Within the Gulf Cooperative Council states these three countries represent approximately 81% of GDP, or $1.4TRN per IMF 2013 estimates. A July 2012 Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analysts report estimated $4.3TRN in infrastructure spend across the MENA region by 2020. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has plans to build 700 schools, 18 education cities and 300 healthcare clinics; Qatar is in the process of radical infrastructure development in preparation for the 2022 World Cup; the UAE, while already undergoing considerable development, has recently unveiled plans such as Abu Dhabi 2030, the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid City, the recently competed Al Maktoum International Airport with capacity for 160M passengers, and the announcement on November 27th 2013 that Dubai will host the 2020 world Expo. In parallel this will lead for others on the mission also to widespread opportunities in ICT, Healthcare, Food, Aviation Services, Consultancy, Financial Services, Agri Technology, Water Treatment etc as population growth and rising GDP per capita leads to widespread growth for products and services. For College Ireland MOU's are being progressed with a number of organisations in the region involved in Aviation, Education and best practice for Training and Executive Development. College Ireland will attend meetings assisted by Enterprise Ireland who are organising business meetings and events in Dubai, Jeddah (Aviation and Water tech only), Riyadh, Doha and Abu Dhabi. Members of the Executive board from College Ireland, both Brian Joyce and Aidan Fox will attend Government-led, high profile events with the objective of using the opportunity to build relationships and establish credibility in the market. A number of sector specific workshops and panel sessions will also be attended, with some facilitating key business partner & clients of College Ireland to enjoy some of the core mission events.
