Goals and objectives:  "Our product is for the whole world"-plays a role in implementing with the P2P, O2O,  and G2G system with a view to formation “Free World Economic Order” for securing economical self -reliance as well as world service. 

Alhamdulillah, we (WTIC) reach our goals by getting started on a platform built for B2B with ROI under Linkedin.

Reach our B2B marketing objectives with these top ad formats Whether you are building your brand, driving engagement or generating leads, LinkedIn Ads champions your success through every stage of the funnel. How A/B testing works on LinkedIn Before you conduct an A/B test, you must first identify a single campaign element to test: creative, timing, audience, etc. This should be a strategic choice that tests a hypothesis, such as “Audiences react more favorably to brightly color-themed ad” Once you have identified which variable you are testing, you will know which KPIs to pay attention to when measuring performance. In order to conduct a scientifically sound A/B test, you need to create two identical campaigns: A and B. The A campaign will act as a control. The B campaign will be your test campaign. Create a first campaign in Campaign Manager. Once you have built this campaign, make a duplicate. This new campaign is your second campaign. Now change one element in the second campaign, such as swapping in a brighter background image or a differently worded CTA. When your first and second campaigns are ready, launch them simultaneously and monitor their performance. When reviewing your target KPIs and overall campaign metrics, you will quickly see how an isolated change impacts audience response, giving you insight into how to optimize current and future campaigns.  Testing Tools To Empower Your Marketing LinkedIn Campaign Manager offers a number of data-driven predictive tools that empower marketers to make the most of their campaigns. Another one of these tools is Brand Lift Testing. Much like A/B testing, Brand Lift Testing is designed to scientifically analyze campaign performances. Brand Lift Testing compares brand perception between a group of members who have seen your ads and a group who have not. It then determines the incremental impact of your campaigns on key brand metrics. By utilizing these optimization tools in Campaign Manager, you can drastically reduce your time to realize greater campaign ROI. With this strategy in place, you can move forward with confidence knowing you’re maximizing the value of your ad spend on LinkedIn. Learn more about how to use these campaign optimization features available in Campaign Manager.

.Outlook Update: How Are B2B Marketing Budgets Changing Right Now?

They say money makes the world go round. I don’t know about that (magnetic poles play a role), but money is certainly the driving force behind marketing strategies. Being equipped with resources to employ great talent, produce excellent work, and invest in the success of your content is essential.

In the current economic conditions, budgets are a major topic of conversation. It’s valuable to have the latest context around how organizations are spending, and within that, where they are allocating their budgets. 

Fortunately, we have quite a bit of new data to review that can help paint a clear picture of the current state of B2B marketing budgets. Let’s explore where things stand as we enter the second half of the year. But first, we’ll take a look backward to reacquaint ourselves with expectations heading into 2023.

Looking Back at 2023 Marketing Budget Forecasts

Back in December, we looked ahead at anticipated 2023 B2B marketing budget trends. At the time, business leaders were weighing the probability of a recession as they set plans for the coming year. One survey found that 60% of B2B marketers were facing reduced or stagnating budgets.

In spite of this harsh reality, marketers weren’t feeling too down: 80% expressed a neutral to optimistic outlook for 2023. 

And as it turns out, that optimism appears to have been well warranted for the most part.

Where B2B Marketing Budgets Stand Now and Going Forward

The newly released B2B Marketing Benchmark report from LinkedIn and Ipsos found that six out 10 B2B leaders say their budgets have increased in the past year. Meanwhile, two in three expect their budgets to increase in the coming year. 

A majority of respondents (52%) are anticipating increases in the 1-24% range. However, the portion expecting significant budget increases (25% or more) is larger than the portion expecting decreases of any kind.

Even as organizations weather the storm of economic uncertainty, they are continuing to show faith in the marketing function, with investments to back it up. In the B2B Marketing Benchmark, 86% of respondents said they were either confident or optimistic about the marketing team’s ability to drive revenue. And in the latest State of B2B Marketing Budgets report from Integrate, 84% of marketers reported having a neutral to optimistic outlook for the rest of this year – up from 80% six months earlier.

For those B2B marketers whose budgets are holding strong or trending upward, it’s a key moment of opportunity to make an impact and deliver upon this faith. That means spending smartly. 

How B2B Marketing Budgets Are Being Allocated Globally

"It is well documented that keeping brand and demand spends high during a slowdown helps brands bounce back quicker when the market comes back. However, what is not clear is the delineation of marketing budgets toward customers vs. net new leads." - Ricky Abbott, President of Transmission, in the B2B Marketing Benchmark

To ensure they’re properly accounting for both driving short-term sales and generating future demand, B2B marketers are broadly embracing a full-funnel approach. While Lead Generation has the largest share of budget allocation globally at 36%, Brand Building & Awareness is not far behind at 30%. Demand Generation checks in at a 20% share.

