  • McDonald’s Saudi Arabia Graduates First Female Cohort from Himmah Shift Leader Program

    McDonald’s Saudi Arabia Graduates First Female Cohort from Himmah Shift Leader Program

    McDonald’s Saudi Arabia announced the graduation of its first female batch of 23 shift leaders from the Himmah development program on May 14, 2026. The company said in a statement that the employees completed training in leadership, operational skills, teamwork and shift management, qualifying them for supervisory positions in its restaurants across the kingdom. This milestone comes as Saudi Arabia continues to advance women’s economic participation under Vision 2030.

    The Himmah program provided a comprehensive training journey focused on practical workplace excellence and leadership readiness, McDonald’s Saudi Arabia said in the statement. «The graduation of this first batch of female Shift Leaders through the “Himmah” program embodies McDonald’s Saudi Arabia’s commitment to supporting and empowering Saudi women and strengthening their active participation in the labor market, in alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which places significant emphasis on women’s empowerment and increasing their contribution to national development,» the statement added. General Authority for Statistics data shows the female labor force participation rate reached 36.2 percent in the third quarter of 2024. The figure reflects steady gains that have seen the rate more than double since 2017.

    McDonald’s Saudi Arabia operates more than 438 restaurants in the kingdom, according to company information. Oxford Economics estimated that the business supported more than 22,500 jobs and added approximately SAR3.6 billion to gross domestic product from April 2024 through March 2025. The Himmah initiative continues a pattern of talent development programs, following earlier schemes such as Tomooh that promoted Saudi nationals to restaurant manager roles.

    Training under Himmah emphasized building skills for long-term career advancement within the organization. Participants gained experience in team coordination and operational oversight essential for shift leadership. The company indicated that the program opens new professional opportunities for Saudi female talent in the competitive food service industry.

    In the statement, McDonald’s Saudi Arabia indicated plans to introduce additional initiatives aimed at national human capital development. Riyadh International Catering Company, the franchise operator, has positioned such programs as central to its community contributions. The efforts coincide with broader labor market reforms that have elevated Saudi women’s representation in multiple economic sectors.

    Similar programs have been implemented across the private sector to meet Saudization requirements. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has tracked rising employment rates among Saudi women in recent years. PwC assessments of GCC talent development have noted the importance of structured training programs like Himmah in building a skilled local workforce. These steps help address skills gaps while promoting inclusive growth.

  • Wikipedia Surpasses 66 Million Articles in Its 25th Year

    Wikipedia Surpasses 66 Million Articles in Its 25th Year

    On May 20, 2026, Wikipedia celebrates 25 years since its launch as its total articles have exceeded 66 million articles distributed across 342 languages according to a Pew Research Center report issued in January 2026. The site ranks eighth globally in terms of number of visits while the number of articles in the Russian version reached 2,101,318 articles to rank eighth among the language versions. Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger founded the project as a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit according to the wiki model.

    According to the Russian page on Wikipedia itself, the project began as a complement to Nupedia that was established in March 2000 before it was officially launched on January 15, 2001. The non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which was created in June 2003, owns the project and manages it. Wikipedia relies on three main policies that include not publishing original research, relying on reliable sources, and neutrality in presenting information.

    Data from the Pew Research Center showed that the total articles across all languages exceeded 66 million articles until December 2025, while the English version contains about 7 million articles. The site adds about 500 new articles daily in the English version alone according to Wikimedia statistics. The total views over the past decade reached 1.9 trillion views, or about 508 million views daily.

    The Russian Wikipedia page stated that the content is subject to the Creative Commons license and any user can edit articles immediately without prior official review. Studies showed that only 1 percent of contributors produced 80 percent of the content between 2001 and 2010. The foundation operates servers in the United States and the Netherlands to ensure service continuity.

    Wikimedia statistics indicated that the Russian version ranks eighth in terms of the number of articles, while it previously held fourth place in terms of visits. The encyclopedia published versions on compact discs and in print format between 2004 and 2010. Wikipedia received several awards in the years 2004, 2007, and 2008 in recognition of its role in disseminating knowledge.

