Gulf Capital SME Awards 2022 | MEED | Middle East Economic Digest | 26 August 2022 | TBA

For the 11th year, Gulf Capital & Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) are delighted to present the 2022 SME Awards which proudly encompasses a multitude of exciting and vibrant businesses and industries across MENA region.

There is no denying that Covid 19 temporarily paralysed businesses globally. Two years into the pandemic, despite the worldwide grip the virus still has on us all, the MENA region is proving to be a pioneer of survival, not just from a health perspective -but also from a business one. Several small businesses have embraced the new normal by testing & deploying the Hybrid Business Models & Digital Shifts.

SMEs remain pivotal to the continued diversification of the economy in MENA. Crucial to the development of a knowledge economy, SMEs continue to add in-country value through job creation and the development of talent pools. 2022 is another year of continued change as consumer demands evolve, technology drives solutions and post pandemic uncertain market conditions.