These trends are largely consistent across different geographies, although notably Brand Building & Awareness leads the way in the Latin America (LATAM) region. The Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region has the starkest contrast between lead generation and branding, a 12-percent gap, hinting at an opportunity for forward-thinking brands to gain Extra Share of Voice.

Respondents in the B2B Marketing Benchmark were also asked how they were splitting their budgetary commitments toward customer retention versus generating new business. Overwhelmingly, B2B marketers are emphasizing the acquisition of new customers.

The survey found that seven in 10 B2B leaders are focusing their budgets on generating new business. Among different industry sectors parsed out in the report, Tech (85%) was most likely to allocate budget to new business, edging out Agencies (72%), Financial Services (70%), Professional Services (68%), Health (67%) and Education (59%).

The lopsided allocation toward new business versus retention holds true across all regions, though it’s slightly less drastic in Asia-Pacific (APAC).

It’s not surprising that B2B marketers are being tasked with translating their spend into new customers, although the value of marketing to existing customers shouldn’t be overlooked. Not only is retention key to a sustainable revenue model for most businesses (especially SaaS and agencies), but this practice can also create new profit channels, with relatively lower lifts than acquiring net-new business.

The State of B2B Marketing Budgets 2023 report from Integrate found that 57% of marketers are optimizing for growth by leveraging customer marketing to drive upsells and cross-sells. 

Make  B2B Marketing Investments Count

To recap, examining the latest data and research, we find that:

• B2B marketing budgets have generally risen in the past year and are expected to rise in the next year.
• B2B marketing leaders increasingly express optimism in their ability to deliver on revenue expectations.
• Lead Generation has the highest share of budget allocation, but Brand Building & Awareness is not far behind.
• B2B companies around the world are overwhelmingly focusing their budgets on acquiring new business – perhaps to a fault.

While budget forecasts like these tell a relatively favorable story, it’s also a subjective one that can quickly change based on economic tides. There are still plenty of challenges ahead, amid growing pressure on B2B leaders to demonstrate the impact of marketing spend. It is all the more critical to allocate budget wisely and invest in tactics, channels and partners you can trust to deliver.

Hopefully this insight helps inform your planning as you assess budgeting and strategies for the rest of 2023 and onward into 2024. Make sure to check out the B2B Marketing Benchmark for a full exploration of the state of B2B, and subscribe to our blog for continual news and insight. 

In business, ROI, or Return on Investment

 In business, ROI, or Return on Investment, is a metric that measures the profitability of an investment by comparing the gain or loss relative to its cost. It's essentially a percentage that tells you how much profit you made for every dollar you invested. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• What it is:

ROI is a financial ratio that helps businesses evaluate the success of their investments. 

·  ·  How it's calculated:

The formula is: (Net Profit / Cost of Investment) x 100. Net Profit: The total return from the investment minus the initial cost. 

·  ·  Cost of Investment: The total amount spent on the investment.

·What it tells you:

ROI provides a clear picture of how profitable an investment is and can be used to compare different investment options. 

·  ·  Why it's important:

Businesses use ROI to make informed decisions about where to invest their money, assess the success of their marketing campaigns, and more. 

·  ·  Example:

If you invest $10,000 and generate $2,000 in profit, your ROI would be (2000/10000) x 100 = 2

Understanding ROI for Small Businesses

What is marketing ROI?

What is marketing ROI? It’s the return on investment (ROI) that marketing quantifies to justify how marketing programs and campaigns generate revenue for the business.

ROI is short for return on investment. And in this case, it is measuring the money your company spends on marketing campaigns against the revenue those campaigns generate.

Why is ROI important?

Before starting any new campaign it's important to understand your numbers. They might be estimates at first, but even having benchmarks can help you set a target to measure your campaign's success. Today’s marketing is no longer a simple matter of “getting traffic.” It’s a complex process with multifaceted strategies across digital and traditional platforms.

To make informed decisions about where to spend your time and budget, you need to know the cost of each strategy. Once you understand your marketing costs, you can make better decisions to create revenue streams that make your business more profitable.

There are several types of marketing ROI:

• Revenue/bookings
• Cost per acquisition (CPA) ratio
• Sales cycle days
• Engagement duration
• Customer lifetime value (CLTV)

It's important to know the difference between each type. For example, revenue/bookings are measured in either net sales or bookings. CPA, on the other hand, is measured in either sales or marketing leads. Regardless of the ROI you choose to track, most of them are calculated in the same way.

