Human-written MENA market intelligence for European companies entering Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar — the depth of a consulting engagement, researched and written entirely by people, delivered in days, at a fraction of the cost.
Most companies don't fail in the Gulf because the opportunity wasn't real. They fail because they went in without knowing who to call, what to say, or why the last approach fell flat.
EU MENA Connect is a human-written market intelligence service built for European companies exploring Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. We do the research a $10,000 consulting engagement would produce — market sizing, competitor mapping, named leads, regulatory context — at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.
Every report is researched and written entirely by our analysts — no AI-generated content, no automated summaries dressed up as insight. Our team works directly across public data, government sources and industry databases, then adds Arabic-language sources, cultural interpretation, and the judgement of people who understand Gulf business culture and how European companies actually operate.
We are not a directory and we are not a generic report generator. Every deliverable is built around your specific product, your specific target market, and the specific decision you are trying to make.
The Gulf's diversification agenda — Saudi Vision 2030, UAE's post-oil economy, Qatar's development push — is creating genuine demand for European products and expertise. The question is not whether the opportunity is real. It's whether you know where to look.
Every engagement centres on a market entry report built for your product and your target market — backed by named leads, competitor data and a clear opportunity score.
A 30–50 page report covering market size, growth rate, government initiatives and industry trends, opening with a plain answer: is this market worth entering, and what should you do next.
A structured view of who you're up against in-market — products, pricing tiers and positioning — plus where the underserved gap sits for a company like yours.
Up to 100 named potential customers, distributors or partners, each with company details, a contact and a note on why they're relevant to you specifically.
Practical guidance on decision-making culture, relationship-building and negotiation style, alongside a plain-language overview of licensing and compliance considerations.
A single, defensible score across market demand, competition, regulatory difficulty and partnership potential — so you can compare markets at a glance and justify the decision internally.
An optional ongoing service after your report: ongoing market updates, competitor monitoring, new opportunities and government announcements, delivered monthly.
Every report is researched and written end-to-end by our analysts — no AI shortcuts, no generated filler. We work directly across public data, government sources and company databases, then add Arabic-language sources, cultural interpretation, and the judgement to separate signal from noise before it reaches your desk.
We work best with established European businesses — particularly from Poland and neighbouring markets — that have a real product and want a fast, evidence-based answer before committing budget to the Gulf.
B2B and vertical software businesses evaluating demand, buyers and competitors before opening a Gulf sales motion.
Healthcare and medtech businesses navigating hospital procurement, distributors and regulatory pathways across the Gulf.
Industrial and consumer goods manufacturers seeking distributors, agents or government-linked buyers in-market.
Food and beverage companies identifying importers, retail partners and compliance requirements ahead of a first shipment.
Beauty and personal care brands mapping distributors, retail partners and regulatory registration across Gulf markets.
European investors and advisers who need a fast, structured read on a Gulf sector or opportunity before a deeper engagement.
Every report is hand-researched and hand-written by our analysts. Accuracy comes from a person checking every source before it reaches your report — nothing is generated, and nothing is skipped.
Most engagements move from questionnaire to delivered report in 5–10 business days.
Your industry, product, target country and goals — five minutes, and it shapes every part of the research that follows.
Our team runs structured research across public data, government sources, company databases and industry sources for your specific market and sector.
Arabic-language sources, cultural interpretation, and a filter for what's actually useful versus what just looks impressive.
A clear, professional document with a plain answer up front — plus a strategy call to walk through what it means for you.
Every tier is a fixed price, not a retainer. Start with a single market, or go deeper with ongoing intelligence once you're in-market.
Ongoing MENA Intelligence Subscription available separately from €500–€1,000/month after your first report.
