FORSA participates in Middle-East Asia Leadership Forum

FORSA, an exclusive investment company for women investors, has announced that it will participate in the Middle-East Asia Leadership Forum, which will be held in the Middle East for the first time at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai on May 22-23, 2007. FORSA aims to widen its investment scope by linking with business leaders from across Asia who will gather at the Forum to cultivate ties and expand business opportunities between the Middle East and rest of the Asian region.

"FORSA is eager to explore new leads for investments through the Middle-East Asia Leadership Forum. We are keen to do business with likeminded organizations who share our agenda of empowering and harnessing the investment potential of the women. FORSA will seize every opportunity presented at the Forum to boost the UAE women's ability to contribute positively to the economy," said FORSA CEO Shamsa Rashid.

Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, the Middle-East Asia Leadership Forum will debut in the region after 14 years of being hosted by major cities across Asia. With a participation of 350 to 400 CEOs from different parts of the Asian region and elite global leaders from other parts of the world, the Forum is seen as a crucial bridge between the Middle East and the rest of Asia, providing unique insights and perspectives on key markets.

"FORSA has been gaining momentum and looking forward to taking on bigger challenges. We have offered our inaugural projects starting with a major real estate venture and will soon expand our investment portfolio in other sectors such as health, retail and education. The opportunities, information and networking capability offered at the Forum will spur even more innovative investment products for women in the UAE" said Shamsa Rashid.
