to 34, according to the company — precisely the audience Samsung wants inside its hardware ecosystem before buying habits harden.