Ways to calculate marketing ROI

Using cost ratio to determine ROI

Alternatively, you can track marketing ROI by looking at the cost ratio, or efficiency ratio. This formula calculates how much money is generated for every marketing dollar spent.

The cost ratio = revenue generated: marketing dollars spent

An efficient marketing campaign may result in a cost ratio of 5:1—that is, $5 generated for every $1 spent, with a simple marketing ROI of 400%. An excellent campaign might see a cost ratio of $10 generated for every dollar spent (10:1) with a simple marketing ROI of 900%.

NOTE: Simple ROI = (sales – marketing cost)/marketing cost

Using direct and indirect revenue attribution

Most marketers measure the marketing ROI of programs via either direct or indirect revenue attribution. With direct attribution, all of the revenue from a sale is attributed to only one marketing touch. In the example above, most marketers would credit the last touch before the prospect buys. With indirect attribution, the revenue from the sale is apportioned evenly across all touches.

Marketers should stop choosing direct over indirect attribution and instead use both. In this model, marketers can compare the programs that were most effective at getting prospects to buy with those that were influential across multiple sales. That way marketing ROI becomes a key component of an enterprise revenue performance management strategy.Are your marketing investments paying off?

Bidding for keywords. Commissioning content. Sponsoring events. Putting logos on NASCAR vehicles. Marketers make hundreds of buying decisions as they seek to achieve their objectives. But how can you be sure your investments are truly paying off? And how can you make continual improvements in your investments? If you want to understand how your buying decisions affect your organization’s overall growth and revenue objectives, focus on calculating your marketing ROI.

The challenges of calculating marketing ROI?

Calculating marketing ROI seems like it should be easy—especially when you consider that today’s marketers have access to powerful reporting and tracking tools through web analytics, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and cross-channel marketing analysis. Marketers can use these tools to track the money they spend on marketing programs that generate sales and revenue. How hard could it be to connect the dots?

Unfortunately, it’s sometimes difficult to attribute marketing ROI to any one program or campaign. Here’s why: suppose your organization spends heavily on social media. A specific Tweet brings a prospect to your website (easy to measure via web analytics), where she signs up for your newsletter (easy to measure via a marketing automation system). So far, so good.

But what if the prospect doesn’t end up buying anything from your organization for months? Meanwhile, she visits your organization’s website four times, clicks through on three marketing newsletter articles, downloads information, and also attends an event.

Which of these touches should receive credit for the revenue? Should it be the first touch—the original Tweet? Or should it be the newsletter, which obviously appealed to the prospect because she opened each issue and even clicked through on three articles? Or what about the event, which was the last touch before the prospect finally became a customer?

Determining customer lifetime value (CLV)

Customer lifetime value is the total worth of your customer’s business throughout the entire duration of their relationship with your company. It is an important metric because it costs less to get more business from an existing customer than to acquire a new one, so focusing your marketing efforts on your existing customers is a great way to drive growth.

Customer lifetime value, or CLV, goes hand in hand with another key metric we've already discussed: customer acquisition cost. Customer acquisition cost is the money you invest to get a new customer to purchase your product or service, including advertising, marketing, and special offers. The value of the customer's purchases throughout their entire lifecycle is important to remember when considering customer acquisition cost.

Let's say it costs you $15 to attract a new customer. The total sales you can expect per customer is your average order value, divided by one, minus the repeat purchase rate (50% + 1% = 0.1% = $55.56). Subtract your customer acquisition costs, and you get a lifetime customer value of $40.56. Subtract your purchase costs to determine the full customer lifetime value.

Let’s break down the calculation of customer lifetime value. In other words, for your CLV calculation, you need to calculate the average order value and multiply it by the customer's repeat rate. You can find the customer’s repeat rate by checking your organization's records to find out how much revenue has resulted from their purchases over a given period (for example, one year) and how many purchases have been made in that period.

Brand loyalty is another critical factor when considering the value of a customer’s business over time. Customers who are loyal to your brand will keep coming back and continue to purchase from your company. If a customer does not feel any loyalty to your brand, a competitor could lure them away—and there goes your investment. Which is why it is so important to continue to invest in your existing customers with loyalty programs, check-in emails, and other marketing efforts so that they continue to generate revenue.

In marketing, ROI, or Return on Investment, measures the profitability of marketing campaigns by comparing revenue generated to the cost of those campaigns. It helps determine how effectively marketing efforts are contributing to overall company growth and revenue.

