Speakers highlighted the GCC’s resilience and reforms as key factors in maintaining an advantage amid uneven global growth; Leaders agreed that while technology is advancing rapidly, judgment, capital allocation and governance are increasingly determining who pulls ahead and who falls behind in a K-shaped global economy; Discussions explored how compressed decision cycles are reshaping organisations and investment models, with direct implications for talent pipelines, junior roles and the future structure of work; Family offices emerged as a focal point, as intergenerational transitions drive a shift from wealth preservation toward private assets, direct ownership and venture building.

Residual biomass from tomato production is turned into climate-friendly aviation fuel. The aim of the EU ToFuel project is to develop a waste-free and CO₂-neutral biorefinery concept that produces sustainable and economically competitive aviation fuel.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. Using an advanced technique called mix-and-inject serial crystallography at Japan's SACLA X-ray free-electron laser facility, the team observed domain movements and structural changes in the enzyme, copper amine oxidase enzyme over millisecond timescales, revealing dynamics that are nearly impossible to observe by other methods.
