Foreword By Mohammad Al Duaij, CEO Of Alea Global Group

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of The Alea Journal.

In this issue we are as usual diving right into the opportunities presented by our rapdily changing world.

We may not always know how things will turn out, but as entrepreneurs and leaders we take the plunge with optimism and all the expertise we can find. This includes the sometimes thorny issue of artificial intelligence and how this may develop to influence our daily lives – not just at work but elsewhere too.

We also look at the rising powers of Russia, China and the Gulf region and prepare for an international upheaval which could see them as our global leading forces.

At the same time, we look at increasing our stability by following the latest developments in supply chain innovation, and comparing unicorn investments to slower growing camel alternatives.

In cultural news we explore Italy’s efforts to retain its food heritage; the enduring appeal of Damascus; and the baffling trend of a yoga lifestyle with no connection to yoga.

In light of the recent Jordanian wedding we also reflect on the beautiful ceremony and celebrations.

To share your ideas or news of your own, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. In the meantime, we hope to see you at one or more of our forthcoming events.
