The Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) is at a pivotal point in its evolution, and we are seeing increasing investor excitement with the economic transformation taking place and the opportunities it presents. Bahrain and other GCC governments are moving from the role of operator to regulator and are allowing the private sector to drive growth and innovation. Technology is a substantial part of this investment in the future. New mechanisms such as public-private partnerships and investments in technology and digitization are driving growth and innovation across the region.
