Don't miss this unique opportunity to gain valuable market insights, explore potential opportunities, and learn from industry experts.

Programme: 

This event will outline the opportunities that are currently available in Saudi Arabia  

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest markets of potential growth for 2024. With the Neom project, expansion of international schools and large-scale government investment, there is huge potential for UK educational suppliers. But there are also challenges and barriers to overcome, as well as cultural and ethical issues to consider.  

Terrapinn have just announced the launch of EduTech MENA, a new tradeshow in Saudi Arabia in April 2024. The Department for Business and Trade and BESA are working together to host a trade mission that will dovetail the tradeshow and provide additional opportunities to meet with Minsters and government officials in order to further explore the market and make the most of your trip to Saudi Arabia. 

This webinar will give you insight into the market opportunities that exist within Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region; to hear from DBT about the support they can offer; to find out more about the EduTech Mena event and finally to learn about the trade mission and BESA’s support.