Trade and Invest in Mozambique

Mozambique offers significant trade and investment potential, primarily driven by its rich natural resources (coal, gas, graphite, rubies) and growing sectors like agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and infrastructure, supported by government incentives like tax breaks in Special Economic Zones and simplified visa processes for investors, with key opportunities in energy, mining, agriculture, and related services, facilitated by the Agency for Investment Promotion and Exports (APIEX). 

How to Invest in Mozambique?

Mozambique is situated on the south-eastern coast of Africa. It borders Tanzania to the north, Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe to the west and South Africa and Swaziland to the south. This location puts the country in a strategic position in the Southern African region with its ports giving easy access to international markets and being the first choice for regional importers and exporters. Mozambique is an attractive destination for investments.  In this article you will find an overview of investment opportunities, as provided by the Mozambique Investment and Export Promotion Agency (APIEX).

The Mozambican economy has registered remarkable growth in the last decade benefitting from substantial inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) into various sectors, notably agriculture and agro-industry, tourism, infrastructure development, energy, fisheries and aquaculture, industry, mineral resources (mainly coal and gas) and banking, among others.

Mozambique has Membership Agreements with of the ICSID, MIGA and ICC and a signatory to bilateral investment promotion and protection agreements with many countries around the globe including China, South Africa, Germany, Algeria, Belgium, Botswana, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, USA, USA (OPIC), Finland, France, Indonesia, Italy, Mauritius, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom (UK), Vietnam, Zimbabwe, India, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, Brazil, Singapore and Turkey.

WHY INVEST IN MOZAMBIQUE?

Mozambique has both comparative and competitive advantages, which are supplemented with good governance.

·         Strategic location (as a gateway to the Southern African Development Community, SADC): Providing infrastructure that gives access to land-locked SADC countries (ports, railways, pipelines and roads);

·         Rich and diverse natural resources: Vast land reserves, mineral resources, water and a diverse cultural and historical heritage;

·         Abundant labor force: availability of a competitive, educated and easily trainable labor force;

·         Sustainable economic growth: Mozambique is expected to grow in average around 7% every year from 2022, as a result of the LNG Projects and will be one of the fastest growing economies in the Sub-Saharan Africa for years to come.

·         Increased investment into infrastructure: infrastructure development is one of the country’s top priorities and public-private partnerships are encouraged.

INVESTMENT PRIORITY SECTORS

AGRICULTURE

Mozambique has tropical to sub-tropical climate with fertile soil, ample rainfall, 36 million hectares of arable land, mostly unutilized and irrigable area estimated at about 3.0 million hectares, eight river basins considered the most favorable for the development of irrigation, Maputo, Limpopo, Búzi, Zambezi, Licungo, Melúli, Lúrio and Rovuma.

Mozambique identified 15 strategic value chains with greatest opportunities: maize, rice, potatoes, beans, cassava, poultry, meat, sweet potatoes, vegetables, banana, sugar, sesame, soy, cotton, cashew-nut, macadamia and paprika.

INDUSTRY

The Government has assigned the role of economic driver by transforming and adding value to the country’s abundant natural resources and thus promoting the diversification and expansion of the supply of locally produced goods and services and, consequently, stimulating exports and substituting imports.

Investment opportunities almost all over the country food and agro-processing, packaging and printing, wood processing, textile and apparel, building materials, sanitary were, furniture and metals and metallurgical.

ENERGY

Mozambique is endowed with an enormous and diversified energy resource base, most of which remains untapped. Nevertheless, as a result of recent developments, the country is expected to emerge as the 3rd largest exporter of LNG (liquefied natural gas) in the world, once the necessary investments have been fully made. It includes: (i) Exploitation of the 23 billion tons of coal reserve potential; (ii) Exploitation of more than 200 TCF natural gas reserves; (iii) Exploitation of more than 23TW of renewable energy potential.

INFRASTRUCTURES

The Government investing in the development of public infrastructures, namely roads, bridges, telecommunications, among other sectors in partnership with the private sector. Public-private partnership is encouraged by the Government.

INVESTMENT INCENTIVES

The code of fiscal benefits grants tax and customs benefits depending on the amount, location and sector of investment activity. The current incentive schemes are:

·         Generic Fiscal and Customs Benefits: Investments carried out under the Investment Law are exempt from payment of customs duties and VAT on import of capital goods and their accompanying parts and accessories classified as Class K of the Customs Tariff.

