As 192 countries come together under the auspices of Expo 2020 Dubai, Arabian Business captures a snapshot of the UAE’s business community and how industry views the vast opportunity on offer
Welcome to our AB Leaders Expo special edition, and a warm welcome to anyone reading from one of the 192 countries participating in the Expo 2020 Dubai.
The theme ‘Connecting Minds and Creating the Future’ was always a powerful statement, a noble goal, but it feels especially vital today following the last 18 months, where the world has been so unconnected and the future seemed so uncertain.
But here we are, a little later than planned, but with business and trade open in the UAE, with an economy that is bouncing back to pre-pandemic levels and an event sprawling with ambition, that aims to improve the world and shape the future through sustainability, mobility and opportunity.
Our AB Leaders Expo special edition is a guide for anyone new in town to the influential businesses which shape the UAE and those who lead them.
