Huawei’s smart auto service ‘HMS for Car’ debuts at LEAP

HMS for Car, Huawei’s global automobile intelligent solution, stole the show at LEAP 2024, receiving unanimous praise and admiration from the exhibition visitors.

HMS for Car consists of four boxes for technology solutions, including AI Box, Map Box, App Box, and Net Box. It builds a more intelligent and networked system for automobiles designed to revolutionize the in-car experience and enable customers to travel more comfortably.

The AI Box supports smart voice interaction to control the usage of the car functions, leveraging Huawei’s extensive device experience, for seamless device-cloud interaction in real-time, and personalized voice customization by vehicle manufacturers. Users can control their entire car ecosystem with ease, from simple commands such as opening the window, to turning on the music, or the seat massage. Celia, the intelligent voice assistant, supports more than 10 languages, personalized settings, and continuous dialogue.

The App Box features Huawei AppGallery in the car system, offering a dynamic ecosystem for car applications. The AppGallery platform is an open ecosystem that fosters simple and efficient app integration in compliance with regulations and user data protection and security.

The Map Box provides intelligent navigation with features like lane-level guidance, charging points reminders, and traffic light countdown timing to keep ahead of traffic, for a more comfortable vehicle experience when driving.

The Net Box provides seamless, intelligent connectivity across borders with faster network speed and an automatic and smooth network switching in weak signal areas between different carriers.

With the development of the internet of vehicles era, the diversity of automotive internet applications has attracted much attention. HMS for Car actively cooperates with ecosystem partners around the world to improve solution capabilities.

Additionally, at the LEAP 2024 exhibition, Huawei signed an MoU with Najm, one of the biggest insurance service providers in Saudi Arabia, to provide digital solutions and expand the reach of Najm’s services and optimize the user experience. This collaboration will see the integration of local digital information with Petal Maps, to provide more efficient digital services for users. This will include integrating relevant data, including street names, administrative divisions, GPS tracks, road data, and panoramic 360-degree street view photos wherever available.

‘Wealth Grows Here’: Aljazira Bank launches new brand identity

Aljazira Bank announced the launch of its new brand identity under the slogan “Wealth Grows Here,” marking a natural evolution in a growth journey spanning more than five decades. Over the years, successive phases of transformation have shaped the bank into what it is today, with the new identity serving as the culmination of a strategic chapter that strengthened the bank’s role within the Saudi banking sector.

As part of this milestone, the new brand launch also extended to Aljazira Capital, the bank’s investment arm, reflecting a unified vision and strategic alignment across the group. The updated identity of Aljazira Capital underscored its evolution as a specialized investment and wealth management institution, focused on delivering carefully structured investment solutions and strengthening its role as a trusted partner in building and growing long-term investment portfolios, fully aligned with the bank’s broader direction.

The announcement also included the launch of the new identity for Fawri, aligning it with the bank’s updated brand and reflecting its commitment to delivering reliable and seamless financial transfers within an advanced and integrated financial ecosystem.

Naif bin Abdulkareem Al-Abdulkareem, CEO and managing director of Aljazira Bank, said: “The new brand identity goes beyond a visual change; it is a true reflection of what the bank has become today. Since the strategic refresh in 2023, we have restructured how we operate, aligned our business lines around a shared objective, and strengthened execution. The progress we see today, in service quality and speed of delivery — confirms that we are moving in the right direction.”

The new identity reflects the outcomes of the bank’s 2023 strategic transformation, a pivotal milestone in its journey. This phase focused on developing an integrated banking ecosystem with a stronger emphasis on individual wealth management, supported by a more agile and efficient operating model led by digital channels. It balanced sustainable growth with strengthening the corporate portfolio, accelerating investment in digital infrastructure and human capital, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Since its establishment, Aljazira Bank has progressed through successive stages of growth, evolving from a traditional bank into a more innovative and specialized financial institution. Today, it places wealth management at the core of its proposition, offering a banking experience built on long-term relationships and a deep understanding of clients’ financial aspirations. In parallel, the bank has continued to reinforce its role as a trusted partner to the business sector, serving large corporates as well as small and medium-sized enterprises through solutions that support growth, sustainability, and the Kingdom’s broader economic development goals.

At the heart of this direction stands the bank’s new slogan, “Wealth Grows Here,” which captures its role as a key partner in building and preserving wealth for individuals and businesses alike, creating sustainable value beyond the delivery of traditional banking services.
