From Crisis to Opportunity: A Look at the Arabian Gulf Energy Revolution

There has been no other region in the world that has modernized as quickly as the Arabian Gulf region. In the space of one generation, the countries of the region evolved from being some of the least developed areas in the world, to being the energy superpowers that we know of today. However, this transition has been not been easy, nor has it been without its obstacles. The presentation focuses in-depth as to how the countries in the Arabian Gulf are transforming their enormous revenue inflows to technological advances, seeking to position themselves as global technology and education leaders. In many ways, the scope of the Gulf transformation rivals the era of Manifest destiny in North America. The presentation will also explain how the Gulf countries are taking advantage of the financial crisis to restructure their energy markets.