    According to the Pew Research report, the content is widely used in education, science, and media despite being subject to some criticisms related to bias or vandalism. Some countries have imposed restrictions on access to it at various times. The spread of artificial intelligence technologies has led to a slight decline in the site’s popularity as a primary source of information.

This moves away from traditional black-box approaches to provide reliable, standards-compliant results for industrial use. du Tech’s collaboration with Bosch Software Digital Solutions focuses on joint go-to-market efforts and ecosystem growth to enable scaled implementation across enterprises.

    Jasim Alawadi, Chief ICT Officer at du, said in the statement, «By combining du Tech’s sovereign cloud and digital infrastructure with Bosch SDS’s global industrial expertise, we are enabling organizations to unlock the full value of their data and transform complex operations into actionable intelligence, while maintaining the highest standards of security, transparency, and control. This collaboration reflects du’s commitment to supporting the UAE’s vision for industrial growth and digital sovereignty.» The partnership aims to help industrial firms adopt AI solutions confidently.

    du served as strategic sponsor of the Intelligence Hub at the fifth edition of Make it in the Emirates 2026. The event took place from May 4 to 7 and provided a venue for du to demonstrate the platform in a simulated live industrial control setting. Attendees engaged with real-time scenarios involving equipment issues and production challenges, receiving AI-generated optimization suggestions.

  • Oqood Raises $1 Million to Expand Bilingual AI Legal Workspace Across MENA

    Oqood Raises $1 Million to Expand Bilingual AI Legal Workspace Across MENA

    UAE-based legaltech startup Oqood raised $1 million in seed funding from angel investors in October 2025 to expand its AI-powered legal workspace tailored to MENA laws and regulations, according to reports from Wamda and IncArabia. Founded in 2024 by Khaled Al Rasheed, the platform operates fully in both Arabic and English, a bilingual capability that distinguishes it from tools such as Harvey AI which have primarily served English-language markets. Oqood states that its technology completes legal tasks 12 times faster than traditional methods, reduces costs by 40 percent and minimizes errors by 99 percent.

    According to its website, Oqood functions as an all-in-one AI legal assistant that delivers instant access to up-to-date laws, court rulings, regulations and government documents drawn from official MENA sources. Users query the system in natural language to retrieve structured information, generate or modify legal documents within seconds and receive intelligent reviews that flag compliance issues or missing clauses. The platform also provides private cloud storage with end-to-end encryption that meets GDPR and ISO standards, allowing law firms, corporate teams and solo practitioners to upload and analyze sensitive files securely.

    Oqood has secured partnerships with the Kuwait Bar Association and backing from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences while earning recognition as a top 10 innovative product from SASCG, the company noted on its site. Al Rasheed has highlighted growing demand for regionally adapted legal technology amid a global legaltech market that reached $31 billion in 2024 and continues to expand at an annual rate of roughly 9.4 percent, as cited in funding coverage by Arageek and Zawya. Regional forecasts project the UAE legal tech market will grow to $449 million by 2030.

    The bilingual design of Oqood enables seamless handling of Arabic legal terminology and documentation alongside English, setting it apart from English-primary platforms such as Harvey that have expanded into additional languages only more recently. This focus allows the system to integrate directly with local jurisdictions across the GCC and broader MENA area where many professionals require dual-language support for research, drafting and client communications. Oqood draws its data exclusively from verified official publications and updates its database regularly to reflect legislative changes.

    Testimonials on the oqood.ai homepage emphasize practical gains for users. Jacob Bank, founder at Lawyer.app, said, «I used other tools in the past but it was slow and clunky. Now Oqood saves me time by auto-categorizing our cases more accurately and draft our document effectively.» A legal director at a leading telecom company stated, «Oqood enables us to complete legal research and drafting in minutes instead of hours. It’s a game-changer for our firm.» These accounts align with the company’s reported efficiency metrics for document automation and compliance checks.

    According to FAQs published on its website, Oqood serves as an assistive tool for routine legal work rather than a substitute for professional legal advice on complex matters. Target audiences span law firms, institutions, solo lawyers, businesses, students and corporate legal departments seeking to streamline workflows. The $1 million seed round will fund further product development and GCC market expansion, the company indicated in announcements covered by multiple regional outlets.
