Bybit launches MENA Marketing Campaign
Starting in MENA, where its Dubai headquarters is based, Bybit is connecting the dots between Web2 and Web3 with a variety of local partners.
The campaign seamlessly integrates crypto into real-world experiences. From gaming lounges to concert venues, sports stadiums to restaurants, and ride-sharing services, Bybit is creating an ecosystem where as accessible as—and potentially more rewarding than, traditional payment methods. These partnerships span entertainment, music, culture, sports, dining, and transportation, allowing crypto assets to empower lifestyle choices.
Starting in June, MENA users are introduced to the Bybit brand through advertisements within Careem, the region's most-loved super app. These coordinated ads invite current Bybit users and potential new joiners to discover exclusive deals and offers available directly through Bybit's platform. Bybit's crypto-native services and payment solutions can be accessed via Bybit's app and website, encouraging users to explore how digital assets can enhance their everyday experiences throughout an exciting summer.
Powered by Bybit: Crypto as a Lifestyle
Leading in financial innovation, Bybit has been committed to shaping the future of crypto to the needs of its customers. It has evolved beyond a marketplace for crypto trading into a lifestyle choice. The partnership with Careem is the latest addition to Bybit's global footprint in collaborations: in Dubai, Bybit Card holders enjoy up to 30% off in services and room rates at the Grand Millennium Dubai; the golden city's Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is a long-term partner of Bybit in innovation and blockchain education. The Bybit Card also unlocks perks everywhere for its users from airport lounges to AI co-pilot subscriptions.
'Our local partners represent some of the most popular lifestyle choices in each community', said Claudia Wang, Head of Marketing at Bybit. 'We are grounded in customer-centricity: there is no real boundary in 'old-school' and Web3 marketing. We are everywhere our customers want us to be. Bybit as the brand is visible, accessible, and relatable across touch points', she shared on the philosophy of the campaign.
The range of partnerships and local promotions are expected to cover more regions in the coming months. Over 70 millions of Bybit users possess first-mover advantage as early investors of 'smart money', and the onchain economy stands to provide them a path to financial freedom and elevated way of life. Whatever their needs, their crypto goals are achievable on Bybit's versatile platform for trading, custody, wealth management, payments, and Bybit-only rewards.
The new campaign represents Bybit's commitment to making crypto adoption effortless and rewarding through localization, positioning the MENA region as a testing ground for the future of integrated digital finance.

LG's Radio Optimism: A Heartfelt Tune to Brighten Your Day
In a world where endless scrolling and double-tapping dominate how we connect, LG is reminding us of something beautifully simple: real connection comes from the heart, not the algorithm. Introducing Radio Optimism, a refreshing new initiative under LG's Life's Good campaign that swaps digital noise for something more meaningful, personalized songs made just for the people who matter most to you. Whether it's a friend who's been your rock, a parent who's your hero, or a partner who lights up your days, Radio Optimism lets you express how you feel through music. All it takes is a few taps. Visit the Radio Optimism platform, share a few words about your someone special, and LG's platform turns your sentiment into a one-of-a-kind song, ready to be shared, and remembered. Because when someone creates a heartfelt song for you, or you make one for them, that's when true connection happens. That's when Life's Good becomes more than a slogan, it becomes a feeling. From touching tracks like My Dad, My Hero to cheerful melodies like Keep Swimming and Loving Life With My Beautiful Wife, the campaign already features hundreds of tunes that speak the language of emotion. And while AI plays a role in helping bring these songs to life, the heart behind each melody is entirely human. Radio Optimism is more than a campaign; it's a dedication station. It's a space where positivity is broadcast 24/7, and kindness takes center stage. In a time when we all need a little more optimism, LG is putting a smile back on our feeds, and in our hearts. Because technology should bring us closer. And LG believes that starts with reminding people that Life's Good, especially when we're kind to one another. So… who's your song for?

University of Baghdad to establish AI-focused college
The University of Baghdad in Iraq will establish a college dedicated to artificial intelligence, according to a ministerial order issued on Monday. It comes as countries throughout the Middle East seek to become major players in the booming AI sector, which is at the centre of unprecedented investment and interest. Naeem Al Aboudi, Iraq's Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, said the decision to have a specific college at the University of Baghdad dedicated to AI was part of a larger 'strategic vision to develop the Iraqi academic system and keep pace with global digital and knowledge transformations'. According to the news release, the AI-focused portion of the University will begin in the upcoming academic year, and will focus on AI as it applies to 'engineering, biomedical applications and big data'. Estimates indicate that between 60,000 and 70,000 students are enrolled in the University of Baghdad. In common with other countries in the Middle East, Iraq sees AI as an opportunity to diversify its economy away from oil. Experts warn, however, that AI could disrupt labour in the short term. Emphasising AI in universities is seen as a way to blunt the impact of labour disruption, helping to prepare students for a new economy. The University of Baghdad is not alone in its endeavour to formally incorporate AI into higher education. In 2019, before AI was dominating headlines, the UAE announced plans to establish of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first higher learning institution dedicated to AI. MBZUAI opened the following year. AI projects and programmes throughout the Middle East have helped to place a greater emphasis on the inclusion of Arabic and other cultural aspects that might have otherwise been left out of the technology development, which initially focused on English and Western data.
