Saudi Arabia & United Arab Emirates: A Wealth of Opportunities

Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing economy is creating opportunities for both exporters and Picture of Dubaiinvestors. These are further boosted by moves to diversify the economy away from dependence on oil and gas, by economic reform programmes and market liberalisation and by an emerging and growing private sector. Sectors of interest for UK companies Power, Water, Financial Services, Education & Skills, Construction, Environmental, ICT, Consumer Goods. 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) economy is booming and its programme of investment and privatisation offers excellent opportunities for UK businesses. Trade between the two countries is growing fast and UK businesses are increasingly doing business in numerous sectors, including property & construction, automotive, rail, aerospace, manufactured goods, industrial machinery, telecommunications and power generation. 

We will be giving you the opportunity to find out how your business can take advantage of these developments at our next major conference, Saudi Arabia & United Arab Emirates: A Wealth of Opportunities, at Pride Park Stadium, Derby on Tuesday 6th March 2007.
