This achievement is pivotal in Dubai’s ambitious goal to become one of the top four global financial centres by 2033, in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which aims to solidify the emirate’s status as a global financial, investment and innovation hub.

Dubai’s performance is the highest ranking ever achieved by a financial centre in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), as it remains the only centre from the region to feature in the top 20, underscoring its regional leadership and global competitiveness.

The Emirate’s financial ecosystem is anchored by the continued expansion and global impact of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which continues to cement its position as a comprehensive financial hub.

The ranking positions Dubai alongside financial hubs including London, New York City and Singapore. Dubai remained one of ten cities in the world to be a global industry leader and ranked the number one financial centre expected to become more significant.

HE Essa Kazim, Governor of DIFC, commented: “Dubai’s remarkable progress in the Global Financial Centres Index is an outstanding milestone that highlights the Emirate’s ambitious vision and expanding influence on the international financial stage. Anchored by DIFC’s world-class infrastructure and forward-looking regulatory environment, we continue to strengthen Dubai’s position as the region’s leading global financial hub, attracting top-tier financial institutions, innovators and talent.”

In recent years, DIFC has experienced record-breaking growth, hosting over 9,000 active companies, including the world’s largest banks, asset managers, hedge funds, insurers, professional services firms, and a workforce of over 50,000.

For the first time, industry respondents ranked Dubai in the top 15 across all evaluated sectors, and as the region’s only city to feature anywhere in this prestigious cluster. Banking is ranked 14th, Finance, Investment Management and Insurance are in the top 10, and FinTech, Government & Regulatory, Professional Services and Trading advanced into the top 5. Dubai is also recognised as the region’s only financial centre among the top ten cities globally competitive for Business Environment, Financial Sector Development, Human Capital and Infrastructure.

With 28 R&D centers across 12 countries and over 2,000 R&D employees, the company turns deep tech into tangible features that anticipate how people want to live

ISTANBUL, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beko, a leading home appliances company, is accelerating its technology leadership by harnessing a global research and development ecosystem designed to turn emerging science into sustainable, smart and digitally secure home solution, from AI-powered refrigerators to advanced technologies that preserve the vitamins in fresh food for longer, and much more.

By positioning R&D among the fundamental engines of its growth, Beko is able to bridge the gap between deep-tech exploration and the tangible features that anticipate how people want to live. Beko’s R&D capabilities find their strength in a unified global network of 28 R&D centers across 12 countries, creating a collaborative nucleus that stretches from its core in Türkiye – where 13 centers are located – to key European hubs in Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Romania. This distributed yet tightly connected model allows engineering and design teams to work as one, so ideas can move quickly from early research to built–in product solutions that are interoperable by design and create real value in everyday life, with Italy’s Cassinetta and Fabriano hubs playing a pivotal role in driving design and built–in innovation at the heart of Europe’s home appliances ecosystem.

The efficacy of Beko’s R&D infrastructure is validated by more than 4,500 international patent applications and over one million annual tests conducted to provide peak reliability and performance. To further accelerate this development, Beko has integrated AI and digital technologies into its core processes. By applying machine learning to materials research to predict structural performance and leveraging generative AI for faster software design and development, the company ensures that its technical foundation remains as agile as the evolving consumer needs it aims to meet.

From lab to kitchen: Innovation in Action

The ultimate proof of concept for Beko’s R&D investment and global infrastructure is found in the products themselves, which serve as the direct outcome of Beko’s scientific rigor. These innovations are exemplified by technologies such as HarvestFresh, which uses a unique three-color light system to mimic the natural 24-hour sun cycle and preserve vitamins in fresh produce1, and Beko’s AI-Sense and HomeWhiz enabled appliances. These systems serve as a tangible demonstration of the R&D network’s capabilities, using artificial intelligence to learn household usage patterns, optimize refrigerator performance, and track energy consumption. Through this unified approach, Beko ensures that every investment in its more than 2,000 R&D employees, together with its global centers, results in meaningful products that remain at the forefront of modern home living.

Reflecting on this roadmap-driven approach, Nihat Bayız, Chief Production and Technology Officer at Beko stated: “Our ambition is to be a company that doesn’t just adopt technology but develops it and brings it to homes around the world. By carefully balancing our short-, mid- and long–term innovation horizons, we can turn deep R&D insight into scalable solutions that stay ahead of evolving consumer needs. Whether it is AI learning how a family uses their fridge to save energy, or light that helps preserve vitamins in fresh food, our teams are focused on transforming investment into innovation that genuinely improves everyday life.”

Peijia Medical Announces 2025 Annual Results

SUZHOU, China, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Peijia Medical (9996.HK), a leading Chinese domestic company in the high-growth transcatheter valve therapeutics and neurovascular interventions markets, announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025 on March 25, 2026.

During the year, the Group delivered steady revenue growth and continued improvement in operating efficiency, while advancing multiple key pipeline programs. Against a dynamic industry backdrop, the Group’s core business demonstrated increasingly resilience. The Neurointerventional Business emerged as a stronger earnings contributor, while the Transcatheter Valve Therapeutic Business continued to expand its platform, enhance commercialization capabilities and improve its profitability profile.

Steady Growth with Improving Profitability Profile

While maintaining a relatively stable gross margin, the Group continued to strengthen cost discipline and improve operating efficiency, supported by scale expansion and more focused resource allocation. Excluding the losses attributable to the entities comprising the Future Technology Business [1], the Group’s adjusted loss for the year narrowed by 44.1% year on year to RMB110.5 million, reflecting a clear trend of improving underlying profitability.

Neurointerventional Business: Profit Contribution Accelerates and Globalization Begins

The Neurointerventional Business continued to deliver strong earnings growth during the year. Segment profit increased by 86.6% year on year to RMB97.2 million, while segment profit margin improved to 23.0%. The significant profit expansion was driven by continued revenue growth, disciplined cost management and improved operating efficiency, indicating that operating leverage is increasingly being realized as the business scales.

The segment also achieved a key milestone in its globalization strategy. In March 2026, DCwire® received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, marking the Group’s first regulatory approval in the United States. This milestone validates the competitiveness of the Group’s products and establishes a foundation for further expansion into global markets.

TAVR Business: Leadership Reinforced with Expansion into New Indications

The Group maintained its leading position in China’s TAVR market and continued to expand its commercialization footprint. During the year, revenue from TAVR-related products increased by 11.6% year on year to RMB290.1 million. Total implant volume reached approximately 3,900 units, up 14.4% year on year, while the Group’s products were adopted by more than 780 hospitals, including approximately 130 newly added hospitals during the year.

The Group’s Taurus product family continued to gain strong clinical recognition in the treatment of aortic stenosis, supported by a comprehensive portfolio spanning core and premium offerings. At the same time, the approval of TaurusTrio® (the Group’s localized product licensed from the JenaValve TrilogyTM THV System for Greater China) in December 2025 for the treatment of symptomatic, severe aortic regurgitation marked a major strategic milestone. This approval expands the Group’s valve platform from a single-indication focus to a broader multi-indication platform, opening new growth opportunities and strengthening its long-term competitive positioning.

Pipeline Momentum and Multiple Near-Term Catalysts

The Group continued to make steady progress across its pipeline, supporting the next phase of growth. In China, registration applications were submitted for TaurusNXT®, the Group’s next-generation durability-enhanced TAVR product, and GeminiOne®, its transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system.
