About us

Welcome to AGBI – Arabian Gulf Business Insight

We are a new business news platform serving the Mena region. We break important stories, provide authoritative analysis and facilitate interaction and commercial collaboration. Because we believe that better-informed leaders make better decisions – which leads to better outcomes for their customers, their companies and ultimately for their countries. 

While our product is new, our leadership team brings a wealth of experience to the table, with former senior executives from regional publishers including Arabian Business and Gulf Business plus international publishers including The Times, The Sunday Times, The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Our mission is to become an essential tool for ambitious entrepreneurs and established business leaders alike, helping them identify the region’s key commercial opportunities and challenges – to showcase innovation and make mutually beneficial connections.

In technology-accelerated markets where content can be created in an instant, we’ll seek to deliver insight rather than simply present information, to foster understanding rather than contribute to the cacophony, to provide the focus that highlights key developments and changes that will shape the future.

Headquartered in London and with a newsroom in Dubai, we are a team of dedicated journalists whose collective vision is to build a next-generation business news resource that delivers insightful analysis at the intersection of regional economies and global markets.
