A few words from IIC MENA Chapter Chair, Bharat Vagadia:

“The IIC MENA Chapter, set up in late 2022, was the first regional Chapter of the IIC and has quickly become very active – which is no surprise!

Whilst the region is diverse, we share common interests and challenges. The MENA Chapter provides a forum for industry and policy makers / regulators to discuss how we can improve the sector, improve the investment environment and improve outcomes for consumers and society at large. There is much we can learn from each country in the region, by sharing good practice, lessons on what has worked and what may not have worked that well.

The Chapter meetings have created a forum to discuss ideas and I am sure that future meetings will continue to provide ways to collaborate with each other. I look forward to engaging with existing and new Chapter members at future events.

We also have two active working groups and these committees focus on Digital Economy & Regulatory Modernization as well as Data Privacy:

Data Privacy Committee
Jean Pierre Scerri, Committee Chair

Digital Economy and Regulatory Modernization Committee
Francesco Paolo di Gregorio, Committee Chair
