( MENAFN - APCO Worldwide) Riyadh, 8 December 2024 – The Riyadh Metro, the world’s largest single-phase metro project and longest driverless metro system, officially commenced operations on December 1, marking a historic milestone for Saudi Arabia’s urban transformation under Vision 2030. At the heart of this achievement is ACES, a leading Saudi telecom infrastructure provider and a portfolio company of ewpartners, a global leader in cross-border investments. ACES delivered advanced telecom solutions, including neutral host infrastructure, Wi-Fi networks, and digital displays, enabling seamless connectivity and an enhanced commuter experience. Dr. Akram Aburas, CEO of ACES, highlighted the company’s role at the metro’s inauguration: "Guided by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, ACES is proud to have been an ICT partner in transformative projects like the Riyadh Metro. These accomplishments underscore our leadership in advanced telecom and digital infrastructure and reflect our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence." According to the Riyadh Royal Commission (RCRC), the Riyadh Metro spans 176 kilometers, includes 85 stations, and is fully powered by renewable energy. Designed to transport up to 3.6 million passengers daily, the system is set to reduce traffic congestion by 30%, stimulate investment, and generate thousands of jobs, aligning with Vision 2030’s goals of economic diversification and reduced oil dependency. This project is more than a transportation milestone—it’s a step toward building smarter, more connected cities, improving the quality of life, and positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in infrastructure innovation. Driving Innovation and Connectivity Beyond the Riyadh Metro, ACES is advancing Saudi Arabia’s digital and telecom infrastructure through its key national projects, including the Grand Mosque in Mecca and Riyadh and Jeddah International Airports. Recognized by the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) as one of the fastest-growing companies in Saudi Arabia, ACES is at the forefront of innovation. The company is expanding its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network, targeting 23,000 homes in Riyadh by the end of 2024, and plans to launch Open Access Fiber-to-the-Business (FTTB) services by 2025. With its focus on IoT and data center infrastructure, ACES aims to become a comprehensive digital infrastructure provider, aligning with Vision 2030’s aspirations to position Saudi Arabia as a global technology leader. Global Expansion with ewpartners’ Support As the first Saudi local company to receive investment from ewpartners, ACES has expanded its footprint internationally, executing major projects like telecom infrastructure for Bangalore International Airport and Mumbai Metro in India. These achievements highlight Saudi Arabia’s potential to export innovation globally. Jessica Wong, Founder and Managing Partner of ewpartners, and a Board Member of ACES, expressed her pride in the partnership: "ACES is the first Saudi local company we’ve invested in, and we are proud of its remarkable achievements. Over the past four years, we've supported its international expansion and the development of new businesses. ACES exemplifies how Saudi companies can succeed on a global stage." This sentiment was echoed during the 2025 Budget Forum, where His Excellency Eng. Abdullah Al-Swaha, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology, highlighted ACES’s success in international markets. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remarked: "Whenever I see exports, I see competition, I see success. This is one of the great stories." Positioning Saudi Arabia as a Global Innovation Hub ACES’s contributions to the Riyadh Metro and other giga projects showcase Saudi Arabia’s leadership in technology and infrastructure. As global mobile data traffic triples by 2029 and 5G adoption accelerates, ACES is positioned to capitalize on these trends, driving growth and innovation. ewpartners remains committed to supporting ACES’s journey, delivering impactful solutions that contribute to Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification and Vision 2030.

Georgia pro-EU protesters defiant as thousands rally for 11th dayREFORM, Ala.

