GITEX was such a fantastic opportunity that the MBRIF provided, where I was given the chance to represent the MBRIF and MOF at GITEX. I had a short time to prepare to present, thinking it will be a small huddle of people to talk in an informal way. But when I show up, I see this massive screen in the middle of the government section of GITEX with hundreds of people there! This was a phenomenal exposure that I got as it was not what I expected, but then we decided to do it, and I had my logo right next to MBRIF’s and the Ministry’s logos! These kinds of opportunities don’t just come across, you can’t pay for such an experience.

The experience exceeded my expectations! It was not intrusive or distracting, it was a flexible program, productive and helpful. The MBRIF absolutely did their part and more, in both dimensions in creating clarity on the business but also introducing other institutional players. The level of support the team provided was beyond the expected. The MBRIF helped create structure in some discipline to ensure we go through the right process and walk through it. That was one of the biggest value adds.
