We’re experts on the Middle East’s high tech operating environment. 

We have sat at the table with cabinet ministers drafting the  social media laws that will shape the region’s digital economy for decades to come. We advise on market entry and government relations strategies for high tech multinationals enter, explore or expand in the Middle East. 

We solve problems for our clients

We work closely with heads of public policy, government relations, external affairs, and market expansion to solve key issues affecting their business. 

Government Bans

We have unblocked 12 apps in the Gulf and persuaded governments not to block dozens of others. 

Limited Access to power-brokers

 As any MENA veteran knows, getting access to the decision-makers is a constant struggle. Yet this is critical. Tech companies think they are in the high-tech sector, but they are actually in the people business. Taking the time to build enduring relationships with power-brokers is as important as business strategy in shaping market outcomes.

Underperforming KPIs

Companies burn through time and effort on too many insignificant, nice-to-have activities. Government relations firms don’t deliver results for high-tech multinationals, undermining their potential growth in the region. 

Lack of Expertise.

Corporate success rests on having specialists who understand the high tech and Middle East and its policy and economic landscape.
