During his appearance Dr. Najdawi provided a valuable insight into the continuing development of this market segment and the tremendous growth in E-commerce highlighting  Amazon’s recent acquisition of Souq.com and the recent launch of Al Abbar’s undertaking with NOON.com – a joint venture between Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

He went on to further iterate that he expected the value of the e-business market to grow considerably from $3 billion to $60 billion over the next ten years pointing to the humongous impact this will have on the economy overall. With the continued accelerated pace at which the industry is undergoing  growth it has become increasingly clear that the market shows no signs of slowing down but rather further integrating across the spectrum of services in all segments.

He further noted that these students were ideally placed to take full advantage of this expanding market allowing them to enter the employment market equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed..
