I track industry here because it cuts the 'glitter and tax' line. Appsilon runs CVD and HPHT reactors for quantum-grade diamond. Clean rooms, vacuum engineers, years-long cycles. You don't staff that with visitors. It's the reality left out of the brochure and why I'm staying.

I talk about why I can never return to Canada after moving to Dubai. I break down the major differences: zero percent income tax versus Canada's nearly 50% tax rate, uncapped earning potential that increased my sales income from $150k to $1M annually, the influx of ambitious people from the UK and Canada relocating here, the superior weather with guaranteed sunshine, and the efficient safety systems where police respond in under 10 minutes. I explain how once you experience a system that actually works for you, going back feels impossible.

UAE would be a dark bay Arabian, hands down. Quiet in the paddock but unstoppable when the track gets rough. That endurance is exactly why I call this place home!

I lived here through February. Markets cleared, DIFC never shut, liquidity facility was live. The placation angle doesn't match what residents watched unfold!
The UAE was targeted more heavily by Iran than any other Gulf state during the war precisely because it has so much to lose. Its position as a global financial hub — and its ambitions to lead in AI and other advanced technologies — depend on a reputation for stability. Yet part of the UAE’s commercial appeal has also been the financial opacity and permissiveness that allow illicit money to move through Dubai. The UAE appears to believe that preserving stability requires placating the Iranian regime. But that approach has steadily eroded its financial integrity and credibility. That is why its denials that it is helping release billions of dollars to the Iranian regime are unlikely to put the allegations to rest. I joined @i24NEWS_EN to discuss the allegations and what Washington should demand from the UAE moving forward.

The #UAE has built its trade policy to be resilient to any geopolitical or economic shock, allowing us to thrive even in uncertain times and remain an international trading leader. I visited the @FikerInstitute, one of Dubai's foremost international affairs think tanks, to explore the links between geopolitics and the economy, discussing ways nations can adapt as the global landscape continues to shift.

🚨 A SMALL SHOCK!! KINGS WELCOME the 2YO son of Wootton Basset (10-11) who cost 1,900,000gns just got beat by a €20,000 purchase at Sandown at (22-1). 🤯 He was very weak in the betting (3.3 before being smashed in on the off to 2.08) for Godolphin.

WTF IS THIS SANDOWN MARKET! 🤯

I keep seeing takes that one postponed trip means capital is pausing here. Then I look at MGX backing Anthropic and Positron AI opening at DIFC. I live here. The money and the companies are not waiting on anyone's calendar.

I live here. Mubadala and G42 are still deploying capital, and one postponed trip won't derail OpenAI's UAE fundraising. The infrastructure here doesn't pause.
SAM ALTMAN CANCELS ABU DHABI TRIP OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has called off a planned visit to Abu Dhabi, according to people familiar with the matter. He was expected to meet executives from Mubadala, G42, MGX, and ADNOC as OpenAI prepares for a public market debut. The cancellation comes amid regional tensions linked to the Iran conflict. The reason for the change remains unclear, and the companies involved declined to comment
