The Gulf's Global Moment

The Gulf sits at the intersection of the world's most consequential flows — energy, capital, technology and talent. It has prospered despite being surrounded by fragile states and shaped by decades of conflict, the latest of which has disrupted energy exports and slowed the non-oil economy. What only months ago felt like the Gulf's golden age has been violently interrupted. 

In the Abu Dhabi debut of the Semafor Gulf Live, we will convene experts in foreign policy, technology, and finance to examine how the region can navigate this moment and reclaim its position as a critical global hub for capital, compute, and energy. How the Gulf emerges from this period will carry implications far beyond the region.
