GISEC Global to Launch Cyber Diplomacy Forum in 2026 as Cybersecurity Moves Centre-Stage in Global Trade and Foreign Policy

Published

on

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 4th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, GISEC Global, the Middle East and Africa’s largest and most influential cybersecurity event, has announced the launch of the Cyber Diplomacy Forum, a new high-level platform debuting at GISEC Global 2026, reflecting the growing role of cybersecurity in foreign policy, international trade and national security decision-making.

The announcement follows an invitation-only Cyber Envoys’ Breakfast Briefing held in Abu Dhabi on 29 January, which convened more than 140 diplomats, including 32 ambassadors, trade attachés and senior representatives from international missions and business councils based in the UAE, such as Ambassador of India Deepak Mittal, European Union Ambassador Lucie Berger, and Egypt’s Ambassador, Essam Ashour. The closed-door briefing offered diplomatic stakeholders an early look at the Forum’s scope and objectives, ahead of its formal debut in 2026.

Developed in collaboration with the UAE Cybersecurity Council and powered by DAAKYI, the Cyber Diplomacy Forum is designed as a dedicated platform for governments, multilateral institutions and the private sector to address the increasingly cross-border nature of cyber risk. As cyber incidents continue to disrupt global supply chains, financial systems and critical infrastructure, the Forum positions cybersecurity as a strategic enabler of economic stability, trade confidence and international cooperation.

New for 2026, GISEC Global will also introduce the International Cyber Zone, bringing together more than 20 country pavilions – including Australia, Singapore, and South Korea – to showcase national cybersecurity capabilities, policy priorities and cross-border collaboration opportunities. The new zone reinforces the event’s role as a convening platform for government-led engagement, enabling countries to align policy, trade and innovation agendas within the global cybersecurity ecosystem.

At GISEC Global 2026, the Cyber Diplomacy Forum will focus on the intersection of cybersecurity and diplomacy, including the role of cyber policy in trade relations, public-private coordination on cross-border threats, and the development of shared approaches to cyber resilience in an increasingly fragmented digital landscape. The Forum will also see strong participation from Africa, with a delegation of government officials, ministers and cybersecurity companies from more than 12 African countries expected to attend. The delegation will be led by DAAKYI Secure Africa, headquartered in Ghana, reflecting the growing role of African governments in shaping global cyber policy and digital resilience frameworks.

The launch of the Cyber Diplomacy Forum reinforces GISEC Global’s evolving role as a global convening platform, bridging technology, policy, diplomacy, and international trade. By embedding cyber diplomacy into its 2026 programme, GISEC Global aims to facilitate sustained dialogue between governments and the private sector, supporting secure digital transformation worldwide.

Speaking on the announcement, Alex Nicholl, Vice President of New Industries at Dubai World Trade Centre, which organises GISEC Global, said: “Cybersecurity has moved beyond the IT

department and into the heart of diplomacy, trade and national security. The Cyber Diplomacy Forum reflects a clear shift in how governments are engaging with cyber risk – not as a technical issue, but as a strategic and economic one that requires coordinated international dialogue.”

The launch reinforces GISEC Global’s evolving role as a convening platform for policy, business and technology leaders, bringing diplomatic voices into structured dialogue with industry, investors and innovators. It also underscores the UAE’s positioning as a neutral hub for international engagement on emerging global challenges.

GISEC Global 2026 will take place from 5–7 May 2026 at Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City Dubai, bringing together policymakers, CISOs, technology leaders, startups and investors from over 160 countries.

Global Publicist 24 Magazine Names Pharmacist and Entrepreneur Abadir Nasr as Cover Leader of Its 2026 “Most Influential Leader Shaping the Future of Business” Edition

Published

on

Global Publicist 24 Magazine, an international business publication that profiles influential leaders and high-impact entrepreneurs, has released its special 2026 edition, “The Most Influential Leader Shaping the Future of Business,” with pharmacist and healthcare entrepreneur Abadir Nasr featured on the cover.

The edition recognises leaders whose vision and execution are reshaping their industries, and Nasr was selected as the cover personality for his work building a community-focused pharmacy model centred on trust, accessibility, and patient care.

