BIG Reimagines Dubai's Jebel Ali Racecourse as an Urban Oasis

BIG–Bjarke Ingels plans to transform Dubai's Jebel Ali Racecourse into a vibrant, walkable district centered on community life. Jun 21, 2025 In partnership with Dubai-based developer A.R.M. Holding, architecture firm BIG has unveiled a masterplan to redevelop the 5-square-kilometre Jebel Ali site into a pedestrian-oriented urban district. The design aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Vision and focuses on mobility, environmental performance, and livability. At the centre of the project is a large public park that runs through eight distinct neighbourhoods, creating a green corridor surrounded by shaded plazas and walkable streets. The plan integrates natural elements with infrastructure to support more accessible and climate-conscious urban living. The site's existing racetrack will be retained and incorporated into the development, acknowledging the location's heritage while introducing new public facilities, cultural institutions, and civic spaces. The layout is designed as a series of urban clusters surrounded by green space, offering visual and physical links to the central park. Transport within the district will rely on an automated system to minimise car use and promote alternative mobility options such as walking and cycling. The design incorporates passive cooling features, shaded areas, and desert-inspired landscaping to create more comfortable outdoor environments throughout the year. 'This project is an archipelago of urban islands in a sea of green—reimagining the site not as a collection of objects in isolation, but as a living landscape of interconnected communities,' BIG founder Bjarke Ingels says. Construction is set to begin in early 2026. The Jebel Ali project is intended to inform future urban developments in Dubai, particularly in areas of walkability, integration, and environmental adaptability.

Trump grants TikTok another 90-day extension in enforcement of sale-or-ban law

TikTok just got another lifeline from the White House, with President Donald Trump set to delay enforcement of the sale-or-ban law by another 90 days. 'President Trump will sign an additional Executive Order this week to keep TikTok up and running,' Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said in a statement on Tuesday. 'As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark. This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure.' On Thursday, Trump confirmed that he'd signed an executive order delaying enforcement of the law by 90 days in a Truth Social post. The deadline for TikTok parent company ByteDance to hand over control of TikTok's US operations is now September 17. It's been about five months since a law requiring TikTok to be banned in the United States unless it's sold off by its China-based parent company technically went into effect. But thanks to President Donald Trump's promises not to enforce the law, neither of those things have happened, aside from an approximately 14-hour blackout in January. Tuesday's announcement marks Trump's third extension of the ban. The announcement means that the app will remain accessible for its 170 million American users despite the legislation that passed last year with bipartisan support over concerns that TikTok's Chinese ownership poses a US national security risk. And it comes as both the United States and China seek leverage in tense trade talks, in which TikTok appears to have become a bargaining chip. The TikTok sale-or-ban law went into effect on January 19 after it was signed by former President Joe Biden last year. TikTok briefly took itself offline, sparking outcry from creators, but quickly came back after Trump signed an order delaying the ban's enforcement by 75 days. It was one of his first acts as president, made in hopes of reaching a deal to keep the app 'alive.' In April, a deal that would have transferred majority control of TikTok's US operations to American ownership was nearly finalized. But it fell apart after Trump announced additional tariffs on China, forcing the president to announce another 75-day delay to keep the app operational in the United States. 'There are key matters to be resolved. Any agreement will be subject to approval under Chinese law,' TikTok parent company ByteDance said after Trump's tariff policy stalled progress on the deal in April. That pause was set to expire on June 19, before Trump's Thursday executive order. . Trump's latest enforcement delay raises questions about the status of a deal that could secure TikTok's long-term future in the United States. The Chinese government has offered little public indication that it would be willing to approve a sale beyond suggesting that any deal could not include TikTok's 'algorithm,' which has been called the app's secret sauce. In a statement on Thursday, TikTok indicated that it is still in talks with the office of Vice President JD Vance — who Trump appointed to oversee the effort — on a deal that would secure the popular short-form video platform's future in the United States. 'We are grateful for President Trump's leadership and support in ensuring that TikTok continues to be available for more than 170 million American users and 7.5 million U.S. businesses that rely on the platform as we continue to work with Vice President Vance's Office,' TikTok said in a statement. The new extension comes after the United States and China agreed on a framework to ease export controls, a move that's expected to ease tensions and prevent further escalation of export and other restrictions between the two countries. It's not clear whether a TikTok deal is included in the framework, but cooperation between the two sides could make an agreement to transfer control of the app to a US buyer more likely. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that a TikTok deal would 'probably' require approval by the Chinese government and said, 'I think we'll get it.' 'I think President Xi will ultimately approve it, yes,' the US president added. The deal that had been in the making earlier this year would have involved several American venture capital funds, private equity firms and tech giants investing in a company that would control TikTok's US operations. TikTok's China-based owner, ByteDance, would have retained a 20% stake in the spinoff company — a key stipulation of the law. Several other high-profile bidders had also put their hands up to acquire the platform, including a group led by billionaire Frank McCourt and 'Shark Tank'-famous investor Kevin O'Leary, Amazon, AI firm Perplexity and a separate group of investors that included YouTube and TikTok star Jimmy Donaldson, known online as MrBeast. It was Trump who first tried to ban TikTok during his previous administration, but he has said he changed his mind after he 'got to use it.' TikTok CEO Shou Chew attended Trump's inauguration, seated on stage alongside Cabinet secretaries and other tech CEOs.

Swypex Launches Egypt's First Approval-Based Corporate Card

Backed by Accel and licensed by Egypt's central bank, Swypex's new product brings dynamic, policy-driven spend controls to local businesses as part of its Premium offering. Jun 20, 2025 Cairo-based fintech platform Swypex has launched Egypt's first Approval-Based Limits Card, a new product designed to give businesses precise control over employee spending. The card is available exclusively through Swypex Premium, the company's recently introduced subscription tier for enterprise financial management. The Approval-Based Limits Card allows finance teams to assign dynamic spending limits that remain locked until individual transactions are reviewed and approved. This model, inspired by petty cash systems, enables a rotating balance approach — giving finance departments real-time visibility and automated enforcement of internal policies. Swypex's rollout comes amid Egypt's accelerating digital transformation. While mobile wallets and financial inclusion are on the rise — with over 74% of adults now financially included — nearly 94% of business payments remain undigitised. Swypex aims to close that gap by delivering fintech solutions tailored to Egypt's business environment, while adhering to global product standards. 'Egyptian businesses want control without friction, and this card gives them exactly that,' said Ahmad Mokhtar, Co-Founder and CEO of Swypex. 'Approval-Based Limit Cards bring a new standard of precision and agility to business finance. It's the bridge between old-world cash management and seamless, secure corporate spending.' The new card is one of several features available through Swypex Premium, which also includes unlimited cashback, flexible spend controls, and custom approval workflows. The broader Swypex platform integrates payments, invoicing, corporate cards, and financial operations into a single interface. Swypex is licensed by the Central Bank of Egypt and backed by a $4 million seed round led by Accel — the venture capital firm's first fintech investment in the MENA region. The company positions its platform as an end-to-end financial stack for businesses looking to modernise their operations, with onboarding that takes just three minutes.
