Future-Proofing Gibraltar: The AI Futures and Foresight Conference will take place on January 21, 2026, bringing together around 50 senior figures from finance, gaming, insurance, law, technology and government for an invitation-only event on the Rock. The organisers say the conference is designed to help close what they describe as Gibraltar’s “AI value gap”, shifting the national conversation from limited automation trials to building designed capability, governance and competitive advantage through responsible innovation. “AI dominates every boardroom conversation, yet most leadership teams still struggle to see where it truly creates enterprise value,” said Matt Parkes, Co-Founder of Numero Partners. “That’s the gap we’re helping to close. Our job is to bring order and...

Europa 2–0 Lynx From the early moments, Europa tried to take control of the match through possession football. After just three minutes they attempted a shot to surprise the Lynx keeper, but it drifted wide.After ten minutes of continuous pressure, Europa broke past the onrushing keeper and Ruiz volleyed the ball towards goal, only for a last-ditch defensive header — just inches off the line — to save Lynx from going behind.A chilly evening under clear skies did little to warm up a match that, in the first twenty minutes, saw Lynx content to wait patiently for their opportunity while containing Europa and limiting their chances.Having come away with an important victory over Lions last week, Lynx repeated their disciplined approach and frustrated Europa to the point of exposing them to quick counters.

The Supreme Court is hearing a civil claim that could impact the number of television channels that people are able to view in Gibraltar.  The claim, brought by Gibtelecom against Gibfibre and Gibsat and two directors, alleges they intentionally caused damage to Gibtelecom’s interests through unlawful means by offering a television bundle that included unlicensed channels.  Gibtelecom, whose market share in broadband and TV products fell from 70% to 30%, argues customers would not have switched provider had the offering been limited only to licensed channels.  Gibtelecom is seeking compensation for losses sustained over the past decade and an injunction to prevent the defendants from broadcasting any channels for which they do not hold a valid licence.  The defendants in the case deny the claims and say they are not liable to Gibtelecom for any lost revenue.  They argue that if Gibtelecom sustained any losses, it was because the company...

A marine expert analysing a fatal collision in which two Spanish men died at sea has told the Coroner’s Court he believed there had not been sufficient distance between the vessels during a nighttime high-speed chase before the impact, adding police training for such pursuits should have been greater.   The evidence from the marine expert forms part of an inquest into the deaths at sea of Mohamed Abdeslam Ahmed, 40, and Mustafa Dris Mohamed, 49, from Ceuta.   The men sustained catastrophic injuries on March 8, 2020 when their rigid-hulled inflatable boat was involved in a collision with a Royal Gibraltar Police vessel.  The case centres on the events surrounding the fatal incident, its location outside of British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW), the use or lack thereof of GPS equipment, police marine training, and the medical aid provided to the injured men.  On the fourth day of the inquest marine consultant...
