2019 Middle East Investment Summit

It was a great pleasure to host and moderate the 20th Middle East Investment Summit on April 23 and 24th 2019 organised by Terrapinn.
The Terrapinn conference is always one of the region’s most forward-thinking investment events and was held in the splendid Godolphin Ballroom at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel. It was an amazing couple of days and included keynote speeches from regional and international leaders as well as many very relevant case studies. The possibility of speed networking was also an exciting, quick and non-pressured way for attendees to meet fellow conference delegates and industry peers in several 20-minute sessions.
The theme for the first day was “Transitioning Global Paradigms” which supplied an excellent framework to discuss changing economic trends and how these are impacting emerging and frontier markets, private equity and venture capital. A most interesting segment was directed at tech disruption and digitalised assets.
The theme for the second day was “Power and Paradigm Shifts” and we pursued and extended the discussion in order to examine particularly the changing role of family offices, the increasing influence of millennials on investment thinking and the evolving alternative asset scene.
