Another exceptional year at Davos! It’s always an incredible experience to witness history in the making. This year’s discussions were especially significant, with the inauguration of President Trump sparking conversations on geopolitics in our region, the evolving landscape of crypto, and the accelerating rise of artificial intelligence. Beyond the invaluable learning opportunities, Davos was also a moment to reflect, strategize, and plan our next big moves for MNT-Halan. The future holds significant opportunities, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

Deemah AlYahya, Secretary-General of the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO); Theodore Krantz Jr., CEO of Interos; and Miishe Addy-Asare Addy, Co-Founder & CEO of Jetstream Africa.
