As we wrap up 2025, one thing is clear: the Middle East didn't just plan for the future of mobility - it built it. 🚗⚡ From electric vehicles transitioning from niche to mainstream, to commercial autonomous vehicle deployments, this year marked a turning point in how we think about movement, sustainability, and urban life. The region is rapidly emerging as a global testbed for smart, sustainable mobility. 🛣️🌍 2025 wasn't just progress - it was a pivot. As we head into 2026, the lessons from 2025 will shape investment decisions, regulatory frameworks, and mobility ecosystems worldwide - and this is where e& UAE continues to play a defining role. By enabling next-generation connectivity, edge computing, and secure digital platforms, #eand is helping turn autonomous, connected, and electric mobility from vision into reality across the region. #SmartMobility #UAE #FutureOfMobility #AutonomousVehicles #ConnectedVehicles #ElectricVehicles #Innovation https://lnkd.in/dVzGKm-b

🚀 Saudi Arabia Accelerates Its Electric Vehicle Ecosystem with SR3.7 Billion Localization Push Saudi Arabia’s EV ambitions took a major step forward as Seer Electric Vehicles signed agreements with 17 local and international companies to build an integrated electric vehicle manufacturing and supply ecosystem in the Kingdom. The total value of these agreements exceeds SR3.7 billion (≈ $985 million) — a clear signal that Saudi Arabia is moving from vision to execution in advanced mobility. What this development means in practice: 1️⃣ Localization of key EV components, manufacturing and supply chains 2️⃣ Reduced reliance on imports and stronger local industrial capacity 3️⃣ Creation of high-skilled jobs across engineering, manufacturing and technology 4️⃣ Acceleration of Saudi Arabia’s position in the global EV value chain 📈 Why this matters at a national scale Saudi Arabia is not just assembling vehicles — it is building a full-stack automotive ecosystem, aligned with Vision 2030 goals for: ✅ Industrial diversification ✅ Advanced manufacturing ✅ Clean energy and sustainability ✅ Technology transfer and local content 💰 At nearly $1 billion in committed agreements, this initiative unlocks secondary opportunities across: 👉 Logistics and industrial real estate 👉 Component manufacturing and suppliers 👉 Engineering, automation and smart factories 👉 Foreign companies seeking localized market access Saudi Arabia’s EV strategy is quickly shifting from pilot projects to industrial-scale deployment. Safari Star is a Ministry of Investment (MISA) approved incubator, supporting market entry, licenses, startups, CR, Iqama and PRO services in Saudi Arabia. #SaudiArabia #ElectricVehicles #EV #Vision2030 #IndustrialLocalization #AdvancedManufacturing #Automotive #CleanEnergy #FDI #BusinessInSaudi #MarketEntry #SafariStar

Dara Khosrowshahi, chief executive of Uber, says autonomous vehicles will be operating in Saudi Arabia this year. “We are now speaking with autonomous partners and the ministries here and you will see autonomous vehicles in Saudi this year. It's something that we are very focused on,” he said from Riyadh, the first leg of US President Donald Trump's high-stakes Gulf trip. “Autonomous will not only be safer, but will also be a cheaper form of transportation, making on demand transportation available for everybody,” said Mr Khosrowshahi. The company is making “sure that autonomous technologies are introduced in a safe manner, that works with the regulators and works with every city.”
