Innovative AI Integration

Opera has raised the bar in browser technology with the launch of Neon, an AI-centric browser that integrates advanced functionalities tailored for power users. Unveiled on Tuesday, Neon empowers users to create custom apps via AI prompts and automate tasks through a feature dubbed Cards, echoing the capabilities offered by emerging competitors like Perplexity and The Browser Company.

Enhanced Productivity Through Intelligent Features

Originally revealed in a closed preview back in May, Neon is now available to a select group of users via invitation for a monthly fee of $19.99. Krystian Kolondra, EVP of Browsers at Opera, explained that Neon was designed for individuals who depend on AI in their daily activities. Among its impressive features is a conventional chatbot for straightforward Q&A and the more advanced Neon Do, which streamlines tasks ranging from summarizing blog posts for Slack to retrieving past browsing content.

Empowering Developers And Creators

Beyond everyday AI interactions, Neon offers a code generation capability that allows developers to craft visual reports, complete with tables and charts. Although the sharing functionalities of these mini-apps remain under wraps, the concept promises to further blur the lines between browsing and app development. This approach mirrors the repeatable prompt system in The Browser Company’s Dia, where users can combine elements to automate complex tasks.

Competitive Landscape In The AI Browser Arena

Opera’s Neon enters a competitive market where giants like Google and Microsoft are continuously evolving their AI-powered browsers. By positioning Neon as a niche product for the sophisticated user, Opera distinguishes its offering with features such as tailored workspaces, known as Tasks, that combine AI-driven chats and organized tabs. This innovative approach is reminiscent of enhancements seen in Arc Browser and other forward-thinking platforms.

Proving Its Worth In Real-World Applications

While early demos showcase Neon executing tasks such as ordering groceries, the true test lies in its real-world application. Opera will need to demonstrate that Neon can reliably handle complex, everyday tasks in a market where AI-driven solutions are rapidly evolving. Given its modern design and thoughtful integration of AI, Neon stands poised to redefine the boundaries of what a browser can achieve for power users.

Operating under the Pact for the Mediterranean, the platform uses guarantees through the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) to reduce investment risks and mobilise private capital.

Connecting Projects With Investment

T-MED covers renewable electricity, green hydrogen, energy storage, electricity grids, cross-border interconnections and clean-tech manufacturing. It also aims to address barriers such as permitting, grid access and regulatory frameworks, while supporting workforce training and local supply chains.

Projects Across Egypt And Tunisia

In Egypt, a €1.6 billion programme will modernise the national electricity grid, connecting solar and wind generation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez regions.

Other projects include a €575 million green-ammonia facility at Ain Sokhna, intended to supply the EU market, and a hybrid solar photovoltaic development valued at approximately €430 million. The Niat and Rasgha wind projects are expected to add 500 MW of onshore capacity in the Gulf of Suez, potentially supporting future hydrogen production.

In Tunisia, two 100 MW solar plants are receiving support alongside transmission infrastructure. EU contributions total approximately €92 million for one project and €80 million for the other.

€25 Billion Investment Target By 2035

T-MED aims to mobilise up to €25 billion by 2035 for renewable energy, electricity grids, interconnections and clean technologies. It also plans to train and upskill up to 10,000 workers.

The initiative seeks to strengthen energy security, attract private investment and create economic opportunities across the Mediterranean.

A Shared Mediterranean Framework

Developed by the European Commission and the European External Action Service, the Pact for the Mediterranean was adopted by the College of Commissioners in October 2025 and officially launched with Southern Mediterranean partners on 28 November 2025, marking the 30th anniversary of the Barcelona Declaration.

The Pact brings the EU, its member states and Southern Mediterranean partners together to promote a more integrated and resilient region.
