AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Saudi SME Digital Boost: Adobe, MCIT and HUMAIN (PIF) will give over 27m eligible Saudi citizens and residents free access for 12 months to Adobe Firefly Standard and Adobe Express Premium, aiming to supercharge local creative output and small-business content creation. Oman SME Cash-Flow Relief: Riyada and Nama Electricity Supply launch “Riyada Plus” for SMEs with Riyada Entrepreneurship Cards, offering flexible payment plans for electricity dues and support to cut bills via more efficient usage. UAE Real Estate Dealmaking: Reportage Group joins Dubai’s IPS 2026 as a Diamond Sponsor, highlighting its fast sales growth and expanding international footprint—useful signals for developers and SME suppliers tied to construction demand. Iran Trade Shock: A reinstated US naval blockade is reported to have disrupted over 80% of Iran’s heavy imports and non-oil exports, with freight delays and soaring costs hitting everyday livelihoods and business continuity. Saudi Quantum Partnerships: KACST (NCQT) signs a research collaboration with Pasqal to develop quantum-safe cryptography readiness, a potential long-term tailwind for tech firms working on secure systems. SME Funding Trend: A new report projects global crowdfunding growth from $25.72bn (2026) to $96.40bn by 2035, driven by more accessible early-stage financing and tokenized, borderless micro-investing.
