In strategic partnership With SAGIA The Kingdom’s premier FDI, Private Equity And Venture Capital event : share the spotlight with leading KSA investors
I would like to begin by thanking all of you, our partners, speakers and lastly but not the least, the delegates for making the inaugural Outlook Saudi Arabia a success! We truly appreciate the time all of you put aside to attend the summit and the honest feedback from each and every one of you. Rest assured we will be incorporating the elements suggested to make next year’s bigger and better!
The summit has highlighted how important it is for us to continue to develop our knowledge and expertise in this field. As the Kingdom pushes ahead with even more economic reforms, there is no doubt that more opportunities will surface in the future.
We hope that the summit becomes a platform for the private equity community to share their knowledge and enhance their business objectives. Accordingly over the following months and into the run – up to next year’s summit, we will be contacting all of you to be a part of a number of initiatives that will further build the community. These initiatives will ensure that you are able to tap into a wealth of information, networking opportunities and general trends in the market.
On that note, I would like to end by sharing some of the feedback we received from you.
I look forward to seeing all of you again in 2011!
Best regards,
Praveen Balachandran