A young mother has issued a warning for Australians to be sun safe as the weather heats up after discovering a “pimple” was in fact cancer. Rachel Olivia, 32, suddenly had a pimple pop up on her forehead near her hairline. It felt as though it had appeared overnight. Two years later, the mother has been left with a large brown scab in its place. The initial small, red mark was dismissed by a doctor as a “pimple she’d squeezed too hard”. It kept flaking up and never healed. So she had it frozen off. “I left it for a year. It then never healed so I listened to my gut and pushed to get this reassessed by specialists who then did a biopsy and confirmed it was cancer,” she told news.com.au. It had been surprising news to Rachel. “I’ve never been someone to tan or sit in the sun. I’m known among my friends and family for being the sun smart one,” she said. “Unfortunately, I did have a few bad burns as a teenager and that’s all that it takes.” Thankfully, it wasn’t melanoma. Instead the Victorian woman was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. It’s a type of skin cancer that often develops on the face. It usually appears as a white, waxy lump. It can also look like a brown, scaly patch. “I was relieved it was not a melanoma, but also shocked to still have cancer. He told me I was young to get something like this. He also explained that Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer,” she said. Rachel was prescribed Aldara, which is a topical chemotherapy treatment for her type of cancer. However, in six months, she may still need to have it physically removed. Even though the treatment has been non-invasive it hasn’t been easy. “I’m not going to lie, it has had its challenges. I have a baby, so I had to be super careful not to get the cream on her during the night when I needed to wear it,” she said. “Now that it’s scabbed up, it’s so hard to look after it with a baby and not get it knocked.” She said from an aesthetic perspective it was also quite confronting to see something that was such a small spot turn into something so big.” Rachel has shared her journey online. She’s documented going about her everyday life with what has been left from the treatment — including going to a wedding. However, she has had an outpouring of support. Her key messaging while sharing her journey has been advocating for sun safety. “I’ve booked my first skin check because of your content,” one social media user said. Another added: “I had a spot in the exact same spot on my forehead as you, it looked a lot like yours did before you got it check. I was putting off getting checked, your video made me make that appointment. It is superficial SCC. “I am having Photodynamic treatment (soon). Thanks for sharing your journey. If I had left it for my next yearly check, next year it could be a much worse prognosis.” “Love that you are sharing this whole process — you are bringing it to the forefront. Sending very best wishes,” another added. One said: “I’ve booked a skin check because of your story; it’s so important that we understand how insignificant skin cancer can look.” It’s been a week since Rachel stopped the Aldara treatment. She said the scab was still “pretty disgusting”. However, it’s expected to heal in the next few weeks. Many who had been through the treatment reassured Rachel she’d be likely left with nothing more than a chickenpox scar.Syria govt loses control of key city Daraa

Monarch butterflies a big step closer to protection under Endangered Species ActNepra Foods Discloses Fiscal Q2 2025 Financial Performance

Shares of Verisign Inc. ($VRSN) fell over 1% on Friday afternoon, poised to end a three-day winning streak after Senator Elizabeth Warren and Congressman Jerry Nadler called for an investigation into the company’s pricing practices. The lawmakers’ letter to the Department of Justice and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration accuses Verisign of exploiting its monopoly over “.com” web addresses to impose “excessive prices” on customers, Wired.com reported. Verisign, which administers the .com top-level domain, has faced criticism for its pricing structure. For years, federal caps limited registration costs to $6, which rose to $7.85 during the Obama administration. However, the Trump administration lifted the cap in 2018, allowing Verisign to increase prices by up to 7% annually. The company started charging $10.26 for .com registrations from September. Critics argue that Verisign’s monopoly, guaranteed through a government contract, has allowed it to raise prices without improving services, effectively taking advantage of customers with limited alternatives. Antitrust advocates have also urged the Biden administration to open the registry contract for competitive bidding when it expires next year. Verisign, which generated $1.5 billion in revenue last year, has not issued a public response to the latest criticism. However, an August blog post from the company reportedly disputed claims of monopolistic practices. Retail sentiment was ‘extremely bullish’ on Stocktwits on Friday afternoon, with high message volume. Optimism appears to be driven by Verisign’s recent earnings and guidance. The company exceeded third-quarter estimates with earnings per share of $2.07 versus $2.01 expected, and revenue of $390.6 million, slightly above the $390.2 million consensus. Verisign also raised its full-year revenue guidance to $1.54 billion-$1.59 billion, signaling strong financial performance despite a 2.5% year-over-year decline in its domain name base. The company processed 9.3 million new domain registrations for .com and .net in Q3, down from 9.9 million in the same period last year. The return of Donald Trump as president could also be quelling some worries, as his administration is perceived to be less stringent on regulations and more business-friendly. VRSN stock has lost more than 9% year-to-date. For updates and corrections email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
