ABU DHABI, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) and the Emirates News Agency (WAM) hosted the launch at the inaugural Global Media Congress, of the Arabian Gulf Business Insight (AGBI.com), a unique new website dedicated to coverage of economic and business trends in the Gulf and wider MENA region.
AGBI, with offices in London and Dubai, and a network of journalists, freelancers and media professionals bringing fresh perspectives on opportunities and issues across this evolving business landscape, is owned by Link Media Corporation Limited, a new London-based company owned by the Emirati businessman Alsayed Shehab Alhashmi.
Alhashmi said, “AGBI.com will offer the best in English language commentary on the business world in the MENA region. It is a resource not just for those with a stake in the economic, commercial and entrepreneurial evolution of the region, but also for investors and opinion formers from outside the region seeking a clearer understanding of the personalities and influences driving its growth.”
As well as AGBI.com, Link Media recently launched Hyphen (Hyphenonline.com), a website offering news, features and lifestyle coverage of established and new Muslim communities in the UK and Europe.
Link Media is a sister company to UAE-based Al Najma Media Limited, also founded and owned by Alhashmi, which is currently expanding its investments to include film and television production as well as documentary film production.
Al Najma announced the launch of Erem Business in Dubai earlier today at the Global Media Congress, which offers in-depth Arab-language coverage of business and economic developments in the Gulf and wider MENA region.
