Al Dhaid Date Festival introduces AI for the first time in dates competition judging
Sharjah: The Organising Committee of the Al Dhaid Date Festival has implemented artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in 'Mazaiena Al Rutab' (Dates Beauty) Contest, one of the festival's flagship events, in a pioneering move that reflects the Committee's commitment to enhancing judging mechanisms and raising competition standards. Organised by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), this year's edition of the festival drew in leading date producers, palm farmers from across the UAE, and representatives from 15 agricultural companies, alongside key government and private sector stakeholders, and home-based businesses. It took place from July 23 to 27 at Expo Al Dhaid. This initiative marks the first of its kind in the UAE and reflects Al Dhaid Date Festival's strategic focus on innovation and elevating the overall participant and visitor experience. The newly introduced AI system is designed to strengthen evaluation standards through advanced analysis of quality, size, color, and appearance, ensuring objective, transparent, and efficient judging across the festival's core competitions. These include the flagship 'Mazaiena Al Rutab', as well as dedicated categories for local lemons and figs, the children's 'Rutab Al Kharaif Beauty' contest, and the women-only homegrown date competition, all of which saw contestants presenting premium varieties of locally produced dates. The Organising Committee emphasised that the adoption of AI is part of the Al Dhaid Date Festival's strategic vision to drive digital transformation and harness technology in supporting agricultural stakeholders. This move aims to modernise palm product assessment systems, positioning the festival as a key national platform in the sector. It also fosters the convergence of agricultural heritage and technological advancement, highlighting the productivity and diversity of local crop yields and solidifying the UAE's global leadership in date and palm production.

'As AI reshapes regional economies, liquid cooling will no longer be a niche innovation – it will be mission-critical.' – Jay Gadhavi, KROHNE
As demand for bigger, better, faster, more artificial intelligence accelerates across the Middle East so does the need for more localised energy efficient IT infrastructure. KROHNE, a global leader in industrial measurement and instrumentation, has announced a significant scale-up in the production of its magnetic flow meters (magmeters) to support the region's growing need for advanced liquid cooling. KROHNE will dedicate a substantial share of its global manufacturing capacity to serve data centre clients worldwide, with a sharp focus on high-growth markets across the GCC. The move comes in response to the surge of hyperscale and edge data centres in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar—driven by national AI strategies and net-zero transformation agendas. To support this shift, KROHNE has launched a dedicated Center of Excellence for data center technologies at its facility in Beverly, Massachusetts. This hub will drive the development and deployment of next-generation magmeters, specifically engineered for the precision, repeatability, and durability required in liquid-cooled, AI-driven facilities. 'From Frankfurt to Fujairah, the world is in a race to unlock the power of AI,' said Frank Janssens, Vice President of the KROHNE Group. 'The future will be shaped by those who can build AI-ready infrastructure both rapidly and responsibly. At KROHNE, we are scaling up to meet that moment—ensuring cooling systems in tomorrow's data centres are smarter, more sustainable, and globally supported.' Magnetic flow meters are critical for enabling closed-loop liquid cooling—an essential requirement in high-performance computing environments where thermal loads must be managed precisely and efficiently. In high-heat regions like the Middle East, this becomes even more critical for operational stability, energy performance, and water conservation. 'The Middle East has a voracious appetite for future-ready digital infrastructure—and it must be met with technologies that are both precise and sustainable,' said Jay Gadhavi, General Manager of KROHNE Middle East. 'As AI reshapes regional economies, liquid cooling will no longer be a niche innovation—it will be mission-critical. That's where KROHNE's flow measurement solutions come in.' The announcement supports broader regional ambitions to become global leaders in AI and digital innovation: National AI Strategies in the GCC United Arab Emirates: UAE National AI Strategy 2031 – aims to position the UAE as a global AI hub with a focus on health, transport, energy, and smart cities. Saudi Arabia: Saudi Data & AI Authority (SDAIA) – launched the National Strategy for Data and AI (NSDAI) with a goal to become a global leader in AI by 2030, backed by giga-projects like NEOM and The Line. Qatar: Qatar National Artificial Intelligence Strategy – prioritizes economic diversification and AI-powered public services aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030. Oman: Oman AI Strategy (2021–2040) – focused on sustainable development and capacity building for AI talent. Kuwait: Kuwait Vision 2035 includes strategic digital transformation efforts, including a nascent AI agenda for government efficiency and public service delivery.
