SOUEAST, the revitalized automotive brand, hosted its first-ever International Business Annual Conference in Shanghai, bringing together hundreds of global distributors under the theme 'EASE YOUR LIFE.' This milestone event marks a new chapter in the company's international journey, highlighting a fresh approach to smart, comfortable, and accessible urban mobility.
During the conference, attendees experienced SOUEAST's newest vehicles—S09, S07, S06, and the hybrid S06 DM—through immersive test drives in Shanghai's Chuansha district. The event gave global partners and media a hands-on introduction to SOUEAST's innovative design and performance. A Global Strategy with Local Impact
Founded in 1995, SOUEAST is entering a new era following a major restructuring in 2024. The company is now rolling out a five-year international expansion plan aimed at bringing smarter mobility to younger, urban drivers around the world.
Key to this plan is a 'local production, global coordination' model. SOUEAST is investing in 6 international R&D centers and expanding its manufacturing base with 13 operational facilities across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and South America—and 6 more on the way. This growth ensures faster delivery, better local adaptation, and enhanced innovation. Growing Global Presence
SOUEAST has already made significant strides in 2024, entering over 30 international markets and establishing 144 sales networks. With strong backing from its parent Group, the brand is focused on building a reliable global supply chain and offering faster, more responsive service and spare parts delivery—ensuring a smoother experience for customers everywhere. A New Vehicle Lineup for Modern Drivers
At the heart of SOUEAST's vision is a new generation of vehicles designed for urban living. The company introduced a refreshed product lineup of SUVs and sedans across key segments, with additional models—including a next-gen urban pickup—planned by 2030.
All vehicles will feature SOUEAST's signature design philosophy: Stylish, Comfortable, and Smart Technology. Powertrains will range from traditional internal combustion engines to hybrid and fully electric options, powered by proprietary technologies that offer greater fuel efficiency, smoother performance, and enhanced safety. Smarter Service, Better Support
To support its expanding footprint, SOUEAST is revamping its global service network with cutting-edge technologies like AR-enabled service stations and faster delivery systems. These improvements are aimed at redefining the after-sales experience and setting new standards in customer satisfaction. A Vision for the Future
The Shanghai conference marks a major step forward in SOUEAST's global journey. With strong investment, a growing international network, and a bold vision to transform urban mobility, the company is poised to become a key player in the future of city driving.
By partnering with global distributors and staying focused on user experience, SOUEAST aims to deliver on its promise to 'Ease Your Life'—making everyday mobility smarter, safer, and more enjoyable.

Emirates Group and the Federal Youth Authority establish strategic partnership aimed at fostering youth empowerment

Post Views: 49 The Emirates Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federal Youth Authority to establish a strategic framework that further develops the Group's youth community, inspiring generations of aviation and travel professionals. His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed emphasised the importance of empowering youth, recognising the need to forge partnerships with like-minded entities: 'The young minds at the Emirates Group are invaluable to our organisation. They provide fresh perspectives that inspire positive change, fuelled by passion and contagious energy. This strategic partnership with the Federal Youth Authority reflects our Emiratisation team's ongoing commitment to empowering youth, in line with the UAE's National Youth Agenda 2031. We hope it will motivate our entire community to keep innovating, dream big, and further build on the successes of the Group. Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders. We will continue to invest in them, ensuring they are future-ready to drive our nation's achievements across all fronts – including travel and aviation.' In the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline and Group and His Excellency Dr Sultan Saif Al Neyadi, Minister of State for Youth Affairs; the MoU was signed by Yousuf Bin Lahej Al Falasi, Vice President Emiratisation and Government Partnerships at the Emirates Group and Khalid Mohammed Al Nuaimi, Director of the Federal Youth Authority. His Excellency Dr. Sultan Al Neyadi, UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, stated: 'This partnership reflects the enduring vision of the UAE's leadership, which recognises youth as the driving force behind the nation's future growth and progress. Guided by this belief, our national youth strategies empower young people with the resources and opportunities to unlock their potential and shape a sustainable future reflecting the UAE's ambitions and global leadership. HE added: 'The MoU between the Federal Youth Authority and the Emirates Group will establish a practical framework encouraging young Emirati talent to pursue careers in the aviation sector. This partnership will unlock a host of opportunities for professional growth and drive youth's participation in pioneering national projects. We aim to nurture a generation of leaders and experts equipped with the skills and knowledge to steer the future of aviation with excellence, reinforcing the UAE's global leadership and elevating its international stature.' Under the MoU, the Emirates Group and the Federal Youth Authority will explore joint initiatives that empower, develop, and engage the Group's community of Emirati youth, with the common objective of creating a robust pipeline of aviation leaders. The two entities aim to organise bespoke training workshops, seminars and capacity-building programmes designed to attract and retain talented Emiratis, placing them in an array of roles within the Emirates Group's business units and brands. The Emirates Group's Emirati community of youth will also benefit from access to the Federal Youth Authority's nation-wide initiatives and projects to expand their connections, insights and expertise. The establishment of the strategic partnership between the Emirates Group and the Federal Youth Authority was led by The Emirates Group Youth Council's first cohort. Throughout their tenure, the eleven members of the Emirates Group Youth Council have been actively involved in working towards the objectives of the UAE's National Youth Strategy, from organising a Youth Summit to supporting Aviation Future Week 2024 and a host of other events and initiatives. Earlier this year, the cohort was recognised among the top three private sector youth councils in the UAE at the Youth Councils Forum 2025. Held at Expo City Dubai by the Federal Youth Authority, the forum is the UAE's largest youth gathering and celebrates the achievements and dedication of youth councils nation-wide.
