There was a time when business in the Gulf depended almost entirely on personal introductions and connections. That’s no longer the case.
Today, digital presence is more powerful than a handshake. Government buyers, investors, and executives are all looking online — at your company site, your founder’s LinkedIn, your past projects. That’s where trust begins.
If your online profile tells the right story — and your product solves real problems — you don’t need to “know someone” to start building momentum. That’s true in the UAE, in Saudi Arabia, and increasingly across the GCC.
