* Middle East, True Potential of the Region and Emergence of Financial Services│Shane Shin(Shorooq Partners, Founding Partner): Since the discovery of oil in the Middle East during the early 1900s, Middle East has been one of the world’s largest producer / exporters of oil and this is how the world has been looking at the region. Yet, over the last many years, the region has been gradually yet surely transitioning to the post-oil era, driven by talents, innovation, technology and financial services among others. This session is to highlight Middle East in a concise summary and illustrate what the region is really about, and what we can do to be part of this gigantic movement happening in the region. There are too many mistrued preconceptions towards the Middle East and we hope to demystify this. #ShaneShin, #ShorooqPartners, #MiddleEast
