CSG Entitlements-as-a-Service, powered by NetLync, will help them save time and resources, launch new services faster and provide a customer experience that builds lasting loyalty.”

Combining CSG and NetLync’s strengths in this platform marks a turning point for MNOs and MVNOs, who have long struggled with complex, fragmented entitlement systems. Built for speed and simplicity, CSG Entitlements-as-a-Service, powered by NetLync, removes the roadblocks of legacy infrastructure and enables operators to scale with ease, instantly roll out new features and deliver smoother onboarding. For subscribers, the result is fewer service delays, faster device setup and instant access to the latest features, which, in turn, drives their trust and loyalty.

“NetLync’s partnership with CSG gives MNOs and MVNOs a powerful solution to embrace the shift to eSIM,” said Emir Aboulhosn, CEO & Co-Founder, NetLync. “With CSG Entitlements-as-a-Service, powered by NetLync, operators can leapfrog the limitations of outdated entitlement systems and accelerate their path to scalability and innovation.

Thrifty UAE Shifts Gears at ATM 2025 with Smart Kiosks, Flexible Rentals, and Ambitious Growth Plans

 Consumer expectations around mobility are shifting. Convenience, speed, and personalisation are driving demand in the UAE’s growing car rental market. At Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025, Thrifty Car Rentals UAE is reintroducing itself as a brand designed for today’s on-demand world. From flexible rental options to the launch of a self-service kiosk experience, the brand is building a future-ready ecosystem shaped around how people live, move, and connect.

Flexible rental models for a dynamic customer base

Thrifty is launching two new services that cater to UAE residents, visitors, and entrepreneurs seeking convenience without long-term commitments. The Monthly Specials offering is tailored for customers who want affordable access to a vehicle, with the flexibility to renew or switch based on evolving plans. The Lease-to-Own model supports individuals on a path to vehicle ownership through manageable monthly payments and transparent terms.

Both offerings are designed to deliver greater value, particularly for customers navigating fast-paced lifestyles or transitioning through different life stages in the UAE.

Thrifty Rolls Into Hotels: Car Rentals at Your Fingertips"

Thrifty is redefining convenience for travelers by launching car rental services across leading hotel chains in key tourist hubs. With our cutting-edge tech now embedded at these locations, tourists can seamlessly book a rental car within seconds—right from their hotel lobby or room.

This initiative is designed to put mobility in the palm of our customers' hands, eliminating the usual hassle of searching for transportation. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip or a planned excursion, travelers can now unlock a vehicle in just a few taps and get back to what they came for: experiencing the destination, not navigating logistics.

At Thrifty, we’re committed to enabling smarter, faster, and more intuitive travel—making every trip not just easier, but more enjoyable.

Accelerating footprint growth in key locations via region’s-first smart booking kiosk

As part of its long-term growth strategy, Thrifty is set to more than double its network of locations across the Emirates. The brand aims to expand to over 100 touchpoints within the next 18 to 24 months, focusing on high-demand zones such as residential neighborhoods, transit hubs, and retail destinations.

For this massive expansion, Thrifty UAE is marking the debut of their digital booking kiosk at ATM—a self-service station that simplifies the car rental process from start to finish. Customers can browse, select, and book a vehicle in minutes, with delivery to their location within one to three hours. Each kiosk will offer:

• A fully digital booking experience

• An intuitive touchscreen interface

• Quick verification and payment options

• Planned 24/7 live support integration

“Mobility today is about ease, access, and integration into daily life,” said Chand Soni, Head of Retail at Thrifty Car Rentals, Abu Dhabi, UAE. “Our goal is to meet people where they are—whether that’s through smarter locations, digital convenience, or partnerships that deliver everyday value. We’re building more than a rental network; we’re building a connected experience.”

Thrifty will begin rolling out these kiosks in residential communities, shopping centres, and strategic business districts, enabling easier access to rental services where customers live and work.

Loyalty-driven collaborations

To enhance customer value and everyday convenience, Thrifty UAE is entering into strategic partnerships with top regional brands across the Oil & Gas, retail, and tourism sectors. Announced at ATM 2025, Thrifty’s new partnerships with GeoWash UAE and Ocean Dusk Travels will unlock tangible benefits. Thrifty users will enjoy 50% off waterless car washes at GeoWash locations across the UAE, while Ocean Dusk customers will now have access to bespoke rental packages through Thrifty’s extensive nationwide network. These initiatives reflect the brand’s broader vision of going beyond rentals to deliver integrated mobility and lifestyle experiences, creating meaningful value for today’s cost-conscious, convenience-driven traveller.

