Unique Insights into Abu Dhabi

Peter Yared, CEO and founder of InCountry: “The Middle East region has quickly become our top market and we are fortunate to have received such tremendous support from our partners in the region. Our philosophy of respecting each country’s data residency regulations and sovereignty, while enabling companies to adopt the latest cloud software, has really resonated in the Middle East. I’m pleased to establish our regional headquarters in Abu Dhabi’s Hub71 to take advantage of its holistic tech ecosystem – providing us with greater market access, world-class talent and flexible regulatory frameworks enabling us to better serve our customers.”

Stephen George, founder of Surkus: “This region has such tremendous value from a geographic and strategic point of view. As well as being one of the most digitally advanced in the world, it has grown into a real hub for startups in the region. The UAE is ideally situated within six hours from many capitals in the world, with 40% of the world’s population just a four-hour flight away. This makes it hard to not consider this as a global hub from that perspective. With that said, growing our team here allows us to support everything from global technology to operations for every market between Hong Kong and LA. I strongly believe that our regional headquarters in Hub71, based out of Abu Dhabi, is the ideal launchpad for expansion within the MENA region and beyond. In the coming months, we are planning aggressive global expansion, with KSA, Canada, and Singapore next on the list.”

Danny Sebright, president of the US-UAE Business Council: “It’s a very rich place for the future and an opportunity for American companies to access a vibrant market – why is it vibrant? Well, because of the investments they are making and the consumer products that they’re buying and because of their goals and objectives.
When a company first moves over here and they’re sending a lot of employees over who are bringing their families and they aren’t sure what to expect, what we mostly do is try to dispel these myths that it’s unsafe or unfriendly or not welcoming. It’s not only safe, friendly and welcoming, but you have so many similarities to North America when it comes to schools, socialising, consumer goods and leisure time.”
