Middle East Projected for Unprecedented Digital Economy Growth
The Middle East’s digital economy is on track for remarkable expansion, projected to exceed EUR 500 billion by 2030.

Likewise, the UAE’s digital commerce landscape is thriving, with B2C E-Commerce revenue expected to nearly double-digit EUR billion by 2028.
