INTRODUCTION Creating economic development and growth across the Middle East is one of the major challenges for global policy makers over the next decade.

2 INTRODUCTION Creating economic development and growth across the Middle East is one of the major challenges for global policy makers over the next decade. Regional economic inequalities between the wealth generating, high-growth economies of the Gulf and the broader Arab world in North Africa and the Levant have multiplied since the end of the Arab Spring. A new roadmap now needs to be drawn to restart economic liberalisation, growth and boost prosperity in the countries worst affected by recent political upheavals such as Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco and Yemen. History has proved that investment in world-class infrastructure, technology, energy, tourism and education can play a critical factor in supporting the political process of change across the Middle East. The Telegraph Middle East Congress will bring together business leaders and key figures from both the UK and Middle Eastern governments in London to discuss these issues and explore how the Gulf states and the international community can nurture an economic revival across the region. TARGET AUDIENCE GLOBAL REGIONS PROFILES 15% Europe 5% Rest of the World 19% Government and Policy Makers 28% C-Suite Executives 30% Middle East 50% UK 24% Institutional Investors 29% Middle East Companies
