Saudi Aramco's pavilion at the Esports World Cup, the largest event in gaming history being held at Boulevard Riyadh City until August 25, stands out with three main activities that have caught visitors' attention and enriched their experience.

These activities are part of Aramco's ongoing efforts to boost interaction and engagement with the community through creative and innovative approaches.

The pavilion includes an event titled "Virtual Reality Races on Jeddah Corniche Circuit," one of the main attractions offering visitors a unique experience through competitive races in a virtual environment simulating the famous Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

Races are held twice daily, offering participants the chance to win daily prizes. Additionally, weekend races qualify winners for the grand prize provided by Aramco.

The experience not only provides entertainment but also fosters a competitive spirit and encourages technical skills among youth.

Aramco also presents visitors to its pavilion with a virtual experience titled "Aramco Vision," a two-minute virtual journey that takes visitors on a tour through the company's facilities.

It highlights major future projects like NEOM, providing visitors with a comprehensive view of Aramco's ambitious achievements and future ventures.

The third activity is the virtual racing experience at Boulevard Riyadh, which allows visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of racing. The activity offers an immersive experience that enables visitors to test their abilities and skills in racing within a meticulously simulated real-world environment.

Through these activities, Aramco is emphasizing its ongoing commitment to boosting innovation and creativity across various fields, attracting youth to an enjoyable and challenging experience. This helps in strengthening the company's leading position in innovation and technology.

Meng Wanzhou on Tuesday took over from Eric Xu as the rotating chairperson of China's Huawei Technologies for the next six months, the Shenzhen-based telecoms giant and smartphone maker said.
Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei, will also continue to serve as the company's chief financial officer concurrently, Reuters reported.
The 52-year-old is taking the reins at a time when Huawei is going head-to-head with rival Apple over smartphone sales. Both companies launched their latest devices on the same day in September, with Huawei rolling out a premium tri-fold phone that costs $2,800.
Meng, described as the "Princess of Huawei" by Chinese media, was caught up in an extradition drama several years ago.
She was detained in Vancouver in December 2018 after a New York court issued an arrest warrant, saying Meng had tried to cover up attempts by Huawei-linked companies to sell equipment to Iran in breach of US sanctions.
Meng was allowed to return to China in September 2021 after reaching an agreement with US prosecutors to end a bank fraud case against her.
