CPO Briefing 💼
DATA CENTRE INNOVATION
MiTAC Computing has introduced comprehensive AI and HPC data centre solutions at COMPUTEX 2025, featuring advanced full-rack liquid cooling, GPU resource management, and support for the latest NVIDIA and AMD hardware. These offerings address the critical need for sustainable, energy-efficient infrastructure while enabling high-performance, real-world AI applications.
PROPERTY TOKENIZATION
Dubai Land Department’s partnership with Ctrl Alt brings real estate title deed tokenisation to the public blockchain using the XRP Ledger, integrating digital and traditional registries for regulatory compliance. Fractional property investment is now accessible from AED 2,000, targeting an AED 60 billion market by 2033. This move aligns directly with Dubai’s Sector Strategy 2033 and D33 Agenda for economic modernisation through digital assets.
ALTERNATIVE FINANCING
High-growth tech businesses are increasingly considering debt as a non-dilutive funding option, leveraging predictable recurring revenue, customer retention, and valuable IP for creditworthiness. This approach addresses cashflow volatility inherent to digital-first models and enables capital access without sacrificing control, crucial for sustained product-led growth.
Industry Insights 🔎
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
The Kano Model provides a robust framework for distinguishing essential product features from unnecessary additions, enabling product teams to allocate resources where customer satisfaction and market performance measurably increase. By categorising features as Basics, Performance, Delighters, Indifferent, or Reverse, leaders can target value creation, reduce product bloat, and drive sustainable growth.
INSURANCE TECHNOLOGY
Low-code and no-code (LCNC) platforms are rapidly enabling insurers to reduce operational inefficiencies, accelerate product development, and improve customer experience without the need for extensive coding resources. Adoption of LCNC solutions offers actionable modernisation of legacy systems and workflow automation while maintaining compliance and scalability. CPOs should prioritise LCNC for agile market response, cost management, and technical resilience.
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING STRATEGY
Silicon Angle
Software engineering leaders must rigorously assess operational maturity, adopt AI-driven delivery methods, and focus investment on customer-centric design, robust software security, and scalable developer platforms. Practical approaches such as KPI alignment, agile adoption, and platform engineering measurably impact productivity and customer satisfaction. This ensures leadership in a rapidly evolving eCommerce and technology landscape.
