Foreword By Mohammad Al Duaij, CEO Of Alea Global Group

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

I am delighted to be in the middle of our next event in Mexico City: the Latam Family Office Investment Summit, and looking forward to hearing all the expert insight into a wide variety of topics – I always learn so many new things from our speakers.

Within these pages we also have a huge array of subjects I hope you will enjoy.

The success story of Airbus is one worth celebrating as we look at their impact not only on air travel but also on the economy and on employment in Europe. We also look at the different uses of video games software, which is used by many sectors in surprising ways.

It is timely to take a look at the forthcoming US elections to see who the main players are, and we also have timeless topics such as real estate in Dubai and the impact of education investment.

Inclusive design champions are spotlighted with the story of Waad Al- Azmi, and retail revolution championed in our profile of the Quiltt app. We also celebrate the ‘hardest geezer’ raising money by running across Africa, and we look back at the extraordinary achievements of the late Mohammed Al Sharekh.

Finally, we explore the beautiful and remote islands of the Azores and their year-round natural surprises.

I hope you find the above as interesting as I did, and I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events around the world. As ever, you can contact me at info(at)aleaglobalgroup.com.
