Congratulations to Dr. Bader al-Hajri, Gulf-Africa GASPI Representative in Qatar 🇶🇦 Elected President of Arab Federation for Artificial Intelligence

CITY, Qatar — In a decisive move to strengthen the Arab world's presence on the global technological stage, Dr. Bader bin Dalham al-Fahd al-Hajri has been elected as the new President of the Arab Federation for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Programming.

The landmark appointment was announced following an extraordinary meeting of the federation's Board of Directors, which saw high-level attendance from representatives of its member states.

A Mission for Integration and Regulation

In a statement issued following his election, Dr. al-Hajri emphasized that the federation represents a crucial institutional Arab framework to unify regional efforts in AI and programming.

A key priority for the new leadership will be supporting efforts to build a comprehensive, unified Arab regulatory framework for AI.

"Establishing integrated Arab regulatory and legislative frameworks is no longer an option but a necessity," Dr. al-Hajri stated. He stressed that these frameworks are essential to bridging the existing international regulatory gap and ensuring that AI technologies are used responsibly and ethically. A primary focus will be on preserving the distinct cultural values and strategic interests of Arab countries in the digital age.

Action Plan for a New Era

Looking ahead, Dr. al-Hajri outlined a comprehensive strategic vision for the next phase, which will prioritize:

Capacity Building: Developing training and research initiatives designed to nurture and develop Arab talent.

Academic Collaboration: Preparing for the launch of joint projects with Arab universities and research centers.

Sector Innovation: Promoting scientific research and innovation in vital sectors, including health, education, and energy.

Youth Empowerment: Organizing specialized conferences and workshops, and launching competition and incentive initiatives to support technological entrepreneurship among Arab youth.

The new president emphasized that strengthening the Arab presence in shaping international policies and standards is critical, as AI is now a fundamental pillar of the global economy.

International Partnerships and the Role of Qatar

A central component of the future strategy will involve building new regional and international partnerships. These partnerships aim to consolidate the position of Arab countries as active participants in shaping the global digital future.

Dr. al-Hajri affirmed that the federation's vision aligns closely with Qatar's strategic role as a hub for innovation and digital transformation. He pointed to Qatar's advanced infrastructure and significant investments in AI and technology as a foundation upon which the federation can build its regional initiatives.

This strategic approach is expected to play a critical role in:

Stemming the "brain drain" of skilled individuals from the

Recent progress includes the opening of Britain's first commercial rare earth magnet plant in 25 years, operated by Mkango Resources' HyProMag unit in Birmingham, which uses recycled materials to produce ​magnets for electric ​motors and ⁠other technologies.

The new funding will be split across three pillars, including £20 million for a rare earth magnet hub, £25 million ⁠for ​an accelerator programme to help scale projects, ​and up to £5 million for a platform to aggregate industry demand and unlock ​private investment.

Your playbook is so transparent it is untrue. The only naive ones are the fools that fall for your game.

Ok could be 12 -15 weeks then, really your impatience is now getting the best of you.

The stock market is a wonderfully efficient mechanism for transferring wealth from the impatient to the patient.

Rehashing the same narrative day over day, is not going to expediate long-form documentation and completion which are expected in the coming weeks."

First tranche of 15 million has been received, now waiting for the finale tranche, in the meantime speculating there is a problem shows impatience of investing on the stock market, as relayed in the coming weeks, could be 4 could be 8 weeks.

Just trying to get my head around this comparison IXR has put out today to MKA page 23 - seams very mischievous to say the least.

You would not know by the recent pump before a credit raise, as i said, straight out of the aim textbook.

I scenery hope none of you got caught in this latest pump, as we saw this a mile off, straight out of the aim classic textbook, ask yourself would you trust a company that does this to its shareholders?

To predictable the pump and then an investor presentation then the Credit Raise.

Leaky ship alright, all loaded up to sell into PIs

Very leaky ship here, management letting their mates in first, hope the market judges it accordantly.

I’m sure your voting capacity will have a huge influence on the outcome of the vote :)

Bring on the $160million, fantastic job management

Why on earth are you invested in something you don't believe in. Grow a pair and sell and invest in something you do believe in. Take the splinters out of your *rse on the way out.

Keith - If your friends are basing their investment decisions on your advice and you don't understand that holding/buying right now is the only play, then I'd advise them to invest in something they do understand. I also think you are doing the right thing by selling your shares if you are so disappointed.

The bottom line is if you understand what you hold and the share price goes down you still sleep well at night. I have a friend that bought a small number of shares off the back of my advice and he texts me every time the share price drops. In hindsight, I've realised he isn't really interested in the company, has no interest in learning about the business and he is incredibly risk averse. I regret telling him to buy.

FWIW I'm sleeping like a baby at the moment.

In terms of Nasdaq, there are many clues as to what is about to happen. One is Pensana have publicly announced they do not need to consolidate. To list on the Nasdaq requires a minimum share price of $4. I could be wrong but if I think what is about to happen, happens, the company will list on the Nasdaq at between £3.50 and £5. Maybe more. Timing? They've said they wish to list mid 2026 (a clue in itself as the company initially said they wanted to list in Q1 2026).

p.s. Mothballing Saltend in favour of a 'US mine to magnet strategy' was entirely the right decision and is the reason why this company will become so valuable.

Seams HMG is opening the purse strings on REE recycling.

Any thoughts on the pros and cons of IXR?
