Yango Group opens African headquarters in Abidjan
The new hub strengthens Yango Group's long-term strategy in Africa, supporting local innovation, entrepreneurship and digital infrastructure development. Yango Group, a UAE-based technology company operating in more than 30 countries, has established a new African regional headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. The new hub will oversee Yango's expanding operations across Africa and serve as a central base for innovation and coordination. With approximately 200 employees already active across the region, the company plans to further scale its local workforce in the coming year. Africa holds special significance for Yango, having been the launchpad for its international journey in 2018, starting in Côte d'Ivoire. Since then, the company has grown its footprint to 16 African countries, offering a range of digital services through its integrated Super App, including ride-hailing, food delivery, navigation, e-commerce and digital payments. The new regional office in Abidjan will now function as the command center for further expansion and localization efforts. Yango Group CEO Daniil Shuleyko said: 'This new regional office in Abidjan is a new chapter in our journey across Africa. Our strategy is to build digital ecosystems that empower countries from within — using global technologies, but always rooted in local realities. Africa was where our journey started — and today, we are investing in the future by making Abidjan home to our largest office in Africa — and the center of our strategy for the continent.' Yango's approach goes beyond delivering standalone services. The company is committed to strengthening local value chains by developing digital platforms tailored to the specific needs of African markets. This includes plans to offer more business-focused solutions aimed at helping regional enterprises grow and scale through technology. A major pillar of Yango's long-term vision involves investment in local talent. As part of this, the company is expanding the Yango Fellowship programme to a pan-African level, aiming to equip hundreds of thousands of young people with critical digital skills. Already operational in Côte d'Ivoire, the Fellowship will use the new Abidjan office as its regional coordination and training hub for Africa. Daniil Shuleyko added: 'Our mission goes beyond providing digital services. By investing in talent and skills, especially among young people, we're helping build the foundation for long-term innovation and self-sustaining digital ecosystems across Africa. With programmes like the Yango Fellowship, we want to empower the next generation of African tech leaders.'

I-Berhad goes big on AI, robotics to make i-City a smart living hub
KUALA LUMPUR: I-Berhad, the developer of Malaysia's flagship digital township i-City, is doubling down on its boldest vision yet, embedding artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into every layer of its operations, customer experience, and commercial ecosystem to cement i-City's position as the country's capital for smart urban living. Far beyond typical digital upgrades, I-Berhad's next phase sees AI and robotics not just as tools for efficiency or novelty but as the very operating system that will shape how i-City works and grows. "This isn't about putting a single robot in a lobby. It's about building a city that learns, responds, and delivers," said Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong, chairman of I-Berhad, adding that technology has always been part of i-City's DNA, not just a branding tagline. He pointed out that the strategy revolves around three key pillars: transforming internal operations, reimagining customer offerings, and positioning i-City as Malaysia's national hub for AI and robotics business. Within its operations, I-Berhad is already deploying AI to gain sharper insights across property and hospitality assets, from predictive maintenance and automated guest services to data-driven cost optimisation and real-time analytics to boost efficiency and service quality. Robotics pilots have begun as well, with service robots, including robot chefs at Wyndham Suites KLCC, being trialled to automate food and beverage operations, Lim said. "But the group's biggest bet is to bring robots into everyday living for residents and tenants. I-Berhad is exploring "kitchen packages" for new homes that could one day come with robot chefs, just like fridges and cookers today." Lim said that plans are also underway for delivery robots to bring food from local outlets directly to residents, all orchestrated via the i-City AI agent SuperApp, the township's integrated AI assistant. "It's just like when we bundled fibre broadband into homes two decades ago. It makes properties stickier and life more convenient," Lim told Business Times. Another major push is to transform i-City into Malaysia's national centre for AI and robotics commerce. Taking inspiration from Kuala Lumpur's iconic Low Yat Plaza, long known as the country's IT retail hub, I-Berhad wants to attract robotics retailers, startups, and global tech brands to anchor their presence in i-City's retail spaces. A new Request for Proposals (RFP) has been launched to invite partners in four key areas: retail showcases, education partnerships, SuperApp integration, and live deployments in theme parks and public spaces. "The goal is to make i-City a springboard for AI and robotics players eyeing the Asean market, using our annual footfall of over 10 million visitors as a test bed to showcase and refine new products," said I-Berhad director Datuk Eu Hong Chew. He added that the RFP is part of the group's broader strategy to reinvent its RM1 billion asset base in i-City, shifting from a traditional developer into a platform that integrates, showcases, and monetises AI and robotics. "We have three big strategic goals for AI and robotics," Eu said. "First, we're transforming internal operations — using AI for smarter decision-making, predictive maintenance, customer service, and financial analytics across our hospitality and property portfolio. "Second, we're using AI and robots to elevate what we offer our customers. Think of robot chefs bundled into kitchen packages for new homes, delivery bots serving residents, or concierge and security robots, all managed through our SuperApp." The third goal, EU explained, is to make AI and robotics a commercial pillar for the company. "We're turning i-City into Malaysia's 'Low Yat Plaza for robotics', clustering robotics retailers, education labs, startups, and B2B showcases in one ecosystem. The RFP invites partners to help us build this ecosystem and position i-City as a regional launchpad for global tech brands wanting Asean entry," he said. "AI and robotics are still evolving, so the RFP is our corporate way of casting a wide net to bring in the best partners and ideas. The other approach comes from Lim's early legacy. He was Malaysia's earliest investor in China in the 1980s and he is now building on his ties to translate into strategic alliances with China-centric AI and robotics players," Eu added. Beyond traditional development, Eu said I-Berhad is also focused on maximising the value of its land by turning i-City into a "living lab" for Malaysian universities, startups, and researchers to run real-world AI and robotics trials, supported by i-City's existing visitor base and infrastructure.

Bolt integrates Klarna's payment options into CheckoutOS
Checkout and identity platform Bolt has added Klarna's payment options into its CheckoutOS, enabling merchants to offer 'flexible' payment methods to consumers. The integration positions Klarna as the default payment method on Bolt's platform, allowing customers to use Klarna's Pay in 4 feature to split payments or opt for financing on higher-value items. The collaboration streamlines the addition of new payment methods for merchants, eliminating the need for additional contracts or technical development. Klarna's payment options on Bolt-powered stores provide a 'one-click' checkout experience, combining identity verification and payment processing into a single action. The initial phase will see the integration go live in the US later this year, with subsequent plans to extend into other markets and sectors. Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow said: "Bolt merchants need powerful tools that help them capture consumer spend. By embedding Klarna natively, we're giving every merchant—from emerging brands to enterprise-scale retailers—a turnkey way to offer flexible payments, without lengthy contracts or approval processes. 'We're excited for our network of 80 million shoppers to discover the simplicity of one-click checkout paired with Klarna's flexible payment options." Bolt's suite of products include CheckoutOS and the SuperApp, an all-in-one finance and crypto hub. Last month, Bolt launched Bolt Connect, to help marketplaces onboard merchants. It also confirmed the support for stablecoin payments. In Q1 2025, Klarna reported a $3m adjusted operating profit, up $5m from the same period in the previous year. "Bolt integrates Klarna's payment options into CheckoutOS " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.
