?? The UK government’s top priority is economic growth. One key driver of this growth is services, which make up 80% of our GDP. ?? Buyers across the globe recognise the UK’s services for our quality, innovation and expertise. Indeed, the UK’s services industry has been interwoven with and developed alongside cities in the GCC and across the Middle East. We have a shared history: our companies’ deep understanding of the region make them the ideal partner for businesses and governments, with tailored solutions to meet the ambitions of this dynamic part of the world. Today, the growth in the region, particularly in the GCC, has been astonishing – and exponential. UK services have played a significant role. Our engineers, architecture practices and designers are making a mark on how the region looks, feels and is experienced by its populace and its visitors. Iconic projects from Riyadh’s KAFD Metro Station and Abu Dhabi’s Ferrari World to the Greater Muscat Structure Plan and Doha’s Lusail Stadium were designed and developed by UK firms with deep knowledge and experience in the region. Cutting edge innovation is futureproofing the region, and here too the UK is proud to partner with government and business. Whether it's - supporting projects through UK Export Finance, - building exciting experiences for residents and visitors, - helping businesses to raise capital through the London Stock Exchange, or - making it easier for people to access fintech products, our services offer is second to none. But don’t just take my word for it. ?? Check out our website and the wealth of UK capability in this region. And see for yourself why services are our superpower. https://lnkd.in/gxmFMB2F
