Conference Themes

What the Room Will Be
Talking About

8 panels and keynotes. Five themes running through all of it.

01

The Middle East Moment

Private Equity Sovereign Capital Regional Growth

The Middle East is no longer a frontier — it's a focal point for global capital. National transformation agendas, AI-driven sectors, and sovereign wealth funds deploying at record pace are redefining the region's economic role.

02

Fund Structures & Governance

Fund Formation Compliance UAE & KSA Frameworks

As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, fund managers must navigate growing complexity across jurisdictions — from EU AIFMD II and ESG disclosure to the rapidly evolving frameworks in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

03

Venture Capital & Innovation

Fintech & AI Digital Infrastructure Emerging Tech

The Middle East has emerged as a fast-growing VC hub. How are venture investors deploying across early and growth stages, scaling beyond local markets, and how is global capital engaging with regional innovation?

04

Value Creation & AI

Operating Partners AI & Digital Portfolio Growth

From AI-enabled due diligence and supply chain optimisation to ESG integration and leadership development — the operational levers top GPs are pulling to drive measurable returns across their MENA portfolios.

05

Private Credit & Secondaries

Direct Lending NAV Financing GP Liquidity

Private credit and secondaries are rapidly gaining prominence in the Middle East. How are non-bank lenders supporting LBOs, infrastructure, and restructuring deals — and what opportunities are emerging as sovereign investors expand their private credit strategies?
