✈️ Why are we building INAFLY?
People often ask us why we decided to build another travel company. The answer is simple. We didn't.

We set out to rethink how people access air travel.

For decades, airlines have evolved. Aircraft have evolved. Airports have evolved. Yet the way we book flights has barely changed.

Every trip starts the same way: searching, comparing, waiting, checking prices again. We believe travel should feel as natural as listening to music or watching a film. Simple. Predictable. Accessible.

That's the vision behind InaFly. We're not building another booking platform. We're building a new way to fly.

Launching November 2026. Join the first 10,000 Founding Members: inafly.com

A journey from the family we're following closely. Bravo to Inaya Group and Inafly!

It all started in 2024 with a conversation. Like every new project in our studio, we began with one question: how do you reinvent an industry, rather than just improve it?

After FinTech, insurance, telecom, our field of reflection was aviation. A question surfaced quickly, almost naive: why do we still book flights the way we did 40 years ago? We subscribe to our music, our films, our software, our phone, our car. Why not to our travels? That's where Inafly was born. Not a new airline, not a new travel agency, but a new way to access air travel: one subscription, once a year, and the sky opens.

Inafly is being built within our startup studio today. Launching November 2026.

The waitlist for the first 10,000 founding members is open: inafly.com

May he rest in peace.

🤝 300+ Projects. One Global Technology Partner.
With more than 300 projects under development, choosing the right technology partner is a strategic decision.

Discussions between the Solal Group and Huawei began in 2025. It quickly became clear that our ambitions were remarkably aligned. Across artificial intelligence, cloud computing, IoT, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, smart energy, education and many other fields, we identified numerous opportunities where Huawei's technologies and expertise could significantly accelerate the development of our initiatives.

On March 10, 2026, this shared vision was formalized through the signing of a global Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), covering the development of more than 300 current and future projects across the Solal ecosystem.

As part of this collaboration, Solal will leverage Huawei's technologies across its ecosystem to support the development of startups, digital platforms, smart infrastructure, innovation hubs and large-scale projects worldwide.

The first projects already emerging from this collaboration include the deployment of a 50,000 m² innovation tower in Singapore, where Solal startup Linkweez is expected to play a central role in delivering IoT, artificial intelligence, connected workspaces, smart access, digital infrastructure and advanced security solutions, as well as renewable energy initiatives where Huawei's battery technologies are expected to support the development of our future solar farms.

The first projects resulting from this collaboration are expected to enter their implementation phase during the fourth quarter of 2026.

This collaboration is not about a single project: it is about building the technological foundations for hundreds of future projects.

🚀 The End of One Chapter. The Beginning of Another.
Over the past few months, the Solal Group has entered a new phase. We have accelerated our international development across Africa and the Middle East. We have launched new AI startups and strengthened our startup studio activities. We have prepared a major fundraising process to support the next stage of our growth. We have shared our vision through television appearances, media interviews and public conversations. And we have built new bridges with entrepreneurs, investors, institutions and partners across several ecosystems.

But this is only the visible part of a much deeper transformation. Behind the scenes, we have been preparing the next chapter of our story, with a broader vision, a stronger structure, a larger ecosystem.

The next chapter is about to begin.

🤝 Behind Every International Expansion Are the People Who Make It Possible
International development is not only about opening new markets or launching new projects. It is, above all, about building trust, creating meaningful relationships and connecting ecosystems through the people who make those connections possible.

Over the past months, our development across the Middle East has been made possible thanks to the commitment, professionalism and local expertise of outstanding partners.

A special thank you to Walid Jomni, whose support, network and dedication have played a key role in helping the Solal Group establish valuable relationships and identify new opportunities across the region.

At Solal, we believe that sustainable international growth is built on strong human relationships. This is only the beginning.

🇹🇳 Tunisia | Building Bridges Between Ecosystems
What if one of Tunisia's greatest economic assets was not only within its borders, but also across the world?

With a diaspora present in major international economic hubs, a talented young population, and a rapidly evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem, has exceptional potential to build bridges between Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
