Move 3 · Our distinctive edge
The changing Gulf, read by people who work there.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain are going through the broadest economic transformation in their history. They are building industry, logistics, tourism, healthcare and technology, and they look for what Italian companies do well: technology, industrial skills, the ability to design and manage.
Not abstract visions
Every country has a plan with targets, deadlines and budgets.
Each plan becomes sector programmes, dedicated economic zones and rules that reward those who produce, hire and invest locally. The Gulf looks for stable partnerships, not just purchases.
