Ibtechar signs strategic agreement with AI Crafters to accelerate AI adoption in Qatar
Qatar - Two companies specialising in innovation and digital technology signed a strategic two-year partnership on Tuesday aimed at empowering organisations with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that support the country's AI strategy.
The agreement was signed by Engineer Nayef al-Ibrahim, co-founder and CEO of Ibtechar, and Morad el-Mazyani, co-founder and CEO of AI Crafters.
Addressing the media yesterday, al-Ibrahim said the collaboration will strengthen Ibtechar's current service offering by integrating AI-powered solutions, enabling organisations across Qatar to unlock the full potential of AI and implement it effectively to achieve their strategic goals.
Al-Ibrahim noted that the partnership comes at a 'critical moment,' as organisations here and abroad face growing challenges in integrating AI into their operations.
Recognising that large-scale AI adoption 'is a daunting prospect,' Ibtechar and AI Crafters are joining forces to ease this transition for organisations in Qatar, offering comprehensive support from foundational training to custom AI-engineering solutions, he said.
Al-Ibrahim said, 'The strategic implementation of AI is driving transformation across economic and societal spheres. Our partnership with AI Crafters furthers our commitment to bringing world-class AI capabilities to Qatar.
'We're here to help organisations navigate AI adoption, develop new skills and capabilities, and build a resilient, future-ready workforce, contributing to Qatar's journey towards a more diversified and knowledge-based economy.'
El-Mazyani said, 'Qatar's commitment to innovation and AI makes it an inspiring place for us to contribute and grow. This pivotal partnership with Ibtechar allows us to bring our expertise to a market that is actively embracing AI transformation and to support the country's broader innovation agenda.'
The partnership stipulates that Ibtechar will integrate AI Crafters' solutions into its existing services, enabling it to deliver an expanded range of AI-powered interventions, including AI upskilling, such as masterclasses, B2B corporate training, and specialised professional development courses designed to build capacity and advance AI skills within organisations.
Also included are tailored AI solutions like custom-built tools and experiences, such as the interactive AI Corner and supporting the strategic integration of AI into innovation labs and spaces.
The joint initiative directly supports Qatar's ambitious vision to transition into a diversified, knowledge-based economy, integrating AI into all sectors of life, governance, and business, as outlined in the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, and in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030.

Meta launches open-source AI accelerator across sub-Saharan Africa
Meta, in partnership with national innovation agencies and ecosystem partners, has launched the Llama Impact Accelerator Program across Sub-Saharan Africa to support the development of open-source AI tools aligned with regional development goals. The initiative, which runs from May to November 2025, includes local accelerator tracks in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Senegal. It aims to support startups building scalable, socially relevant AI solutions for sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, public service delivery, financial inclusion and education. Each six-week track will provide equity-free funding, technical training, mentorship, and access to local policy networks. Startups will develop AI tools using Meta's open Llama ecosystem, culminating in Demo Days where teams will pitch their solutions to regional and global stakeholders. Selected teams will receive post-program support for product refinement and scaling. 'Africa is not just the future – it's a present full of promise and potential,' said Balkissa Idé Siddo, public policy director, Sub-Saharan Africa at Meta. 'Open-source AI can help unlock that potential by enabling developers to build tools that address their own communities' needs.' Partners include Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Communications, Kenya's Ministry of ICT, Senegal's Ministry of Digital Affairs, and South Africa's Department of Public Service and Administration, along with local incubators and training providers. The programme is part of Meta's broader push to advance inclusive, open AI ecosystems globally and support the development of digital infrastructure that responds to local priorities.

Dollar hovers as investors focus on Israel-Iran conflict ahead of Fed decision
LONDON - The U.S. dollar dipped against the yen and steadied against the Swiss franc on Wednesday, as fighting between Israel and Iran prompted investors to scoop up safe havens, while a Federal Reserve decision later on rates kept volatility subdued. Israel has bombarded arch-enemy Iran over the past six days to halt its nuclear activity and has asserted the need for a change of government in the Islamic Republic. The U.S. military is also bolstering its presence in the region, Reuters reported, stirring speculation about U.S. intervention that investors fear could widen the conflict in an area with critical energy resources, supply chains and infrastructure. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a statement read by a state television presenter on Wednesday that his country would not accept U.S. President Donald Trump's call for an unconditional surrender. The dollar has resumed its role as a safe haven, having gained around 1% against both the Japanese yen and Swiss franc since last Thursday. On Wednesday, the U.S. currency took a breather, edging fractionally lower against the yen and the franc and more noticeably so against the euro and the pound. "The dollar is still a safe haven because of its depth and liquidity, so, yes, the structural forces are diluting the dollar safe-haven activities, but they're not eroding them completely," said currency strategist Rodrigo Catril at National Australia Bank. "But in a scenario of big risk aversion, the dollar will still gain support, but maybe not to the same extent it has managed in the past." Against a basket of six other major currencies, the dollar is still down around 8% so far this year, as confidence in the U.S. economy and the reliability of Trump's administration as a trading and diplomatic partner has faded. With the Fed's decision on interest rates just hours away and U.S. markets closed on Thursday for the Juneteenth federal holiday, activity in currencies was muted. Against the yen, the dollar fell 0.3% to 144.845 and was steady against the franc at 0.8175 francs. NO CHANGE FROM THE FED Traders expect the U.S. central bank to leave borrowing costs unchanged and will closely parse what Chair Jerome Powell says about the outlook for growth and inflation. Uncertainty was already running high and recent data have begun to show the impact of Trump's erratic approach to trade and tariffs. The escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and the surge in crude oil prices to about $75 a barrel, have further complicated the picture for policymakers. Trump has repeatedly called for Powell to cut rates, accusing him of being too slow to lower borrowing costs. In the current environment, the Fed Chair is unlikely to signal when a cut might happen, according to strategists at MUFG. "The takeaway this evening may be some modest increase in expectations of rate cuts from September onwards. The appetite to sell the dollar though will likely be muted for now until there is a clearer outlook on the Israel-Iran conflict over the coming days," MUFG head of research for EMEA Derek Halpenny said. Data on weekly initial jobless claims was due later, while on the macro front, the Swedish central bank cut rates as anticipated, leaving the crown a touch weaker against the euro , which rose 0.5% to 11.022 crowns. On Thursday, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of England and the Norges Bank will deliver their respective rate decisions. The pound rose 0.2% to $1.345, having received an early boost from data showing inflation cooled no more than expected to an annual rate of 3.4% in May, ahead of the BoE decision. The euro was also up 0.2% at $1.1498. In the background, an area of frustration for investors was a Group of Seven meeting in Canada that yielded little on the tariff front ahead of Trump's early-July deadline for additional import levies.
