Everyone is focused on how Miro’s valuation cratered from $17.5B → $1.3B between 2021 and 2026
But maybe just maybe it wasn’t worth $17.5B in the first place?

Today marks a major step for Mistral: we’re announcing a €3B Series D, the largest equity round ever raised by a European tech company, just three years after launch.

We have directed the Dubai Future Foundation to organise “Dubai Future Week” from 18 to 21 November 2026. We want this annual event to become a defining milestone in shaping the future of humanity, and a distinctive global meeting point bringing together leaders, decision-makers, business leaders and entrepreneurs, alongside futurists, scientists and innovators from around the world. In Dubai, future visions will meet the minds capable of turning them into reality, and emerging ideas will evolve into solutions that make a real and tangible difference in people’s lives. We want this to be an exceptional event that places people at the heart of the future, and explores how we will live, think, innovate and work in the years and decades ahead. Dubai has always been, and will continue to be, at the forefront of designing, testing and bringing the future to life. We will continue to bring together the world’s brightest minds and most ambitious ideas to help build a brighter future for humanity.
On Sunday @napster_corp announced Sovereign AI stack for Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 in partnership with @Lenovo_ME and @DETASAD 🔥🔥
👉🏻 Napster provide agentic layer
👉🏻 DetaSad provides GPUs and cloud infra
👉🏻 Lenovo provides hardware and custom solutions
This means Saudi enterprises and governments can now run AI completely in-country without the data going abroad!
Sovereignty is THE critical pillar for enterprise to truly adopt AI at scale beyond the POC!
Sam Huber retweeted
Napster, @DETASAD, and @Lenovo are joining forces to bring sovereign AI infrastructure to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Announced today, the collaboration gives government and enterprise customers a fully in-Kingdom path to deploying agentic AI.
Read: napster.com/news/napster-det…
And just like that @napster_corp is now the first fully sovereign agentic AI solution in Saudi too 🇸🇦
What it means: local enterprises and governments can use frontier AI and the data remains in the country 🔐
This is the only way to scale enterprise AI use cases ✅
Great partnership with @Lenovo_ME @DETASAD 🤝
Last night @napster_corp won the ‘Sovereign AI’ award from @inc_arabia 🔥🏆
Sovereignty is the concept of running AI models in the region, so all the data and reasoning remain in the country - NOT outsourced to another country
Why this is important:
▪️the conversation with Enterprise in the UAE is shifting from ‘what can AI do’ to ‘where is it hosted’
▪️Enterprises and Governments are waking up to the risk associated with NOT hosting AI locally
▪️most AI solutions operating in the region are actually NOT compliant 🤯
A company is made of the collective know-how and intelligence of its people, which translates into first party data and products.
You wouldn’t outsource all of that blindly to a team abroad.
Yet this is what is happening with AI.
As AI models get commoditized, sovereignty becomes the most important feature of your AI stack.
Proud to help build Napster into the first true sovereign agentic AI solution for the UAE, KSA and beyond ✌🏼

Napster just took home the Sovereign AI Award at the @inc_arabia Leaders of Tomorrow Awards in Dubai!
This reflects the work our team has been doing to build enterprise AI infrastructure in the region and the bold thinking behind it.
