It’s been a busy week for the Business Extra team as the cooler weather kicks off the UAE conference season. The World Economic Forum has been in town, it is Dubai Future Week, the world’s largest oil and gas exhibition is set for Abu Dhabi in a few days’ time and we have the air show coming up before the end of this month. Those are only a handful of the things going on in November. Amid the action Mustafa Alrawi and Kelsey Warner welcome guest host Clemence Dutertre, CEO at Careem-RTA JV Hala to talk about the bridge between private and public sector ride hailing and this week’s news stories and business announcements.
