↑ 37%DP World Foundation and Expo City Dubai Foundation join forces to scale high-impact Innovations across Africa. June 26, 2026 by [email protected] DP World Foundation and Expo City Dubai Foundation have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the growth of innovative social enterprises tackling some of the world's most pressing development challenges, with initiatives that have already positively impacted more than 100,000 children and young people. The partnership combines DP World Foundation's commitment to creating sustainable community impact with Expo City Dubai Foundation's Global Innovators Programme, supporting entrepreneurs whose solutions drive measurable social, economic and environmental progress. The collaboration launched with support for two Africa-based ventures - Le Lionceau in Senegal and Smartcore in Tanzania - selected from the seventh cohort of the programme in recognition of their transformative work in education, skills development and youth empowerment. In Senegal, the partnership has supported more than 55,000 children to date through the distribution of Le Lionceau's nutritious baby food, made from underutilised African crops sourced from smallholder farmers across the Sahel region. A targeted initiative within this collaboration saw DP World Foundation facilitate the distribution of 10,000 sachets of fortified infant flour - providing the equivalent of approximately 40,000 nutrient-dense meals - specifically to children across highly vulnerable communities, including those in hospitals and orphanages. In Tanzania, edtech firm Smartcore is expanding access to quality education through its digital platform, Kisomo. With the Foundations' support, the platform has reached more than 59,000 children to date across both in-school learners as well as out-of-school children - 60 per cent of whom are female. Over 130 schools have been onboarded and 42 marginalised schools equipped with offline platform access to ensure equitable education access in regions with limited internet connectivity. Building on this success, DP World Foundation will also support another two entrepreneurs from the latest cohort of Expo City Dubai Foundation's Global Innovators Programme, which is designed to scale solutions tackling extreme heat. Fuselage Innovations, an Indian enterprise harnessing advanced agricultural drone solutions for precise heat-stress detection and protection of crops, and Moon Innovations from Nigeria, producers of modular solar-energy systems to secure food, health and livelihoods in climate-vulnerable regions, will receive funding of up to USD 100,000, alongside technical guidance, visibility and access to networking opportunities. Latifa Al Qemzi, Director General, DP World Foundation, said: "Partnerships like this demonstrate how purposeful collaboration can unlock scalable solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. At DP World Foundation, Inside Business Africa is committed to supporting initiatives that deliver tangible, long-term impact - from strengthening food security to expanding access to quality education. By working with Expo City Dubai Foundation and empowering innovative entrepreneurs, Inside Business Africa is not only addressing immediate community needs, but also investing in resilient, inclusive systems that enable future generations to thrive. "As a global trade and logistics leader, we recognise the critical role connectivity plays in enabling impact at scale, and we will continue to leverage our network to support the sustainable growth of such initiatives." Yousuf Caires, Executive Director, Expo City Dubai Foundation, said: "Collaboration and innovation to drive progress is at the core of everything we do at Expo City Dubai, and we are thrilled to have DP World Foundation on board as a partner. Their support has been invaluable in advancing projects to date, and we are delighted that our partnership is continuing to support even more initiatives tackling critical issues through our latest Global Innovator Programme cohort. We look forward to working together to contribute to a more sustainable future for all." The partnership builds on the long-standing collaboration between the two organisations forged during Expo 2020 Dubai and reflects a shared focus on scaling innovation-led development. It also comes as DP World strengthens its footprint at Expo City, where its new global headquarters is set for completion in 2027. Both organisations will continue exploring similar initiatives in new markets, further amplifying their impact.
Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots France - empowering youth leadership across France through the Prix Jeunesse. At Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, Roots & Shoots believe that creating a better world for people, animals, and the environment requires more than passion - it requires action, opportunity, and strong partnerships. That's why Roots & Shoots is proud of its ongoing collaboration with DP World, whose support has made it possible for Jane Goodall Institute France to significantly expand its Prix Jeunesse programme - empowering young people to lead change across France. Expanding youth action nationwide. DP World's contribution has allowed Roots & Shoots France to invest in grassroots projects that respond directly to community needs. Roots & Shoots France set ambitious goals - and achieved them. The programme expanded well beyond its previous scale, reaching projects in 12 of France's 13 regions, including rural, peri urban, and underrepresented communities. As a result: * 256 student led projects applied for the Prix Jeunesse (up from 60 the previous year) * 6,338 young people and community members were directly impacted * 24 educators and mentors supported youth led initiatives nationwide This growth was made possible through the recruitment of a dedicated project coordinator, funded through the grant, ensuring consistent follow up, inclusive outreach, and on site engagement with student groups across the country. Spotlight on a Prix Jeunesse laureate: Les Paniers de Paul. One of the most inspiring projects supported through the Prix Jeunesse is Les Paniers de Paul, a student led initiative based in Montpellier that addresses food justice, sustainability, and local resilience. Since the start of the academic year, Les Paniers de Paul has been providing discounted organic fruit and vegetable boxes to students at the University of Montpellier Paul Valéry. The produce is sourced from an agroecological farm located just two kilometres from campus, supporting both student wellbeing and local farmers. Each box is purchased from the producer for €12 and sold to students for €3, with the difference covered through public funding and partnerships. During the 2025-2026 academic year, the project: * Reached 850 students * Distributed 2,000 veggie boxes per year * Mobilised 200 student volunteers * Invested €30,000 directly in local food production, with most funding reinvested within the territory Through Roots & Shoots mentoring - enabled by DP World's support - the project received expert guidance to strengthen its long term sustainability. The team is now working towards evolving the initiative into a cooperative model, bringing together students, producers, institutions, and solidarity based organisations. Building skills, community, and long term impact. Beyond individual projects, the Prix Jeunesse programme created lasting change across the Roots & Shoots France network: * 256 Roots & Shoots Academy projects were supported * 30 hours of expert mentorship were delivered * 9,055 trees were planted across France by youth groups * Participation in other Roots & Shoots initiatives increased by up to 90%, including public speaking and leadership programmes The programme also strengthened inclusion, reaching students in smaller cities, rural schools, and marginalised settings - including presentations of Dr. Jane Goodall's message within the prison system. By combining leadership development, mentorship, and meaningful funding, the Prix Jeunesse demonstrates how youth led initiatives can turn hope into action - at scale. Together, Roots & Shoots and DP World are empowering young people across France to lead change - for people, animals, and the planet. Beyond its direct partnership, DP World is making a global impact through their global education platform, which invites users everywhere to: * Explore innovation in trade and sustainability through exciting lessons and free resources. * Take on challenges and quizzes, dive into videos and VR experiences. * Access a variety of resources and e-learning courses for educators, students, and changemakers alike. Check out its new Roots & Shoots classroom resource created with the support of DP World that helps young people explore how everyday products connect to biodiversity and sustainability. Designed for primary school learners, it makes global supply chains easy (and fun!) to understand.
South asian maritime infrastructure receives multi-billion dollar boost from global investors. June 24, 2026 As global supply chains continue to undergo strategic realignments, South Asia is emerging as a primary destination for high-value maritime and logistics infrastructure. Recent foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments from both private logistics leaders and state-backed development agencies underscore the region's growing importance in international trade corridors. According to JOC.com, Dubai-based DP World has finalized plans to invest $3 billion over the next several years to develop new container terminals, economic zones, and cold chain logistics hubs across India. This massive capital injection is particularly focused on the coastal states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Reports from Reuters and Lloyd's List indicate that this FDI initiative is designed to enhance India's export competitiveness and better integrate its domestic supply chains with global markets. Simultaneously, strategic maritime investments are expanding in neighboring Sri Lanka. The Associated Press reports that the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has disbursed the next major funding tranche of its $553 million investment in the Colombo West International Terminal. Developed in partnership with India's Adani Group, this deepwater terminal project represents a strategic FDI initiative. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, the project aims to significantly boost Sri Lanka's shipping capacity while offering a viable alternative to Chinese-financed infrastructure in the region. From a trade policy perspective, the influx of capital into Indian and Sri Lankan maritime assets reflects a shifting geopolitical landscape where infrastructure development is closely tied to economic security. The US DFC's involvement in Colombo highlights how Western democratic nations are utilizing development finance to counter regional influence, while DP World's expansion in Gujarat and Maharashtra aligns with India's domestic push to modernize its logistics framework. For global logistics managers, these investments promise improved port efficiency, reduced bottlenecks, and enhanced cold chain capabilities, which are vital for agricultural and pharmaceutical exports. #MaritimeTrade #FDI #Logistics #SouthAsia #Infrastructure The International Trade Council is a global, peak-body, chamber of commerce that supports businesses and governments by providing resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities to promote international trade and foreign direct investment.

