4 days agoSpeed, Data, and the Great Consolidation: What's Powering MENA's Quick Commerce?
Quick commerce in MENA has rapidly evolved into a necessity, driven by high smartphone usage and cashless payment adoption.
Today at its flagship advertiser event, Brandcast, YouTube announced it will begin rolling out Veo 3, Google's most powerful AI video generation model, on YouTube Shorts for free to select countries in MENA over the coming weeks. The announcement comes as new GWI data reveals a significant, unique audience on the platform, with 61% of YouTube Shorts users in Saudi Arabia and 54% in the UAE reporting that they do not use Instagram Reels.
Winning not one, but three awards at this year's African FinTech Summit is a proud moment for our team. It reflects the hard work and creativity of our team, and our ongoing dedication to delivering innovative solutions that empower traders and support financial inclusion across Africa and the MENA region. Our role as Global Sponsor reinforces our commitment to leading fintech transformation in these vital markets.
