Expansion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is happening faster than originally anticipated, at 3.2% in 2025 (World Bank, 2025) and 4.5% in 2026.

Predictive Planning in the GCC: How Smart Businesses Are Staying One Step Ahead
There is a certain kind of pressure that anyone working in supply chain or operations across the Gulf knows well: the pressure of being reactive.

Farm to Table: How Consumer Consciousness Is Reshaping Food — and Why Logistics Makes It Possible

Driverless Trucks, Drones, and the GCC’s Quiet Logistics Revolution
Spend any time around logistics professionals in the Gulf and you’ll notice something: the conversations have changed.