·         Tax Credit per Investment: Investments carried out in Maputo City benefit, for a period of five tax years, from a deduction (not to exceed the tax payable in respect of the investment project activity) from Corporate Income Tax (IRPC) that is equal to 5% of the total investment realized.

The percentage is 10% in all other remaining provinces. In addition, there are specific regimes for:

·         Agriculture and Fisheries;

·         Trade in Rural Areas;

·         Manufacturing and Assembly Industry;

·         Creation of Basic Infrastructure;

·         Industrial Free Zones;

·         Large Scale Projects.

3 Economic Trends - Issue 32

World Economic Forum

5,489,845 followers

November 11, 2025

The bioeconomy on the agenda at COP30, the new Africa Credit Rating Agency, and emerging markets and climate solutions - these are the stories covered in this issue of the World Economic Forum’s 3 Economic Trends newsletter, your guide to equitable growth, markets and economic policy in an ever-changing world.

---

1. #COP30: How the #bioeconomy helps people, planet and profit

The UN climate change conference, COP30, is under way in Belém, Brazil until 21 November. On the agenda for the Brazilian government will be five bioeconomy issues: forests, agriculture, social bioeconomy, biotechnology and finance.

In this article about, the COP30 Special Envoy for Bioeconomy Marcelo Behar speaks to Marco Lambertini, Convener of the Nature Positive Initiative, about what the bioeconomy means.

"A sustainable bioeconomy is one where humankind follows rules to allow people to live and produce the things we need in ways that take nature into consideration, that work with and respect traditional communities, that are less resource-intensive and that are, as much as possible, circular" - Marcelo Behar

The concept has existed since the EU's bioeconomy strategy in 2012, but it has been given more weight by Brazil’s decision to make it a priority for COP30, as well as agreement among the G20 on 10 high-level principles to guide the development of the bioeconomy.

Behar says: "The bioeconomy is the connector between how to decarbonize and tackle the crisis in nature at the same time. By helping to conserve nature, a sustainable bioeconomy will slow climate change. And nature is the biggest facilitator to bring down carbon emissions"

2. How AfCRA can unlock fair #financing for #Africa

The African Union has announced a new regional credit agency, the Africa Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA), due to launch in Mauritius in 2026. It's set to provide more accurate and fairer pricing of African risk and improve its access to international capital.

Typically, an “African premium” has been applied to borrowing by African countries, reflecting a gap between perceived and actual risk, costing billions due to insufficient local knowledge.

AfCRA won’t solve Africa’s debt challenges alone but strong governance, transparency and rigorous methodology could make it a catalyst for change, writes Aimée Dushime, ACCA in this article.

If successful, AfCRA could reshape how investors view African credit through three major pathways:

1. Building better data systems: Regional analysts can capture nuances global models miss, such as domestic capital flows, social safety nets and structural reforms that bolster fiscal stability.
2. Lowering rating costs through competition: The “big three” dominate sovereign and corporate ratings, often at prohibitively high costs. A credible African alternative could offer fairer pricing and broaden access for countries and private firms.
3. Supporting market development: Beyond sovereign ratings, AfCRA could rate subnationals, public utilities and private issuers. Broader coverage would improve transparency in African bond markets, facilitate more accurate risk pricing and help regional pension and insurance funds diversify within the continent.

3. Why emerging #markets will be the testing ground for #decarbonization

Emerging markets are fast becoming the proving ground for climate solutions, attracting attention for their rapid population growth and economic expansion - but receiving just 14% of global climate finance.

Success hinges on grounded innovation solutions built within local contexts, not transplanted from elsewhere, write Souleymane Ba and Nakul Zaveri (LeapFrog Investments).

Falling clean-tech costs, energy-as-a-service models, and decentralized mobility are empowering these markets to leapfrog legacy systems, especially in regions like India, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Investors and policymakers who focus on scalable, adaptable business models here can unlock major opportunities - and help define the next phase of the global net-zero transition.

Build a Custom AI Assistant to Save Yourself Time

Harvard Business Review

14,523,935 followers

May 6, 2025 

Custom AI assistants can save you time and effort by eliminating repetitive tasks. You don’t need to have coding skills to use them, but to get the most out of them, you need to set them up thoughtfully. Here’s how to create an assistant tailored to your needs.

Choose the right platform. Different AI platforms have different strengths. For example, ChatGPT is great for voice interactions, Claude excels at writing style, and Gemini integrates well with Google’s suite of tools. Consider your workflow and pick the one that fits best.

Experiment first. Start by using AI in a regular chat. Use detailed prompts and refine responses by giving the tool explicit feedback. Once you’re getting useful results, synthesize the most-effective prompts and feedback into a structured set of instructions for your AI assistant.

