- The Spanish company, FacePhi, specialized in biometric solutions for identity verification, has developed an algorithm capable of recognizing with more than 99% reliability the partially covered face of a person. This technology has been designed to be activated voluntarily and with the prior authorization of the user, facilitating secure access to data and activities by using his/her face as a key, even wearing face masks.
An evolution in facial authentification about to revolutionize health and safety regulations in many sectors like education, public health, state administration et al.
- The technology at the heart of the most powerful Italian sports car of all time has been presented to the world for the first time on 07 August 2020, by Automobili Pininfarina Chief Product and Engineering Officer Paolo Dellacha.

Future Cities: NEOM a beacon for the future of urban living, selected Bechtel to oversee and create resource-efficient utilities and a highly advanced transport system to connect NEOM’s cognitive cities. Integrating sustainable land use, intelligent urban design and multi-modal mobility, NEOM will deliver a community of exceptional liveability. Work will include simultaneous construction in multiple locations requiring extraordinary engineering solutions in challenging terrain.
NEOM’s next generation cities will support its cutting-edge urban environments, improving the lives of residents and businesses far beyond the capabilities of today’s smart cities. NEOM’s infrastructure will utilize AI, robotics, and human-machine fusion to deliver greater predictive intelligence and enable faster decision making across all NEOM sectors. It is a region in northwest Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea being built from the ground up as a living laboratory – a place where entrepreneurship will chart the course for the future. It will include hyperconnected, cognitive towns, ports and enterprise zones, research centers, sports and entertainment venues, and also act as a tourist destination. A hub for innovation, where entrepreneurs, business leaders and companies will come to research, incubate and commercialize new technologies and enterprises in ground-breaking ways about to reform urban landscape and social blueprint.
