In a world where 85% of the population lives outside Northern America and Europe, and where commercial and technological connectivity has scaled unprecedented heights, we believe it is vital to explore this '85 world' unconstrained by region-specific classifications, outdated Cold War-era mindsets, and small-picture thinking.
We are living amidst a global geo-economic transformation, centring on the rise of emerging markets, the growth of a new global middle class, rapid urbanisation, and unprecedented physical and technological connectivity. A new economic and commercial world is emerging, and we aim to explore it in all its dimensions.

Everywhere else is too local, too conscious of its identity. The UAE, while culturally cognisant, is capable of hosting others without a sense of loss; this is one of the only places in the world where residents have found professional success without having to speak the local language. Can it now pursue something more?More here
