For the first time, the country will introduce online voting in its elections to the Federal National Council so that voters can vote from any device. This also includes Emiratis outside the country.

The online voting platform will have a facial recognition authentication system.

Specifically, for the first time, the country will introduce online voting so that voters can exercise their right to vote from any device with an Internet connection. This also includes Emiratis who are outside the country during the election, with online voting replacing traditional paper-voting methods.
This system will be combined with in-person internet voting at polling stations through electronic voting kiosks, a digital channel that the country has used in previous elections.
The CEO of Scytl, Raoul Roverato, recalled that "this is the fourth time that the country has entrusted us with its elections to the Federal National Council and, although for Scytl it has always been an exciting project, this year it is even more so because of the milestone it represents in the history of governmental elections: the first fully digital process. We are proud to help this country become the first to hold an all-digital election with our technology, and also to set a precedent for other countries to modernize and follow in the UAE's lead."
Online Voting Platform with Facial Recognition
For this important milestone, Scytl will be responsible for providing the electoral technology necessary for the optimal development of the elections. In this sense, it will launch an online platform from which Emiratis can elect members to the Federal National Council from any device with an Internet connection. It is a secure, efficient, and intuitive channel, where the voter can authenticate themself with facial recognition.
Additionally, the firm will deploy its internet voting technology with the strictest security measures throughout 24 polling stations in the seven emirates, guaranteeing voters total privacy and secrecy when casting their vote.

OMP Extends UnisonIQ with Agent Library and Agent Studio: AI Agents that Produce Executable Supply Chain Plans3.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
ANTWERPEN, BE / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / OMP, a leader in supply chain orchestration, today extended UnisonIQ, the AI framework in its Unison Planning™ platform, with the Agent Library of ready-to-deploy AI agents and Agent Studio, where companies build their own. The agents run on the optimization engines in Unison Planning™ and produce executable supply chain plans. Bekaert is among the early adopters of UnisonIQ. Supply chain organizations face board-level pressure to show progress on AI, but many struggle to move beyond experiments. Generic AI models and decision-intelligence tools miss the industry-specific context and semantics that planning depends on, while planning tools with an AI layer on top lack reasoning depth. Both can produce a confident answer that ignores real-world constraints such as shelf life, co-products, and shared capacity. In UnisonIQ, by contrast, each agent works from a reality-based digital twin of the customer's own supply chain and calls on th

IXOPAY Announces IXO One, a Modular Payments Platform Built for an Era of Fluid Commerce3.11.2026 10:00:00 CET | Press release
DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2026 / IXOPAY, the leader in payment infrastructure enabling fluid commerce, today announced the launch of IXO One, an AI-native, modular payment platform that unifies orchestration, payments intelligence, and tokenization. It gives merchants the flexibility to buy what they need, build what they want, and adapt as commerce evolves. Built to power an era of fluid commerce and technology-driven payment experiences, IXO One provides the dynamic infrastructure needed to adapt quickly without ripping out or replacing their current payment stack. Traditional payment infrastructure makes it difficult for merchants to embrace fluid commerce and a rapidly changing payment market. From fragmented systems to rigid provider relationships, a new opportunity can require a heavy integration lift, slow time-to-market, and increased costs. IXO One's modular platform helps merchants mitigate the payment friction that leads to provider dependency, expensive mig
