Leading Real Estate Decision Makers Gather to Discuss Local and Global TrendsKuwait, October 11, 2015
For the first time in Kuwait, Cityscape will host a Business Breakfast for developers, investors and key stakeholders of the real estate market to discuss local and global real estate investment trends. This exclusive event, to be held on October 18, 2015 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Kuwait City, introduces some of the most important themes that will take place during the upcoming Cityscape Kuwait event, the premier real estate investment and development event, being held on December 9-11 at the Kuwait International Fairgrounds in Mishref.
Set in an intimate environment, the Business Breakfast will feature an elite panel of experts providing key insights into the industry. It is designed to stimulate debate and discussion, while being a comfortable platform for decision-makers to build new relationships and network with their peers.
"We are pleased to hold the first ever Kuwait Business Breakfast," said Deep Marwaha, Group Director of Informa, the organizers of Cityscape Kuwait. "The event is a preview to Cityscape Kuwait and introduces many of the key themes from the show - such as opportunities and issues in the local market, as well as providing insight into global investment hotspots including Turkey, Britain and Spain, among others," he asserted.
Marwaha confirms that the launch of the Business Breakfast is in reflection of the huge response Cityscape has received from the Kuwaiti market. "We are grateful for the support of the industry for our Cityscape event in Kuwait, particularly all the government organizations, our exhibitors and sponsors, and those high caliber industry experts who will participate in the Business Breakfast," he added.
The elite panel that is chosen to speak at the Kuwait Business Breakfast consists of experts from a cross-section of the business world. From the media sector, Ahmed Bou Merhi, Head of Kuwaiti Business News at Al Arabiya and Head of the Business Department at Alanba Newspaper, will be moderating the panel. He asserted that the Kuwait Business Breakfast is a much-needed event to shed light on the industry's development in Kuwait and around the world.
"With the challenging situation that Kuwait and the GCC are facing as a consequence of the drop in oil prices, investors in Kuwait are moving now from stock markets to real estate to save their investments and returns, and also to hedge against the decline of oil and shares. Therefore, Cityscape Kuwait comes in time to focus on the changes in the macro-economy and their influence on the real estate sector," he said.
Nasser Faisal Alkhaled, Head of Real Estate Funds at Global Investment House who is also a panelist at the Business Breakfast, said. "I am pleased to be participating in the Cityscape Kuwait Business Breakfast. The issues and topics we will discuss are of interest to all businesspeople. As an investment professional, the Business Breakfast is the perfect platform to meet investors interested in property globally and to share my views on what the latest investment trends are," he remarked. Alkhaled confirmed that "Cityscape Kuwait is a great source of proprietary knowledge of the most recent developments in the international real estate space where investors, end users or anyone interested in real estate can obtain current updates on opportunities globally."
Other panelists at the Kuwait Business Breakfast include Mr. Rami Echo, Chief Investment Officer for AlArgan and Bassam Al-Othman, Executive Vice-President, Kuwait Financial Centre - Markaz. Al Othman commented "Cityscape Kuwait is the best venue to exchange information on the latest developments in the Kuwait real estate market. For Markaz, the exhibition facilitates building relationships with local, regional and international investors and other parties interested in the Kuwait real estate market. I am pleased to join the Kuwait Business Breakfast, which is a preview of December's Cityscape Kuwait, to give my thoughts on the industry. "