UK secures £63 billion in investment commitments while Canada tightens digital media screening. June 19, 2026 Governments worldwide are adopting distinct strategies to manage foreign capital, with some actively courting massive private investments while others implement stricter oversight on sensitive sectors. According to reports from Reuters, the Financial Times, and Bloomberg, the United Kingdom government secured £63 billion ($82 billion) in private investment commitments during its International Investment Summit on June 16, 2026. Prime Minister Keir Starmer pitched the UK as a stable partner for global capital, aiming to boost productivity and fund public services without increasing public debt. Among the key commitments secured at the summit is a £1 billion expansion of the London Gateway port by DP World, alongside a £20 billion infrastructure commitment from Macquarie. These inflows are expected to play a critical role in modernizing the UK's infrastructure and supporting long-term economic growth. The successful summit highlights the UK's efforts to position itself as an attractive destination for large-scale, long-term private capital in a highly competitive global market. Meanwhile, Canada is tightening its oversight of foreign capital in digital industries. According to reports from Reuters, Bloomberg, and The Globe and Mail, the Canadian government announced stricter national security reviews on June 17, 2026, for foreign investments in the interactive digital media sector. Under the new guidelines, investments by foreign state-owned or state-influenced enterprises in video games, virtual reality, and digital publishing will face intense scrutiny under the Investment Canada Act. Ottawa cited risks of foreign state-sponsored influence campaigns and intellectual property theft as the primary drivers behind the policy change. This move reflects a broader global trend where governments are increasingly viewing digital media and cultural sectors through a national security lens. For international investors, these developments demonstrate that while physical infrastructure projects continue to receive strong government backing in some regions, investments in digital assets and cultural platforms are facing heightened regulatory scrutiny and geopolitical risk management. #UKInvestment #CanadaTrade #DigitalMedia #Infrastructure #ForeignInvestment The International Trade Council is a global, peak-body, chamber of commerce that supports businesses and governments by providing resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities to promote international trade and foreign direct investment.

DP World expands low carbon truck programme with new electric HGV trial. DP World is expanding its pioneering Low Carbon Truck Programme (LCTP) in the UK with a new initiative that offers its members the opportunity to trial electric HGVs through a dedicated rental initiative at Southampton port. The second phase of DP World's Low Carbon Truck Programme, known as the Electric Vehicle Introduction and Transition Accelerator (EVITA) trial, builds on a successful pilot launched in January in partnership with the University of Cambridge's Centre for Sustainable Road Freight and Project JOLT. Beginning in July and running until 2029, the programme enables hauliers to use electric HGVs with costs aligned to diesel vehicles, for a period of 12-weeks in real-world operating conditions. There are now more than 1,500 trucks registered to the Low Carbon Truck Programme, supporting more than 60 UK hauliers. The EVITA trial will help members understand how electric HGVs perform across their own routes and supply chains in comparison to traditional diesel trucks. Several hauliers have already received their new electric HGVs as part of the latest initiative, including Williams Shipping and ATL Haulage. The vehicles are fitted with tracking systems that allow participating customers to analyse their performance, efficiency and environmental impact. Initially, electric HGVs from Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and MAN will be available, increasing to four vehicles from October. Delivered in partnership with Hireco, the programme is expected to provide up to 100 trial opportunities for hauliers over its three-year duration. John Trenchard, Vice President, Sustainable Supply Chains - Europe, at DP World, said: "More than 80% of UK freight is transported by road, so decarbonisation initiatives that empower hauliers to take action on their own supply chains are key for the UK energy transition. With the EVITA trial, DP World is demonstrating its commitment to enabling the industry to adopt more sustainable methods of moving goods through a practical and commercially attractive pathway. "DP World see its future growth in the net zero economy, so over the next three years, we're aiming to provide around 100 trial opportunities for hauliers on the programme, giving them early access to the real-world experiences of managing their operations with electric trucks." Drew Roberts, Managing Director, ATL Haulage, said: "A month in with the MAN electric HGV and we're doing exactly what EVITA was designed for - testing, learning and adapting. Integrating the new vehicle into our daily container moves from DP World Southampton has highlighted the operational differences between EV and ICE management in ways you can only understand by doing it. Driver feedback has been positive so far and the questions the trial is raising are the right ones. We came into this to de-risk the unknown and that's exactly what's happening." The first phase of the EVITA trial was launched in January, providing select hauliers with four electric HGVs at cost-parity to diesel trucks. The participating hauliers were given access to DP World's twin 360kWh electric HGV charging stations at the newly opened driver welfare facility at Southampton, allowing the vehicles to be charged simultaneously. Drivers also receive a free cup of coffee with each vehicle recharge at the Southampton facility. DP World is exhibiting at Multimodal on stand 5070
