The UAE is Changing and Changing Fast

Dates:
10 Mar 2008 - 10 Mar 2008

Unprecedented growth is driving a transformation of the business landscape, led by government and strongly influenced by business leaders.

Where do you fit in the UAE's emerging future? Are you hooked up to the change-makers in the region—or second-guessing developments from the outside? And how much of the global economy will sovereign funds own in 10 years time?

The First Business Roundtable with the Government of the United Arab Emirates is designed to enable you to explore the issues and debate the agenda for change with the very people who are making it happen.

            Members of the Arab British Chamber receive an exclusive discount of €250
