How to Get on Arabian Business: A Guide for Tech and Fintech Companies
To get on Arabian Business, bring news with a clear Gulf angle, such as a UAE or Saudi launch, a regional funding round or new licence, or data on a Gulf market, to the right editor or through a PR partner who works with the title; Arabian Business is a Dubai-based business publication from ITP Media Group, first published in 2001 and read by executives, investors and officials across the Gulf.
Short answer: Arabian Business covers companies whose news matters to the Gulf economy. A US or European company with no regional angle rarely gets in; a company opening in Riyadh, raising from Gulf investors or winning a regional contract often does.
The ways onto Arabian Business
| Route | How it works | Credibility with Gulf buyers and investors |
|---|---|---|
| Newsroom coverage | Its reporters cover your company, usually tied to a deal, expansion, funding or market data | Highest |
| Opinion and expert commentary | An executive contributes a view or is quoted on a regional business trend | High, if the view is specific and useful |
| Lists and awards | Rankings and awards such as its lists of influential leaders, by nomination and editorial selection | High, but slow and selective |
| Partner and sponsored content | Content produced with or for a company and labelled as such | Medium: useful for reach, read as company-supported |
