From Seoul to the Sands: REJURAN Makes a Glowing Debut in Saudi Arabia

PharmaResearch just kicked off something big. On September 11 to 12, the company held official REJURAN launch symposiums in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Together, the two events drew approximately 400 local dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and industry representatives. Clearly, they came curious.

Saudi Arabia ranks among the Middle East's largest healthcare and aesthetics markets. Meanwhile, demand for nonsurgical procedures keeps climbing, especially in Riyadh and Jeddah.

Interestingly, patients now want healthier skin, not just more volume. Therefore, regenerative aesthetics is taking center stage.

Attendees explored DOT™ PN technology and REJURAN's clinical applications. Notably, physicians loved the precise eye-area treatment cases.

Additionally, Korean experts shared practical techniques, including patient-friendly approaches and combination treatments with energy-based devices (EBDs).

PharmaResearch earned Saudi medical device approval in February 2026 and began distribution through a partner in May. Now, it plans to expand its network of local key opinion leaders (KOLs).

Ultimately, the company will keep strengthening physician education and academic marketing. It wants Saudi Arabia to anchor growth across the GCC region and, eventually, MENA.

From Farm to Future: Tanmiah Cooks Up a New Era of Protein Innovation

Something exciting just happened in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Tanmiah Food Company, a leading vertically integrated poultry and food producer, opened its new Innovation Center at headquarters.

Chairman H.E. Amr Al Dabbagh and Dr. Abdulaziz bin Malik Al-Malik joined the celebration, alongside government and industry leaders who champion the Kingdom's food future.

So what makes this center special? It manages the entire R&D lifecycle—insights, prototypes, trials, and launch—under one integrated ecosystem.

Better yet, it partners with HORECA and food service players, while also exploring new protein categories beyond poultry.

The center features four connected zones: creation, kitchen, application, and sensory analysis. Together, they speed up decisions and boost quality.

As CEO Zulfiqar Hamadani noted, this supports Vision 2030 while strengthening Tanmiah's community roots built over six decades.

Notably, ADC's Frozen Breaded Chicken and Shaqra Pepper Chicken already won Product of the Year honors—five years running.

Ultimately, leaders like Zein Attar and Marcos Delorenzo see this as unlocking Saudi talent and shaping the future of protein, regionally and beyond.

Thunes Unlocks the Middle East: Six Markets, One Smart Superhighway

Thunes just made a big move. The company behind the Smart Superhighway for global money movement is now live in six new Middle East markets: Bahrain, Lebanon, Oman, South Yemen, Syria, and the UAE.

That means Members can push payouts straight into bank accounts, mobile wallets, and cash pickup points, all in local currency. Better still, they can plug in through direct API access or simply ride existing Swift rails.

In Bahrain, non-oil activity now drives most of the economy, and Thunes' bank payouts line up neatly with the country's digital push. Meanwhile, Oman is chasing its 2040 vision, and Thunes is helping fuel that momentum.

Over in the UAE, the story is about scale. As a regional payments hub, the UAE needs infrastructure that serves both everyday consumers and growing enterprises, and that's exactly what's now in place.

For Lebanon, South Yemen, and Syria, this expansion is personal. Remittances aren't just numbers; they're household income. Thunes now delivers mobile wallet access in Lebanon, cash and bank payouts in South Yemen, and cash pickup in Syria.

Backed by its SmartX Treasury System and Fortress Compliance Platform, Thunes is proving that global reach and local trust can go hand in hand.
