Supporting Partners

Event Overview

Testimonials

This forum gave us an opportunity to talk about the achievements that we had at Dubai Airports as an immigration touchpoint and in collaboration with our stakeholders. And it also gave us an opportunity to get to learn from other presenters and from the panel speakers as well. So thank you very much for giving us the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to be here next year.

It's a pleasure to be here at the MENA PPP Forum. We've had a great last couple of days here. It's the first time that we've participated as an event sponsor and we've got a lot from it. I think the region is experiencing fantastic growth of PPP projects now. We're seeing the sophistication of those projects growing in the way they've been contracted. And it's great being here rubbing the shoulders with the government, with the private sector, with lenders, with investors that have made the event possible. So, thank you all for having us and we'll be back next year.

We are a leading company in contracting in Saudi Arabia for more than 30 years. Today we are participating in the PPP MENA Forum. Since we are taking the new step for involving in the Triple P project, the event was involving a lot of developers, a lot of contractors and build a new connection around the world with the interest people in the PPP sector. We find this forum as a good potential to build connections, and we would like to invite you to join us in the next edition.
