- How it all started
- The company began operations in
1979 with Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal, a pan-Arab business and economic
magazine covering the public and private sectors. The magazine was a
pioneer in this endeavor and quickly gained favor among decision-makers
in the region for providing an alternative to Arab readers with its
audience-specific coverage. A subsequent goal of founder and general
manager, Mr. Raouf Abou-Zaki, was to use this medium as a means of
furthering direct ties with regional and international communities
alike.
In the early 1990's, the company launched a new business
line of conferences and exhibitions to foster investment in the region.
Among the first of these was the Arab Investment and Capital Markets
conference, the regional success of which spurred a series of other
topical conferences that cemented the Group’s reputation as the foremost
planner and marketer of investment conferences in the region.
- The Group
- Thanks to 34 years of insight into Arab
economies and a vast network of field specialists, Al-Iktissad Wal-Aamal
group has gained substantial expertise in predicting development and
investment trends, offering in depth and up to date analysis and
