Sonia Gokhale, Co-Founder and General Partner at VentureSouq, breaks down how founders can build and scale fintech across the Gulf. We unpack why Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the first markets to crack, how government sandboxes and clear licensing paths reduce friction, and why B2B fintech often delivers the strongest unit economics. Sonia also walks through lessons from recent exits like Tabby, fundraising dynamics for seed through Series B, and the infrastructure opportunities in payments, credit, and compliance. If you are a founder aiming to land your first enterprise customers in the region or an investor mapping the next wave of MENA fintech, this conversation delivers a practical playbook.What you'll learnHow to navigate sandboxes and licensing in KSA and the UAEThe go-to-market order that shortens sales cycles with enterprisesPricing and unit economics that work for B2B fintech in the GulfSignals from Tabby-style outcomes and what they mean for foundersFundraising expectations and how global capital views MENA todayWho it's forFintech founders, product leaders, and investors evaluating MENA as a primary or expansion market.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonia-seth-gokhale-b0906014/

Traité Mena'hot - Chapitre 12, Michna 1

In this episode, recorded during a BICOM media briefing, Daniel J. Levy speaks with Dr Najah Alotaibi and Dr Efrat Sopher about the prospects for Saudi–Israeli normalisation following the Gaza War. They discuss how Saudi Arabia's social and educational reforms are reshaping public attitudes toward Israel. They also relate to the growing empowerment of women and the importance of grassroots initiatives. Dr Najah Alotaibi is a Saudi academic, journalist and board member of MENA 2050. Dr Efrat Sopher is an Iranian Israeli security analyst and chair of the Board of Advisors at the Ezri Center for Iran and Gulf States Research at the University of Haifa.

Gudrun Harrer in conversation with Barak Ravid, Ebtesam El-Ketbi, Abdulaziz SagerFROM HOPE TO UNCERTAINTY - FIVE YEARS AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND FOUR ARAB STATES Five years ago, in September 2020, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed the Abraham Accords, the agreement that established normalization of diplomatic relations with Israel. They were later joined by Morocco and Sudan (the latter never implementing the agreement). The cultural, economic and security cooperation between the Abraham Accord signatories progressed, and in 2023 the US administration of President Joe Biden increased efforts to complete the project of his predecessor Donald Trump by bringing Saudi Arabia into the pact.The 7th October 2023 brutal Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent massive Israeli military offensive against the Gaza Strip with its heavy toll on innocent Palestinian civilians completely changed the political environment of Israeli Arab cooperation. The Abraham Accords have proved resilient but are in difficult waters, even more so since Israel recently, on September 9th, attacked a target in Qatar – which is not a member of Abraham Accords, but, together with the US and Egypt, a mediator between Hamas und Israel. The Unites Arab Emirates drew a “red line” over a possible annexation of the West Bank by Israel. The escalation not only questions Arab Israeli relations and, in concrete terms, the future of the Abraham Accords. Also the foundation of trust between the United States and its reliable Arab partners on the Gulf seemed to be shaken.A panel of distinguished experts from the region will address the question if the Abraham Accords are in acute danger or already a stable part of a new irreversible security architecture in the Middle East and North Africa. If this is the case, can they be not only maintained but expanded, geographically and thematically? What are the requirements for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to join? Is Israel – which seems to have switched from policies of national security to the goal of regional dominance – still interested in the development of the Accords? Is the European Union, as it seems, really confined to a role of passive onlooker although directly affected by all events in the MENA region? Barak Ravid, Israeli journalist who serves as a political analyst for CNN and reporter for Axios and Channel 12 News (online)Ebtesam El-Ketbi, political scientist who founded and presides over The Emirates Policy Center think tankAbdulaziz Sager, Founder and Chair of the Gulf Research Center, a global think tank based in Saudi Arabia, expert on Gulf politics and strategic issues, author and editor of numerous publications, frequent contributor to major international media channels such as Al Arabiya, the BBC, CNN, and France 24Gudrun Harrer, Senior Editor, Der Standard; Lecturer in Modern History and Politics of the Middle East at the University of Vienna and the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna

Send us a textIn this episode, Stuart and Mena explore the powerful concept of synergy and how strategic integration can fuel sustainable business growth. They start by demystifying what synergy really means: intentional alignment, not accidental collaboration, and why it's essential for small businesses, even those without large teams. From aligning goals between departments to reducing friction and duplication, synergy is all about pulling in the same direction.The conversation then moves into vertical integration, owning or strategically aligning with different parts of the supply chain. Stuart and Mena discuss backward and forward integration, digital tools that enable “virtual” integration, and how businesses like Apple, Amazon, and Netflix have mastered structural synergy by integrating across their value chain.They highlight how integration without synergy is ineffective, and how the best results come when systems and culture are aligned. Real-world examples and practical tips help listeners identify breakdowns in collaboration, align team KPIs, and build partnerships grounded in shared purpose.Finally, they explore the human side of synergy, trust, communication, and leadership, and warn against over-integration or forced alignment. Whether you're scaling a business or improving internal collaboration, this episode offers a practical roadmap for unlocking the synergy effect in your business.If this episode resonated with you, please leave a rating on your favourite podcast platform.

Traité Mena'hot - Chapitre 11, Michna 6

Please note that these claims are presently being vetted by our research department:It will be hard to be "brief". We've had regular and continuous experiences since 2017! When we introduce ourselves, we always say, “We are just normal people who had a paranormal experience, and it changed our lives forever!” Prior to 2017 "paranormal" was just sci-fi for us. On February 18, 2017, we had our first sighting when we witnessed 3 huge beams of white light shoot up about 300 feet into the night sky from our crystal mine property. That event attracted an on-site MUFON investigation, where magnetic anomalies were detected. Since then we regularly experience both celestial and terrestrial sightings of orbs, lights, voices, magnetic anomalies, sudden appearances of quartz crystals and feathers, glass marbles, both outside and inside our house (we reside at the crystal mine property), . Native Americans began to visit us from as far as North Dakota, Colorado and New Mexico, telling us they were called to come because the crystal mine land is sacred. They came to bless the land and showed us where they believed portals were on our property! And our Native friends introduced us to signs and sightings of Bigfoot presence on our property. Whatever is going on at Board Camp Crystal Mine, we believe it's intelligent life contacting us from other dimensions, as crazy as it sounds! This is NOT self-initiated contact! "They" began manifesting their presence to us and they interact with us! Several film crews have visited us since 2017 and had experiences while filming! Most recently, as of end of 2023, there were 2 possible abductions on the property… at the very least… missing time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.
