Good morning, wonderful people, and welcome to our first \u2018live\u2019 issue of EnterpriseAM <\/strong>MENA+.<\/strong> We\u2019re leaving beta this morning \u2014 dispatching to thousands of C-suite decisionmakers across our region and in financial centers around the world. <\/p>\n

(Thank you <\/strong>to everyone who joined us the past couple of months for our zero issues. Your feedback has been fantastic.)<\/p>\n

MENA+ covers AI and tech \u2014 and geopolitics, the war for talent<\/strong>, which BSD is on top (and who\u2019s gunning for them), the changing energy economy, new corridors to India, China, the Stans, and Africa (hence the \u201c+\u201d), and much, much more. <\/p>\n

We think one of the most powerful stories in the region is the export of ideas and <\/strong>capital<\/strong> not just to neighboring regions, but to international financial centers. MENA countries are jockey for position in the new global economy, and we\u2019re here to help shape that conversation, as we have with our national editions for a decade now. <\/p>\n

EnterpriseAM MENA+ is available without charge thanks to the generous support of our <\/strong>friends at Mashreq<\/strong>, the most ambitious financial institution we know in our region. We\u2019re publishing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12 noon UAE \/ 11am KSA \/ 10am Egypt.<\/p>\n

Want to send us a story idea or talk shop? <\/strong>Reach out to us on menaplus@enterpriseAM.com<\/a> . We read every email. \u2013Patrick and Salma<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
