My small side AI project is getting a lot of interest and coverage. I started working on it in early January, before the war. And I genuinely don't want it to be a war monitor. It's a World Monitor, with everything from News, to Markets, to Commodities, to Supply Chain, to Tech & more - synthesised with AI www.worldmonitor.app
The Entrepreneur Middle East team remains on the ground in the UAE, navigating this uncertainty alongside you—something our second March 2026 issue, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟐, clearly reflects. This issue’s cover features Elie Habib, co-founder of Anghami and founder of World Monitor, who anticipated the world’s growing need for real-time insight amid rising uncertainty. “The platform works as ambient global awareness, not only as a reactive tool,” Habib says. “That passive use case has the most untapped potential. The most interesting next step is separating signal from noise more precisely.” Also in this issue, we honor the crisis leadership of the UAE’s President H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of State for International Cooperation H.E. Reem Al Hashimy, and Dubai Crown Prince, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan. We also bring you a collection of founder stories on how GCC businesses are responding to regional tensions — hear from: Carabia’s Charlie Lovett and Max Lovett; PangaeaX’s Jadd Elliot Dib Dib; The Lab Holding’s Ahmed Abdulhakeem; INAS EXIM LLC’s Nadiya Albishchenko; British Chamber of Commerce Dubai (BCCD)'S Katy Keenan; Cruise Master Middle East’s Ashok Kumar; VentureSouq’s Sonia Gokhale; Minoa’s Anelle Bakitzhanova; Buzzy Bee Communications' Tehzeeb Ahmed ; and Virtuzone’s George Hojeige. PLUS: Medy Navani introduces INSTINKT; and as Dubai’s gyms offer a snapshot of the city’s economic resilience, read insights from GymNation’s Loren Holland; FitnGlam - A SuperClub for Women's Kate Milewska; Wellfit’s Gareth Jones; and Roar Fitness’s Sarah Lindsay OLY. Also read about how Karma Developers steps up to support the Dubai community; and ROJA London highlights the artistry, heritage, and precision behind the world of luxury perfume. Contributions this month are courtesy: Rainbow Chimney’s AlDhabi AlMheiri and R.Evolution’s Alex Zagrebelny. 📍Read all this and more on Issuu: https://lnkd.in/dzGMVZEJ ✍️|🗞|🎨: Tamara Pupic | Aalia Mehreen Ahmed 🍉 | Simona El Khoury #EntMEResilienceIssue #EntMEResiliencePlaybook #GCC #UAE #SaudiArabia #Qatar #Bahrain #Oman #Kuwait #GulfStates #Entrepreneurs
Synthesis is the hardest part of global intelligence, and doing it in real-time across Markets and Tech is a massive technical feat, Elie Habib and team. The potential for WorldMonitor to act as a grounded 'source of truth' for the global economy is huge. Looking forward to seeing how the AI handles the verification of such high-velocity data!
It's a brilliant use case, well done! Would you be interested in coming on for a chat in one of our builder-focused streams by any chance? Would be great to have the chance to learn more about World Monitor!
What you’re building isn’t just another AI product, it’s an abstraction layer over how people understand the world in real time.
Congratulations Elie on your new venture. Not surprising to see you continuing to explore new ideas and initiatives. Wishing you the very best of success with this project and what comes next.
It is an amazing tool Elie Habib ! I’m still trying to figure out how to use it 🙈
Mr. Someone, now on the cover! 👏 👏 👏 So well deserved! Congratulations!
Building something this ambitious as a side project while running Anghami says a lot about what drives you. Excited to see World Monitor evolve!
Great work, congrats!

2wCongratulations Elie Habib and the World Monitor team, on this well-deserved recognition. "Separating signal from noise" is exactly the problem worth solving, and it's one we think about constantly at Wingbits. We're proud to be supporting World Monitor with real-time flight data and GPS accuracy intelligence. Airspace is one of the most information-dense environments on the planet, and when that data is clean and timely, it becomes a genuinely powerful layer of global situational awareness. What Elie is building with World Monitor, ambient intelligence that moves from reactive to predictive, is precisely the vision that makes partnerships like this one meaningful. Excited to see where it goes.
