Our April 2024 issue is here, with Bundeep Singh Rangar co-founder of Glass Ventures and founder of PremFina and Fineqia, on the cover. While much of the general public might still be struggling to get a grasp of the concept of Web 3.0, Rangar -a serial entrepreneur, investor, dealmaker, and philanthropist- is choosing to go one step further- he is all set to be one of the main drivers and beneficiaries of the development of the next generation of this technology, i.e. Web 4.0. “Web 3.0 emphasized the decentralized web, where blockchain technology and decentralized protocols played a central role, emphasizing increased security, privacy, and user control,” he explains. “Web 4.0, on the other hand, advances this set-up via artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and seamless human-computer interactions.” Also in this issue: Etro CEO Fabrizio Cardinali, who offers a peek into how he’s revitalizing the iconic Italian luxury fashion house. Plus, we take a look at the launch of Nysaa Middle East, a joint venture between Apparel Group and Nykaa with insights shared by Selina Ved, Falguni Nayar, and Sima Ganwani Ved. We also look into how Lyvely co-founder and CEO Farah Zafar is all set to shake things up in the realm of tech and Web3. We also hear from Mohamed Alzaabi, who has created a one-stop-shop for pet care services in the UAE with PetRepublic. In our monthly roundup of the up-and-coming startups in the Dubai-based Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund accelerator program, we profile ARLAN BIOTECH and TranspRight.com. We also speak with VAP Group founder Vishal Parmar, who explains how his firm’s propensity to stay atop tech trends has led to the launch of the Global AI Show and Global Blockchain Show. Plus, we check out the recent fundraising successes seen by Clusterlab, MANTRA, and Brkz. Also included in this issue are highlights of the E-Business Awards 2024.

✨Day 2 at Future Blockchain Summit GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World was filled with heated discussions - the way we like them! Ha - about whether the world needs more #protocols. From my perspective: 👾As a #user, yes! The existing ones are far from perfect, and I'm still searching for "THE one." 👾 As a #democratizer, yes! Especially in the case of #DeFi #derivatives protocols, which serve as a bridge from traditional #finance to #digital #assets. 👾As a #VC, it's a mixed bag. Investing in protocols may not be the most intuitive choice, but it's a bet on users and more #capital flowing into protocols can foster #competition and drive #innovation until building “THE one”. 🦾 In the realm of protocols, and their mercenary world, challenges persist and will continue to include #scalability, #interoperability, #security, and the #fragmentation of financial and human capital across various projects, not to mention users’ confusion in a crowded market. I'm grateful for my co-panelists, Talal Tabbaa Melanie Mohr Ahmed Al-Balaghi 柏亚德 Sheraz Ahmed And for David Chreng-Messembourg for participating in my internal debate pre panel! ✨Loved also the fact that my brother Michael Amar and I spoke on the same stage one after the other. Looking forward to share a direct panel with my crypto blood bro next time ! ✨I had as well engaging discussions with Web3TV about the #symbiotic #web (or #Web4) and with Entrepreneur Middle East about the journey of leaving literally EVERYTHING behind to become an #entrepreneur. Once you take that step, there's no turning back! >>> Stay tuned for more exciting discussions. Coming up soon! (Today actually 🤓) The international & Dubai's thriving Web3 community is still going strong! 🙌🏻 Glass Ventures Fineqia Luna PR #dubai #unitedarabemirates #middleeast #web3 #web4.0 #digitalassets #deeptech #ai
