Foreword By Mohammad Al Duaij, CEO Of Alea Global Group

The final edition of the year is upon us so quickly. This is always a celebratory moment, as we look back at a full year of events around the world in which we have brought so many of you together.

December is also the month of our longest-running seasonal spectacular – our aurora borealis – which is the Middle East Family Office Investment Summit in Dubai.

With each year, and each summit, I strive to grow Alea Global Group in ways that make it most useful to my friends and colleagues.

With that in mind, I am delighted to announce our support of Sara Al Ateeqi in her new event series for financially fluent women in Saudi Arabia (you will find details within this issue).

Also covered in this edition is news of incredible developments in creating synthetic blood for human transplants, as well as the excellent work of Human Dimensions in transforming lives.

We look at the battle between BYD and Tesla to revolutionise our vehicles, and we assess the opportunities for family offices in LATAM ahead of our first summit in 2026.

The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the return of Concorde, are equally exciting for travellers. We also examine the curious history of the different but related class systems in both the UK and Australia and how they came to be.
