Saudi Aviation Sector Embraces Tech To Meet Vision 2030 Goals
The kingdom aims to become a global logistics hub and attract 100 million tourists by 2030.
Saudi Arabia is rapidly becoming a highly sought-after tourist destination, and in response to growing demand, the aviation industry requires year-on-year development on an increasingly large scale. As aviation is one of the most environmentally damaging sectors, mitigating harmful emissions is crucial to helping the Kingdom meet its ambitious Vision 2030 goals.
According to a recent report by the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center, developing modern, high-tech aviation technologies could enhance Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector and simultaneously meet the requirements of growing volumes of tourists.
Co-author of the report, Abdulrahman Alwosheel, noted that Saudi Arabia enjoys a “strategic geopolitical position” and is a key location that connects the Asia-Pacific region to Europe and America. Developing this logistics hub is a critical component of the Vision 2030 roadmap.

The National Tourism Strategy of Saudi Arabia plans to attract 100 million visitors by 2030, which could account for up to 10% of the Kingdom’s GDP. Meeting these lofty goals will require significant infrastructure improvements, as well as large-scale investment in innovative new technology and a highly-skilled workforce.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine
Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.
Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.
Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.
“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.
The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.
The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
