The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has always been a hub for business, and this will continue to be the case as new opportunities emerge and the legal framework evolves and develops to ensure that doing business in this region comes with little or no barriers to entry.

Mega events such as Expo 2020 have provided a gateway to the region, showcasing not only what the UAE has to offer but equally the opportunities throughout MENA.
