With public healthcare systems under constant development, AI is emerging as a powerful tool to optimise services, enhance diagnostics and improve overall efficiency. In this special episode, recorded at the World Economic Forum in Davos, The National's assistant editor-in-chief Rory Reynolds sat down with Mina Hamoodi, head of health care at Mubadala, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the global healthcare industry. Ms Hamoodi shares her insights on the gradual adoption of AI in health care, emphasising that while the technology will not replace doctors, it has the potential to alleviate many of the sector's most pressing challenges. As an investor in innovative healthcare companies, Mubadala is focused on leveraging AI to advance medical research, streamline administrative processes and improve patient outcomes. Beyond AI, we also explore Mubadala's global healthcare investment strategy, from the US and Europe to Asia and emerging markets. Ms Hamoodi explains how the company is helping to bridge healthcare gaps, particularly in high-growth sectors such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, while also bringing world-class healthcare services to the UAE.

Donald Trump is inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, immediately signing off on a flurry of executive orders. He did, however, stop short of launching immediate tariffs on neighbours Canada, Mexico as well as on China. Trump did sign a 75-day reprieve on the ban on TikTok in order to review a deal for the platform. He also signed orders to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement and to exit the WHO. We speak to UAE sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, who says AI demand is ‘profoundly high' but warned that the technology remains imperfect. In forex news, the dollar is down while the yuan hits a 6-week high as a new Trump era begins.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Le secteur de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) est désormais reconnu pour ses besoins colossaux en capitaux, nécessaires au développement d'infrastructures et à l'entraînement de modèles de plus en plus performants. Et les investisseurs ne manquent pas à l'appel. La dernière levée de fonds orchestrée par OpenAI illustre bien cette dynamique. Parmi les acteurs les plus en vue, les fonds souverains des grandes nations productrices d'hydrocarbures du Moyen-Orient se distinguent particulièrement.Parmi eux, MGX, un fonds émirati créé il y a moins d'un an pour investir spécifiquement dans l'IA, fait parler de lui. Ce fonds s'est rapidement associé à Microsoft et BlackRock pour soutenir des projets dans le domaine et envisage maintenant de prendre une participation dans OpenAI. D'autres fonds de la région suivent la même voie. Le fonds souverain d'Abou Dhabi, Mubadala, qui gère 302 milliards de dollars, a déjà investi dans Anthropic, l'entreprise derrière Claude, et a réalisé huit transactions dans l'IA au cours des quatre dernières années. Quant à l'Arabie saoudite, son fonds souverain, le Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), gérant 925 milliards de dollars d'actifs, a lancé la Saudi Company for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) pour se positionner dans ce secteur en plein essor.Cet engouement n'est pas surprenant. Depuis des années, les pays du Moyen-Orient cherchent à diversifier leurs économies, traditionnellement dépendantes des hydrocarbures. Les Émirats arabes unis, précurseurs dans ce domaine, ont déjà réduit la part des hydrocarbures à un tiers de leur PIB. L'Arabie saoudite, sous la houlette de Mohammed Ben Salmane, suit cette voie, tandis que le Koweït a lancé en 2017 son programme « New Kuwait 2035 » pour diversifier son économie. L'IA, comme d'autres secteurs technologiques, représente une opportunité clé dans cette transition économique. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A Future of Finance Interview with Apex Group founder and CEO Peter Hughes and Head of Digital Assets Bruce Jackson.The Apex Group has grown from an idea in the minds of two people in Bermuda just over 20 years ago to a global fund administration business employing 13,000 people across 112 offices around the world to look after assets under administration worth more than US$1 trillion. Such rapid expansion by acquisition was made possible by the support of major private equity investors – they include Genstar, Carlyle and Mubadala – but Apex is more than a classic roll-up story. The firm has retained its original bias to alternative strategies, but has moved far beyond fund accounting, transfer agency and management company services to embrace capital introductions, depositary and custody services and an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings and advisory service. But what really distinguishes Apex from other fund administrators is its embrace of new technologies in general and blockchain technologies in particular. It has not only supported several tokenised fund issues but invested in a tokenisation engine (the Luxembourg-based Tokeny) and in the London-based FundAdminChain (which began as a fund tokenisation platform but morphed into an automated investor due diligence checking and on-boarding service). No other fund administrator has shown a comparable level of material commitment to a tokenised future for the funds industry. As Dominic Hobson, Co-founder of Future of Finance, found out when he spoke to Apex Group founder and CEO Peter Hughes and Head of Digital Assets Bruce Jackson, the enthusiasm of the senior management for tokenisation is not about intellectual curiosity but long-term survival and success.

El Foro Internacional de Fondos Soberanos termina su cita anual en Madrid. Entre los fondos soberanos que agrupa la organización destacan Mubadala de Abu Dabi, accionista mayoritario de Cepsa; Qatar Investment Authority, que cuenta con el 8,7% de Iberdrola o el 25,1% de IAG; y el singapurense GIC con participaciones en Cellnex. En total cuentan con un patrimonio estimado de 5,6 billones de dólares y Cofides es el representante español en este foro. Su director general, Miguel Tiana, ha explicado en Capital Intereconomía que estos fondos son inversores que se centran mucho en el largo plazo. “Tienen una capacidad de inversión muy elevada y además una estrategia de inversión en la que les preocupan más las tendencias de largo plazo que las de corto plazo”. Estos fondos son pieza clave en el accionariado de muchas cotizadas europeas y españolas y según explica el director general de Cofides “siguen teniendo apetito por la economía española y por las empresas españolas”.
