Conference Event General Information:

Introduction:

For the past four decades, most of GCC countries have witnessed a remarkable construction progress in all fields, industrial and infrastructural facilities, thereby stimulating the growth of real-estates in several Gulf countries that have started to encourage and support the creation of new projects in general and have called for local, regional and foreign investments to establish productive partnerships in these fields.

Taking into consideration the importance of integrating all efforts made by authorities and states and incorporating them into a joint activity aimed at creating real investment opportunities, by marketing the GCC countries internationally, H.H The Amir Shiekh Sabah Al-Ahmad J. Al-Sabah has organized a Committee from the government & private sector in 2003 to create a communication channel among officials, concerned parties and investors, thereby setting up a joint action to boost technology, real-estates, industrial, and tourism investments in the region.

In view of the vital importance of Foreign Direct Investment for economic development, growth of investment and employment, and considering the relatively low share of Foreign Direct Investment at the regional level compared to the other parts of the world, there is an urgent need to examine the factors that promote this form of investment and to review the successful experiences of other countries.

Emanating form this, the board of Creative Corp. has taken the initiative in organizing this event, with the hope of shedding light on the current international trends in Foreign Direct Investment and the policies that ought to be followed by the State of Kuwait and the GCC Countries to encourage this type of investment. In addition, discussion will also focus on the necessary legislation and the mechanisms that need to be in place to achieve successful development. Proudly, we were the first local company in Kuwait to adopt the philosophy of H.H Sheikh Sabah A. Al-Sabah in marketing Kuwait and the GCC states internationally, and taking the small investors & apprentice entrepreneurs in consideration. Therefore, this forum will cover several issues & four key-element topics;

• Return On Investment (ROI); local opportunities & obstacles
• State Law; Investment legislations, foreign investors, & frame-work of the B.O.T projects
• Real-Estate, tourism investment & it's economic significance
• The importance of localization Global investment studies & projects advancement

Moreover, this event will be an open debit between the private sector and decision makers in the Government of the State of Kuwait and Parliament Members to solve the currant problems the private sector faces everyday and draw a marketing strategy that serves the plan and the State objectives in these issues.

Along with this event, an Exhibition is held on real-estates, tourism investment, local & international mutual funds in the region and there will be a brief outlook on the investment opportunities in this sector. On other hand, our P.R Consultants organized two intensive programs for apprentice entrepreneurs to get to know the market throughout the event and learn from the existing corporate experience.

At the meetings of the Forum, a large number of senior officials specialized in the real-estates & tourism and investment fields and representing the public and private sectors will take the floor.
