Good Morning
Back by popular demand….Saudi Arabia!
Our March newsletter featuring Saudi received the most opens, click throughs and direct follow-ups in 10 years of sending out this missive, so we thought we should double down again for May.
Our London-based colleague Hoda gives an update on the recent ‘Great Futures’ UK-KSA summit in Riyadh, and talks about our work leading up to that with DBT on the very successful ‘Trade Corridors’ project where we helped lots of UK firms to engage with buyers and management across a number of the Saudi giga-projects.
We also cover the fast-moving regulatory landscape which is one of the key factors that companies looking at their KSA market entry strategies need to consider in their plans from the outset.
And we highlight the burgeoning (and myth-busting) sustainability movement in KSA and the many initiatives to instil green practices in project design, delivery and operation. This tends to be a surprise to many.
Finally, Steve Duncan from our sister company CStudios writes a second piece on things to consider for your market approach to international expansion.
As ever, we value your feedback and questions and would love to talk Saudi, UAE or Middle East in general if you’re thinking of making the move.
Regards
Joe
