TRENDS is the international magazine on Arab affairs. Launched in 1998, through Arabies – the French title from the same publishing house – it has evolved into a brand respected by business and political leaders across the region and beyond. An English-language monthly, TRENDS focuses on the Middle East but keeps a close eye on the global issues impacting the region. With editorial offices in Paris and Dubai and touch points in and around the GCC and the Levant, TRENDS offers its readers in the Arabian Gulf, Europe and North America unique insights into the future of global economics and politics. TRENDS was the only magazine representing the Arab World at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2004, 2005 and 2006 and has won an award for Best International Media Brand in 2005. Over the past few years alone, TRENDS has published interviews with hundreds of global decision-makers from both the Arab/Muslim world and the West, including: former US President Bill Clinton, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, President Abdulaziz Bouteflika of Algeria, King Abdullah II of Jordan, US Secretary of State Colin Powell, Microsoft president Bill Gates, and many other captains of industry and economy. TRENDS is part of a rapidly growing international media group, MediaQuest Corp, whose aim is to build bridges of understanding between East and the West. With activities ranging from publishing to TV production and digital communication – spanning Arabic, English and French languages – MediaQuest Corp. is in a unique position to achieve this goal. MediaQuest Corp., founded by Yasser Hawari in 1987, has offices in North Africa, Europe and the Middle East and boasts extensive operations in these Arabic and French speaking areas.
