Q3 2024

Welcome to the Q3 issue of MEA Markets magazine. As always, we are dedicated to providing our readers with all the latest news and features from across the Middle East and Africa.

Finding ourselves three-quarters of the way through 2024, the business landscape in the Middle East and Africa continues to evolve at an astonishing pace. The region is experiencing an ongoing transformation driven by innovation, sustainability, and economic diversification. And, as challenges arise such as unprecedented global supply chain issues, SMEs are demonstrating incredible adaptability so they can overcome and thrive.

The global energy transition remains a focal point, with the Middle East spearheading groundbreaking initiatives in renewable energy. Countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are setting ambitious targets for carbon neutrality, fuelled by significant investments in solar and hydrogen projects. Meanwhile, Africa continues to harness the power of technology to bridge gaps in infrastructure and education. With an increasing number of tech hubs and startups emerging, African innovators are redefining traditional industries and creating solutions tailored to local challenges.

In this issue of MEA Markets magazine, we are thrilled to be sharing the stories of our award-winning enterprises who are breaking down barriers and reshaping the world of business as we know it. These exceptional businesses hail from industries such as pharma, healthcare, construction, interiors, community youth engagement, digital PR, and even artisan baking.

I hope you find this issue to be insightful and I wish you a prosperous quarter ahead. In the meantime, I look forward to welcoming you back again soon for the Q4 issue of MEA Markets magazine.