Write clear custom instructions. Define your assistant’s persona, purpose, and goals. Use second-person instructions (for example, “You are a detail-oriented data analyst”). Be clear on the format, style, and KPIs for success.

Upload reference files. Make your assistant smarter by providing documents it can use for context, such as past reports, style guides, or FAQs. This improves accuracy and consistency.

IMF warns of new global economic era, the future of TradeTech and the data centre goldrush - these are the stories covered in this issue of the World Economic Forum’s 3 Economic Trends newsletter, your guide to equitable growth, markets and economic policy in an ever-changing world.

---

1. IMF: New era for global #economy amid rising #trade tensions

The global economic system that has governed international trade for 80 years is undergoing a significant reset, according to the latest World Economic Outlook from the International Monetary Fund.

Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF's Economic Counsellor and Director of Research, warns of slowing growth due to escalating tariffs and policy uncertainty.

Following a wave of US tariff announcements, culminating on April 2 with near-universal levies, the global economy faces substantial headwinds:

• Global growth forecast reduced to 2.8% for 2025 and 3% for 2026, down 0.8 percentage points from January projections
• Global trade growth expected to plummet to just 1.7% in 2025
• US growth forecast cut to 1.8% with inflation revised upward
• China's growth forecast reduced to 4%, reflecting negative demand shock
• Euro area growth revised down to 0.8%

Despite these challenges, growth remains above recession levels, and the global disinflation trend continues, albeit at a slower pace.

IMF policy recommendations emphasize the need for restored trade stability, predictable trading systems, and agile monetary policies. Different countries face varying challenges – some needing to tighten monetary policy against inflation, while others may require lower policy rates to counter demand shocks.

The path forward will depend on how nations confront these challenges and whether they can forge new, mutually beneficial trade arrangements.

2. #TradeTech Forum 2025: The future of global #commerce

At the 2025 TradeTech Forum in Abu Dhabi, industry leaders and policymakers gathered to explore how technology is transforming global trade. The World Economic Forum Trade & Investment's Jimena Sotelo highlights the Forum’s key takeaways:

• AI’s transformative role: Artificial intelligence is reshaping supply chains, trade finance, and customs compliance, unlocking efficiency and inclusivity.
• Innovation acceleration: The TradeTech Accelerator and UAE TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox are encouraging businesses to pilot AI-driven finance and blockchain solutions to de-risk and scale emerging technologies.
• Cross-border data frameworks: Momentum built around digital documentation standards and blockchain infrastructure like TWIN to streamline global data exchange.

The Forum also emphasized the importance of standards and collaboration to ensure tech-driven trade benefits all economies.

3. The #data centre goldrush as #AI demand drives investment

The world is experiencing a data centre construction surge. The $243 billion industry is projected to exceed $584 billion by 2032, driven by AI’s insatiable compute needs, writes Khalid Alaamer, World Economic Forum.

Hyperscale facilities now handle 95% of internet traffic, while emerging markets like the UAE and India compete with traditional hubs (US, Germany, UK) for foreign investment.

But AI’s energy intensity raises sustainability concerns as data centres already account for 1.5% of global electricity use.

Read more about the reasons for the data centre goldrush - and the challenges - in this article.

Take a moment for yourself and discover our weekly delivery of insights, inspiration, and exclusive interviews from the global LEAP community.

This week we’re quoting…

Maha Abouelenein (Personal Branding Expert; Founder and CEO at Digital and Savvy)

We asked Maha if every tech founder and CEO should build a personal brand, and she said:

“Absolutely – 100% yes.”

Why does a personal brand matter in tech?

“Every founder and CEO should build a personal brand,” Maha said, “but it needs to be done with strategy and intention. It's not about becoming a ‘celebrity CEO’ – it's about using your personal brand to drive trust, credibility, and influence.”

Sounds simple – but the reality is that loads of business leaders get tripped up on the how of this: how do you actually use your personal brand to do those things?

Don’t worry. We (and Maha) have got you.

And your first task is to think about your goals: what do you want your personal brand to achieve? Is it all about your current business, or do you want to use that personal brand to enable future, perhaps completely different steps in your own career?

It humanises your business

“Most importantly,” Maha said, “it humanises the company.”

And that’s so incredibly important. It’s so easy for a business to feel like a corporate entity, disconnected from the human emotional experience; but it doesn’t have to be that way. Because no matter how big the company is, the people working in it are still…people. And the people are the ones who can really connect with stakeholders in a meaningful way.