With digital offerings, new product lines, and an ambitious growth roadmap, Thrifty Car Rentals UAE is investing in experiences that prioritise speed, simplicity, and accessibility. The launch at ATM 2025 signals a step towards a more connected and responsive mobility landscape—one built around the evolving needs of residents, travellers, and the communities they move through.

About Thrifty Car Rental UAE

Thrifty Car Rental is one of the world’s largest and most recognized car rental companies, known for catering to cost-conscious business and leisure travellers. Established in 1989 as part of A.A. Al Moosa Enterprises – a diversified group with interests across architecture, design, hospitality, real estate, and manufacturing – Thrifty Car Rental UAE has been a trusted name in the region for over 40 years.

Putting friendships center stage, the brand’s SS25 campaign, “To the Ones Who Carry Us,” celebrates those who - just like the brand’s signature Deco handbag – carry us through life.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- kate spade new york today unveils its Spring/Summer 2025 global brand campaign, “To The Ones Who Carry Us,” starring Grammy-nominated Artist, Ice Spice, and dancer and multi-faceted social media star, Charli D’Amelio. Introducing a bold, seasonal campaign that embraces a fresh aesthetic to connect to younger audiences, the campaign celebrates the universal roles friends play in a girl’s life with creative scenes that bring modern, relatable energy to the brand.

“This campaign is a vibrant love letter to the friends who shape a girl’s life,” said Eva Erdmann, CEO and Brand President of kate spade new york. “Since joining the brand, we've been exploring new meaningful ways to connect with a younger audience. In a world where digital interactions often overshadow genuine connections, the profound bond of friendship becomes, more than ever, an indispensable anchor. kate spade new york’s latest campaign celebrates fierce friends: the ones who show up, have your back, and brighten the everyday. As Kate Spade herself once said, ‘A good friend is like the perfect handbag – always by your side, effortlessly lifting your spirit, and making every adventure a little more fabulous.’”

Starring Ice Spice—known for her fearless authenticity—and Charli D’Amelio—celebrated for her ability to resonate with her audience— kate spade new york’s latest campaign spotlights the Deco Chain Shoulder Bag in two new seasonal colorways. Set in a vibrant cityscape, the film captures the energy of Gen Z’s bold, fast-moving lives—and the fierce friends who carry them through it all. At the center is Deco: a versatile essential that seamlessly transitions from day to night, casual to polished, proving one bag can do it all. From the post-breakup pep talker to the friend group unifier, the campaign celebrates those who show up, stand out, and make every moment count.

Erdmann continued, “We celebrate the many facets of friendship, honoring the unique qualities that make every friend group special. Like the friends who carry us, the Deco handbag from kate spade new york takes center stage—symbolizing simplicity, functionality, and versatility as the perfect companion to your life.”

This campaign was exciting to me because it’s all about celebrating friendships,” says Ice Spice. “My friends mean everything to me—they keep me grounded, especially my sister and cousins. They’re the ones I call when I’m homesick, when I’m hyped, or when I just need to be reminded of who I am and where I came from.”

“I’m so excited to partner with kate spade new york,” says Charli D’Amelio. “I’ve loved the brand for years, especially how its modern designs allow me to express my own personal style. I think it’s really cool to see how this campaign celebrates the power of friendship and the joy it brings. It makes me think of the lifelong friendships I have that started as a child, growing up, going to school together, being in the same dance company, or new friends I’ve met through work or moving to new cities – I am so grateful to have had the amazing opportunity of forming friendships with new people along the way.”

The Deco handbag steps boldly into the spotlight, reimagined for the season in standout Spring/Summer colorways—Blue Multi Denim, Jungle Vine, Pistachio, Sweet Cream and Apricot Cream. A modern expression of kate spade’s design DNA, Deco fuses clean lines, minimalist form, and effortless, everyday luxury. It’s made for the one who carries more than just her essentials—she carries her world, and often, everyone else’s too.

Dollar Unveils Innovative Mobility Solutions and Subscription Loyalty Program at ATM 2025

 UAE Car Rental Market Set to Hit $214 Million by 2029

With the UAE’s car rental market projected to surpass USD 214.7 million and serve more than 829,000 users by 2029, Dollar Car Rental UAE has seized the opportunity and spotlight at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025 by unveiling a trio of innovative mobility services and a strategic lifestyle partnership with Danube Sports World.

Regionally, the Middle East car rental sector is growing even faster, forecast to expand at a CAGR of 10.42%, driven by booming tourism, digital transformation, and an increasing demand for flexible, customer-centric solutions. As international visitor spending rises and business travel rebounds, the demand for accessible, premium, and tech-enabled rental solutions continues to climb.

