Gulf Capital International Acquisition Corp.

We established Gulf Capital International Acquisition Corp. to create value for the shareholders by combining and leveraging the exceptional investing franchises built up by Gulf Capital.

The Market
Opportunity

With investor-friendly regulations, thriving industrial activity, a growing services sector and a young entrepreneurial population, our target markets are home to a growing number of innovative platforms that benefit from established and growing trade flows which extend from Cairo to Singapore. Their foreign direct investments have become increasingly intra-regional, reflecting the deepening ties between the financial systems and corporate sectors. Such trends are likely to accelerate in the post-pandemic era, as more consumers opt for more regional and local holiday and education options, with more businesses being started within the region.
