UAE-based tech firm makes debut investment in Pakistan's startup ecosystem
KARACHI: A UAE-based technology company has made its first investment in Pakistan, backing a local fintech that provides digital financial services to the logistics sector, the company said on Friday. Yango Group, through its $20 million corporate venture arm Yango Ventures, acquired a stake in Trukkr, a platform that serves Pakistan's $35 billion logistics market. The investment will support Trukkr's expansion, improve its credit-scoring technology and help increase financial access for thousands of unbanked trucking businesses. 'Pakistan's logistics sector is full of potential, and Trukkr is helping move it forward — by giving operators the financial tools they need to scale and succeed,' said Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group. 'This is the kind of local innovation we want to help grow, and it's just the start of our work in Pakistan,' he added. Founded in 2019, Trukkr digitizes operations for more than 20,000 drivers and over 100 enterprise clients. Following its acquisition of a non-banking finance company (NBFC) license from Pakistan's Securities and Exchange Commission, Trukkr now offers working capital and fleet financing powered by its proprietary credit engine, Prism. Yango Group operates across over 30 global markets and brings experience in ride-hailing, e-commerce, fintech and AI. Its investment in Trukkr is part of a broader strategy to drive digital transformation in emerging markets, particularly in Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. 'In addition to their strategic equity investment, we find that their experience in building state-of-the-art logistics tech will allow us to strengthen our offerings in Pakistan and beyond,' said Sheryar Bawany, CEO of Trukkr.

Riyadh Air Signs Global Distribution Deal with Spain's Amadeus to Fuel Expansion Plans
Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new national carrier and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, has signed a global distribution agreement with Spain-based Amadeus, a leading travel technology provider. The strategic move will give the airline access to one of the world's largest networks of travel agents, bolstering its growth strategy and supporting the Kingdom's transformation drive under Vision 2030. According to an Amadeus statement issued Thursday, the partnership will enable Riyadh Air to join the Amadeus Travel Platform, connecting it with travel agents and distributors in over 190 countries. The agreement is aimed at ensuring the airline's offerings reach travelers worldwide, enhancing Saudi Arabia's appeal as a global tourism destination and reinforcing its role as a central hub for aviation and travel. Vincent Coste, Chief Commercial Officer of Riyadh Air, said the company's mission is to build a world-class airline that embodies Saudi Arabia's ambitions. He added that the partnership with Amadeus provides the global reach, distribution strength, and retailing capabilities needed to achieve the airline's goal of serving more than 100 destinations by 2030. 'This collaboration is not only about enabling seamless travel experiences,' Coste said, 'but also about contributing to the broader national vision of diversifying the economy, growing tourism, and enhancing global connectivity.' The agreement also covers the future distribution of Riyadh Air's content through Amadeus' New Distribution Capability (NDC) framework, giving the airline greater ability to offer dynamic, personalized deals to travelers while maintaining stronger control over indirect sales strategies. These advanced capabilities will help Riyadh Air deliver a modern, flexible, customer-focused retail experience. Maher Koubaa, Executive Vice President for Travel and Managing Director for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at Amadeus, described the deal as a milestone in the development of Saudi Arabia's aviation sector. He said the launch of Riyadh Air marks a significant moment for the Kingdom's aviation industry, and that Amadeus brings not only global reach but also advanced retailing, marketing, and data analytics tools to help the airline compete internationally. Founded in 2023 under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Riyadh Air is a key part of Saudi Arabia's strategy to diversify its economy, invest in tourism and infrastructure, and position the Kingdom as a global aviation hub. Backed by the Public Investment Fund, the carrier is expected to contribute more than $20 billion to Saudi Arabia's non-oil GDP and create over 200,000 direct and indirect jobs in the domestic market.

International Falcon Breeders Auction draws experts from Kingdom and abroad
RIYADH: The International Falcon Breeders Auction 2025, which is taking place at Malham, north of Riyadh, is aiming to boost the falcon-breeding industry in Saudi Arabia by drawing experts from the Kingdom and abroad. The event provides a competitive platform from which falconers can explore the latest breeding and hybridization techniques and exchange expertise with breeders worldwide. The auction is known to draw eye-watering sums for the best birds, with some fetching upwards of SR375,000 ($100,000). Last year's auction raised a total of SR10 million after 866 falcons were sold. Falconer Hamad bin Mislih Al-Qahtani told the Saudi Press Agency that falconry in the Kingdom had made significant strides over the past five years, thanks to direct interaction with international farms participating in the auction. Such engagement, he said, had exposed local falconers to superior bloodlines and modern methods that enhanced falcons' speed and hunting skills. Saudi falconer Badr Al-Aradi spoke to the SPA about his peregrine called Salman, reportedly one of the finest specimens produced by a Saudi farm, with an entirely local lineage resulting from the mating of two pure peregrines. The bird weighs 1,090 grams, measures 17 cm in length and 16.5 cm in width, with a balanced build and exceptional acrobatic capabilities. Al-Aradi noted that his falcons typically avoid leaving the farm's provided shelters, which had prompted him to develop a tracking device to monitor their movements. He added: 'I was surprised to find that Salman travels long distances daily. On one occasion he flew 606 km in just eight hours, starting from Turabah, passing through Qassim, then returning to Hail — soaring at altitudes exceeding 3,600 meters.' He said that Salman's feat occurred at the age of less than three months, demonstrating remarkable endurance and sustaining flight despite high temperatures — an uncommon achievement for a young peregrine. The event, which runs until Aug. 25, is organized by the Saudi Falcons Club, and is open daily from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Visitors and enthusiasts can follow the proceedings live on television and the official digital platforms of the Saudi Falcons Club. The event includes pavilions for breeders, an auction yard, supplies stores, and a special corner for the Future Falconer children's area. There are also a number of interactive presentations by falconers on care and breeding methods.
