Home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world, the Middle East
and Africa (MENA) region has a pivotal role to play in driving global

innovation continues to transcend borders.

less than ‎30 consultants, APCO today has more than ‎200 people from ‎30+
countries working in teams across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, JeddahManama and
Kuwait. Our projects also take us to Cairo, Amman, Muscat, Beirut and other
markets in the Levant.
With a portfolio of more than ‎100 clients, APCO's MENA offices deliver public
relations and digital communication support and advisory services across the
government, health, food, consumer & retail, finance, technology, real estate
& hospitality, non-profit and public affairs practices. The region also offers
specialized services, created for the Middle East, such as our Build-Operate-
Transfer (BOT) model. We serve government, corporate and social sector clients
across a wide array of industries and focus areas.
In addition, APCO's global AI Comms Lab, a first-of-its-kind innovation center
