The Middle East represents a large-scale opportunity for home-grown companies. The standard of British products has long been respected in a region where historical ties with the UK are strong. One of the biggest energy markets in the world has also created demand for related products from global manufacturers.
But the vast quantities of petrodollars means there is money available to invest in development. Countries including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait continue to diversify their economies away from oil and gas, providing a raft of business opportunities from construction and environmental technology to demand for consumer goods as populations expand.
In this breakfast Insider will debate the opportunities and challenges that lie in wait for companies looking at the region. We will explore the rules of doing business and look at what the different countries offer for potential exporters. The debate will also be an opportunity to understand how recent political upheaval is impacting regional trade.