Recognizing the region’s surging demand for flexible, tech-enabled, and lifestyle-oriented mobility solutions, Dollar UAE has introduced three new services tailored to the evolving needs of customers:

Monthly Subscription – A hassle-free alternative to ownership, this model allows customers to drive a vehicle for a month or more with no long-term commitment, and allows them the flexibility to switch models based on their changing lifestyle, travel, or work needs. It’s ideal for expats, frequent business travellers, and those seeking ultimate flexibility.

Personal Lease (PL) – Designed for UAE residents and entrepreneurs, this long-term leasing solution offers an all-inclusive, worry-free experience and is a cost-effective alternative to traditional financing. With all-inclusive plans and no hidden fees, it simplifies the process of having a personal vehicle.

Dollar Prestige – Catering to those who seek comfort and class, this premium line features luxury vehicles including BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz. Whether for business meetings or weekend getaways, Dollar Prestige delivers an elevated driving experience.

“Dollar & More” – A First-of-Its-Kind Loyalty Program

In a move to further enhance customer engagement, Dollar UAE also launched ‘Dollar & More’, the UAE’s first homegrown loyalty program dedicated to car leasing and rentals. The program is designed to go beyond just rewarding frequent renters offering an integrated lifestyle experience. Members can get benefits on their rentals when they subscribe, or lease, and in near future will have a  growing range of lifestyle benefits including discounts on travel, dining, fitness, entertainment, and more.

“With Dollar & More, we’re moving beyond transactions to build a lifestyle-focused mobility ecosystem,” said Anudeeep Raghuthaman, Head of Sales & Marketing, Dollar Car Rental UAE. “We’re building a community of modern travelers and residents who value choice, convenience, and rewards that go beyond the road.”

Driving Lifestyle and Mobility Forward

As part of this broader lifestyle vision, Dollar UAE also announced a collaboration with Danube Sports World, offering exclusive rental discounts to Danube customers. The partnership will evolve into joint offers and experiences that reflect the shared ethos of customer-centric innovation.

The UAE’s position as a global travel and business hub—combined with its smart mobility strategies and rising visitor numbers—continues to shape the evolution of car rental. Dubai alone has recorded double-digit growth in tourist arrivals, and its 2040 Urban Master Plan prioritizes sustainable, tech-enabled urban mobility.

“Customers today want freedom and flexibility, without the baggage of ownership,” added Anudeep. “Our new services are built for this modern mobility mindset, helping residents and visitors navigate the UAE with ease and elegance.”

With its latest services and strategic collaborations, Dollar UAE is actively influencing the future of mobility in the region, setting new standards for flexibility, convenience, and customer experience.

EXEED Unveils AiMOGA Intelligent Robots and ES Performance Edition at Shanghai Auto Show Pioneering a New Era of Smart and Performance-Driven Innovation

 Global premium automotive brand EXEED made a striking appearance at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show under the theme “Shift To Tomorrow,” unveiling its three major new energy models—ET, ES, and RX PHEV—alongside its self-developed AiMOGA intelligent robots.

As a highlight of the press conference, EXEED showcased the AiMOGA robots’ “multi-robot collaboration” capabilities for the first time, demonstrating the brand’s leadership in intelligent technology. Meanwhile, the global debut of the ES Performance Edition drew widespread attention from media and audiences, impressing with its aggressive race-inspired design and outstanding performance.

EXEED Accelerates AI Robot Development, Ushering in the Era of Intelligent Mobility

EXEED began humanoid robot research and development in 2020. In 2023, the company officially released its self-developed robot and robotic dog ecosystem products.

In 2024, EXEED announced an investment of over AED 100 million to accelerate its robotics business, which has now entered the mass production phase. During the Shanghai Auto Show, AiMOGA robots successfully completed a “multi-robot collaboration” demonstration, marking a major milestone in EXEED’s robotics journey and paving the way for further breakthroughs in intelligent mobility.

Upgraded Multi-Robot Coordination: "One Command, Multiple Robots Collaboration"

"In the past, one robot would receive and execute voice commands; today, one robot understands your instructions and coordinates multiple robots to complete tasks," explained the AiMOGA Intelligent System lead.

At the show, audiences witnessed a "multi-robot squad" of three robots, executing tasks such as welcoming guests, delivering water, and providing directions, based on a unified large model framework for language understanding and task scheduling.

