Conference Themes
What the Room Will Be
Talking About
Panels, keynote conversations and roundtables. Five themes running through all of it.
The Middle East Moment
The Middle East is no longer a frontier, it is 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.
Fund Structures & Governance
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, fund managers are navigating growing complexity across jurisdictions, from EU AIFMD II and ESG disclosure to the rapidly evolving frameworks in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Venture Capital & Innovation
The Middle East has emerged as a fast-growing VC hub. How venture investors are deploying across early and growth stages, scaling beyond local markets, and how global capital is engaging with regional innovation.
Value Creation & AI
From AI-enabled due diligence and supply chain optimization to ESG integration and leadership development: the operational levers top GPs are pulling to drive measurable returns across their MENA portfolios.
Private Credit & Secondaries
Private credit and secondaries are rapidly gaining prominence in the Middle East. How non-bank lenders are supporting LBOs, infrastructure and restructuring deals, and the opportunities emerging as sovereign investors expand their private credit strategies.
