Effective corporate governance and responsibility are becoming central to achieving success in the global business environment and the development of the MENA region economic structure.

Following on the concept that business environment in the MENA region is unique in the sense of cultural structure and needs, global concepts such as corporate governance and responsibility, developed and implemented abroad need to be localized to be effective tools. Therefore, the success of the endeavor to create a localized approach to global concepts is dependent on understanding the local environment.

Hence, this unique participatory Forum came to life in the hope of gathering global experts on corporate governance and responsibility together with the leading business persons in the MENA region, aiming to empower stakeholders to take an active role in the shaping of effective corporate governance and responsibility practices.