Achieving this “multi-robot one-brain” coordination was a major technical challenge. To overcome it, the team developed a scheduling algorithm integrated with a large model mechanism, enabling the robots to receive and execute unified commands with flexible task division—much like a coordinated workgroup.

Qin Chao, CEO of EXEED, stated:

"EXEED is not only focused on robotics development but also applies breakthroughs in language interaction and AI technology to our high-end vehicles, creating a 'human-vehicle-robot' intelligent mobility ecosystem for an even smarter and more convenient user experience."

Global Debut of the ES Performance Edition

At the EXEED press conference, the ES Performance Edition made a stunning debut. It builds upon the “Nature’s Power” design philosophy while deeply integrating the brand’s performance DNA.

In terms of design, the ES Performance Edition introduces extensive track-grade aerodynamic enhancements to its streamlined fastback silhouette. This ensures it maintains the industry-leading acceleration of 0–100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, while also delivering sharper handling and a more aggressive, performance-focused aesthetic.

Lightweight construction was pushed to the extreme with widespread use of carbon fiber in key areas—including the grille, hood, side skirts, rear wing, and rear diffuser. A full carbon-fiber hood with a large ventilation outlet, carefully placed aerodynamic blades across the body, and an adjustable two-stage rear wing combine to craft EXEED’s distinctive performance coupe identity.

At speeds of up to 210 km/h, the rear wing generates 110 kilograms of downforce, significantly enhancing road adhesion and high-speed stability.

The ES Performance Edition also makes a bold statement with its "Pulse Green" metallic fluorescent paint. The high-saturation fluorescent base, infused with shimmering multicolored particles, reveals a radiant golden pulse under strong light, while transforming into a mysterious dark green in shadow. The shifting metallic particles create a dynamic "breathing" effect, delivering a visually stunning, pulse-like impact that brings the vehicle vividly to life.

The UAE is the launch market for EXLANTIX. It is reported that EXEED plans to expand into high-regulation markets, including European countries such as Norway and Denmark, and will gradually launch a series of track tour test drive events across global markets.

A ‘Complete Revolution’ in Manufacturing: NTT DATA Research Reveals GenAI’s Transformative Potential and Impact on Core Functions

TOKYO & LONDON - Wednesday, 30. April 2025

Despite clear opportunities to improve efficiency and bottom-line performance with GenAI, lack of usage policies and essential guardrails leave most manufacturers at risk

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and technology services, today introduced new data that shows manufacturing organizations worldwide are increasingly turning to GenAI to establish smart factories, spur innovation, improve productivity, build resilience and gain competitive advantage. The report – "Feet on the Floor, Eyes on AI: Do you have a plan or a problem?" – also uncovers significant challenges related to workforce and infrastructure readiness as well as ethical frameworks for governance.

The study surveyed more than 500 manufacturing leaders and decision makers in 34 countries. Key findings include:

    95% of respondents said GenAI is already directly improving efficiency and bottom-line performance.

    94% expect the integration of Internet of Things (i.e., IoT/edge) data into GenAI models will significantly improve the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated outputs.

    91% say combining digital twins and GenAI will improve both physical asset performance and supply chain resilience.

    Respondents said their most frequent use cases are supply chain and inventory management; knowledge management; quality control; research and development; and process automation.

“AI is streamlining processes and redefining what’s possible across the entire manufacturing value chain, from supply chain predictions to quality control,” said Prasoon Saxena, Co-Lead, Products Industries, NTT DATA, Inc. “GenAI can help organizations achieve flexibility in fast-changing business environments, especially in the face of uncertain tariff policies worldwide.”

Challenges to Success

Satisfaction with AI initiatives has surged over the past year, yet manufacturers still face significant challenges that include:

    Infrastructure: 92% of manufacturers said old technologies hinder vital initiatives, but less than half have conducted a full infrastructure readiness assessment.

    Complementary technologies: 94% expect the integration of Internet of Things (i.e., IoT/edge) data into GenAI models will significantly improve the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated outputs, yet not all are confident in their ability to complete such integrations.

    Responsible frameworks: While ethical AI is on the radar, only 47% of manufacturing leaders strongly agree their organization follows a robust framework that balances risk with value creation.

    Workforce readiness: Two-thirds of manufacturers say their employees lack the necessary skills to use GenAI effectively, creating functional and operational disadvantages and risks.

    Data Management: Just 41% of manufacturers strongly agree they have enough data storage and processing capabilities to support their GenAI workload needs, which will limit success.

“The most successful manufacturing organizations have already integrated GenAI into essential operations,” Saxena said. “Companies failing to plan, deploy and govern GenAI strategically will not only have a problem, they may be planning to fail.”