Nasr is the pharmacist and owner of Arvazy Pharma and Whitfield’s Guardian Pharmacy. Combining clinical training with hands-on business leadership, he has developed both pharmacies into local healthcare destinations known for personalised service and patient advocacy rather than transactional dispensing.

“Healthcare does not end at the counter when you hand someone their medication,” said Nasr in the cover feature. “It starts with understanding the person in front of you, and that relationship is what keeps a community healthy.”

Across both businesses, Nasr has applied a consistent philosophy: that meaningful patient relationships and sound commercial decisions can grow together. The cover feature traces his entrepreneurial path, the operational challenges he worked through, and his outlook on where pharmacy and community healthcare are heading.

Commenting on the selection, Sagar Kasar, Editorial Lead at Global Publicist 24, said: “Abadir represents the kind of leadership this edition was built to highlight. He has grown a healthcare business while keeping patient trust at the centre of every decision, and that balance is genuinely difficult to achieve.”

The 2026 edition also features leaders from a range of industries whose work in innovation, growth, and customer-focused strategy offers practical lessons for founders and executives navigating a fast-changing economy.

The new edition of Global Publicist 24 Magazine is available now to readers worldwide.

Dataline Launches Data Launch Partner Program to Power the Next Generation of AI Trading and Onchain Agents

Published

on

British Virgin Islands, BVI, June 2026, ZEX PR WIREDataline, the data infrastructure layer for AI agents operating across crypto and financial markets, recently announced the launch of its Data Launch Partner Program, opening access to an initial cohort of AI systems, trading agents, and data providers building on its unified intelligence layer.  

  

As AI agents increasingly move from chat-based interfaces to autonomous decision-making systems, the need for structured, cross-market, and verifiable financial data has become a foundational bottleneck. Dataline closes this gap by unifying distributed market data into a schema-based layer, with each response carrying an AI-generated confidence score so the agent can judge for itself whether to act on it.  

A Unified Data Layer for Agent Economies

Dataline connects real-time data across major centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, and prediction markets, including Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Hyperliquid, dYdX, Polymarket, and Kalshi, into a single structured response format.  

Each query is processed through a cross-venue normalisation system that aggregates pricing, funding rates, liquidity conditions, and event-based signals into confidence-scored outputs with source-level traceability and freshness indicators. 

This allows AI agents to operate on consistent, verified inputs rather than fragmented or venue-specific APIs.  

From Data Access to Decision Infrastructure

The evolution of AI agents has shifted the industry focus away from blind execution and toward interpretation.  

Dataline’s system is designed to solve this by providing the following:  

  • Cross-venue data normalization across trading and prediction markets

  • Confidence-scored outputs with divergence detection between sources

  • Structured responses optimized for planner–executor–verifier agent loops

  • Real-time aggregation of market signals and event data

Already Powering Live Agent Systems

Dataline is already deployed in production environments, supporting over 19.4 million on-chain transactions across the Base, BNB Chain, Sui, and the TON ecosystem.  

Agent systems built on top of Dataline — including ChatPilot, GhostDriver, and FlowAgent — are actively using its structured data layer for live trading, signal processing, and autonomous execution workflows.

Launch Partners Across AI and Execution Layers

The initial Data Launch cohort includes partnerships with AI agent frameworks and execution infrastructure providers such as Sentient, Kite AI, B3, Fraction AI, and Sahara AI.  

These integrations reflect a growing ecosystem where AI agents not only interpret financial data but also execute transactions across programmable settlement layers in real time.  

Exclusive Offer for Base Builders

To support the growing community of builders on Base, Dataline is offering six months of free data feeds to qualifying Base projects. Teams building on Base can claim the offer by reaching out to @datalineai on X and introducing their project.  

Accelerating the Shift Toward Agent-Native Financial Infrastructure

As AI systems become embedded in financial decision-making, industry infrastructure is shifting from API-centric models toward schema-based intelligence layers capable of unifying siloed markets.  

As part of this transition, Dataline enables agents to operate across fragmented environments through a unified execution layer, without requiring venue-specific logic or manual reconciliation.  

Become a Dataline Launch Partner

Dataline is expanding its Data Launch Partner cohort. Projects interested in integrating Dataline’s data layer or joining the program can reach out to @datalineai on X to start the conversation.