“Building the executive profiles of C-suite leaders isn't optional anymore — it's necessary.”

And it creates a platform for your own career to grow

You might not want to work in the same business or sector, or the same role, forever. And your personal brand can help you achieve future goals – ones you haven’t even imagined yet.

“Sharing thought leadership and industry insights is essential for CEOs to establish themselves as industry thinkers, not just business operators,” Maha said; and when you establish yourself in this way, you’re bolstering your own future potential, as well as the strength of the business you’re leading right now.

You can become known as the person who’s good at [insert thing you’re really good at here]. And that reputation will carry you through your career.

OK. Sounds great. But how do you build a personal brand?

Take a deep breath. Get off LinkedIn – there’s too much advice on there about personal branding to know where to start. And simplify with Maha’s three straightforward, very actionable tips:

1. Set up systems and tools to make communication a habit, not an afterthought. This could mean time-blocking a weekly post, scheduling monthly town halls, or committing to a consistent content cadence. Without a system, it’s easy to fall off track.
2. Document, don’t create. Instead of constantly brainstorming ‘new’ content, share real-time insights and lessons from your day-to-day leadership journey. Have a videographer capture moments in action or share quick reflections from your workweek. This approach is authentic, efficient, and infinitely more relatable to your audience.
3. Hire a content specialist or writer. This person can act as a ghostwriter for social posts, op-eds, or newsletters, saving you time and ensuring your message is clear and impactful.

It was a great pleasure to return to Manila and an honour to mark the completion of major projects to boost the capacity of Manila South Harbour (MSH) alongside Department of Transportation - Philippines Secretary Vivencio Dizon, Philippine Ports Authority General Manager Jay Santiago, Bureau of Customs Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio and Asian Terminals Inc. (ATI) President Eusebio Tanco.

In partnership with ATI, our PHP 5.7 billion (USD 100 million) investment has enhanced this critical international trade gateway. Annual throughput has increased by 25%, enabling the terminal to handle nearly two million TEUs and strengthening international trade flows through the Philippines and Southeast Asia’s growth corridor.

I strongly believe that investment in ports and terminals as well as logistics delivers greater value across the supply chain and drives prosperity for communities. From modernising Batangas International Port to launching the Tanza Barge Terminal in Cavite, DP World is proud to partner with the Philippine government to support infrastructure that improves port connectivity, reduces road congestion and lowers carbon emissions.

Our commitment to the Philippines — and to our partners, customers and communities — will continue to grow stronger as we advance the country’s role in global trade and build efficient, sustainable networks that drive long-term growth across Southeast Asia.

Immerse yourself in new ideas with our weekly delivery of tech inspiration – right here in your inbox.

This week we’re quoting…

Laurie Anderson (Performance Artist and Musician)

What Anderson said:

“Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.”

Let’s not go setting fires around tech, now

We’d like to make it clear that we’re not encouraging you to actually put your tech devices in close proximity to a fire. Don’t do that (thanks).

No; we just love this quote because it has become very much a truth for people around the world.

Since humans figured out how to strike stone and wood and metal to make fire, we’ve gathered around fires. We’ve told stories in the flickering light – tales of our ancestors, myths that explain our purpose, lessons of survival. Fires gave us warmth and protection and the capacity to cook, but they also became the centre of our shared experience.

This was the inspiration behind our Fireside Chats at LEAP 2025. We wanted to create a warm, personal way for our visitors to learn from the leading minds in tech.

Because these days, most of us don’t sit around a fire to chat. Or at least not very often. Now, technology has taken the place of the ancient fire in our lives. Tech is how we come together, where we tell our stories, and where we create new imaginings about who we are.

We need human connection. And the image of the fire captures something important about how we connect in the digital age: tech is the new gathering place, with the power to inspire us, bring us together, and shape the way we see the world.

We all tell each other stories

Think about the last time you were really captivated by a story. Maybe it was on TV, in the cinema, in a book, on a podcast, online somewhere. It felt like it was written just for you, with exactly the feelings you needed to feel and exactly the lessons you needed to hear.

Most of the time these stories reach us through screens these days, instead of through the spoken word around a fire. But the impact they have matters just as much.

And actually, tech has made storytelling more democratic than ever. You don’t have to be a published author or a filmmaker or journalist to share your story widely. If you have a smartphone, you have the tools you need to document and share your life, your struggles, the  wisdom you’ve gained along the way. We don’t have any stats on this, but we reckon very few people in the world today rely solely on traditional media for information and stories. Instead, we’re all listening to each other – every single day – through tech.

This is amazing. And it’s also…a lot. In an age of endless access to endless voices and narratives that compete with each other in the same social media feed, we have to ask: Are the stories we’re gathering around intended to bring us together or pull us apart?

When we asked Otto Plesner (Creative Director at RenaiXance) about the role of creativity and art in integrating new tech into our lives, he said:

“There is nothing like art that can spread positivity – even if at times the message can be dark, it still holds profound truths which then in turn is positive since it may open people's eyes towards issues in the world. So by using art as a cultivator of technology one inherently creates positive outcomes.”

Tech as the fire that connects us

Not everything about tech is good. We all know this. But as Stephanie Singer (Creative Director at BitterSuite) put it when we interviewed her for the blog, “...tech isn’t just one thing; it’s a palette of colours, a set of tools we can choose from. What matters is how and why we use it.”

And technology is being used to deepen human connection in ways we never imagined.

We can stay close to family even if we live on opposite sides of the world. We can spark real-world positive change by telling our stories online. We can make art and find an audience, and touch the lives of strangers. We can find people in our city (even a city that’s home to many millions of other people) who share the same interests as us.

Tech can never replace our need for human connection. Instead, it gives us new ways to connect and makes connection possible in a globalised, fast-paced, complex world. Enables us to build communities. And because it allows us to tell our stories and absorb the stories of others, it can help us make sense of our experiences and – hopefully – make us feel less alone in the world.

Finding the warm fire in a digital world

Every storyteller has a responsibility – and we’re all storytellers now. In digital spaces we’re building a collective story and each of us has to choose how we want to contribute to that.

Equally, when we’re part of the audience, the kinds of stories we decide to gather around are important.

So no; most of us aren’t sitting around open flames, telling tales into the night. But the essence of that is still with us. We’ve brought it here, into our digital lives; the glow of the fire represented by the glow of a screen, but the need to connect and share?

That’s timeless.

Discover how to close more profitable and secure deals with the accuracy of updated prices in seconds!

Have you ever imagined closing a major agricultural commodity purchase or sale without knowing the exact current market value? A difference of just a few cents per ton can represent thousands of dollars in a single transaction. That’s why understanding how to calculate the price of agricultural commodities in real time has become essential for importers, exporters, and traders who want to minimize risks and increase profitability.

🚀 The Importance of Calculating the Price in Real Time

In the commodities market, prices can change within minutes, influenced by factors such as climate, economic policies, exchange rates, and global demand.

The good news is that there are tools that allow you to track these prices in real time, providing greater security and control in negotiations.

2. Exchange Rates: Conversion to the local currency directly affects the final value.
3. Freight and Logistics: The cost of transportation to the final destination must be considered.
4. Taxes and Duties: Depending on the country, there may be export or import tariffs.

Pavilion of Msheireb Properties, Qatar at Expo 2025 Osak Japan

With the opening of Expo 2025 Osakawe have seen Qatar’s remarkable pavilion take its place among the global community. To me, it is truly an embodiment of our nation’s values, aspirations, and cultural depth. As CEO of Msheireb PropertiesI see in this pavilion not only a celebration of Qatar’s heritage but also a clear alignment with the principles we uphold in our own work at Msheireb Properties: innovation, sustainability, and authentic cultural expressionThe pavilion showcases Qatar’s journey toward a sustainable, knowledge-based economy, as envisioned in our National Vision 2030. It also highlights key areas of opportunity outlined in our Third National Development Strategy, inviting global partners to explore the dynamic potential within our country.

Designed by KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES in collaboration with Qatar Museums the pavilion is a striking fusion of Qatari maritime heritage and Japanese craftsmanship. Its architectural form draws inspiration from traditional dhow construction and Japanese woodworking, symbolising the strong and evolving relationship between our two nations. This thoughtful design speaks volumes about our respect for tradition and steadfast focus on the future, an approach we at Msheireb Properties deeply believe in.

What stands out most to me is how this pavilion reflects the same ethos that guides our urban developments like Msheireb Downtown Doha. The commitment to sustainable innovation, human-centred design, and cultural storytelling is evident throughout, reinforcing Qatar’s place at the forefront of progressive development.

I extend my appreciation to the Ministry of Commerce and Qatar Museums teams for delivering a world-class representation of our country. Their efforts ensure that Qatar’s achievements in sustainability, culture, and innovation are powerfully conveyed to the 28 million visitors expected at the Expo.

To those travelling to Japan in the coming months, I strongly encourage you to experience the Qatar Pavilion firsthand. It’s an inspiring vision of our future and a reminder of the remarkable progress we are making together.
