An Evening of Inspiration Royalty, government ministers and leading business people gathered in Riyadh last month to celebrate Saudi Arabia’s entrepreneurial elite. In the presence of His Royal Highness Prince Turki bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Governor of Riyadh Province, Forbes Middle East celebrated Saudi Arabia’s entrepreneurial elite at a lavish event on December 10, 2014 to celebrate the magazine’s top 100 entrepreneurial leaders inspiring the Kingdom. Held at the opulent Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Riyadh, the prestigious event was attended by key government ministers along with representatives from Saudi Arabia’s chambers of commerce and business leaders from across the MENA region. The esteemed audience gathered around a common goal: to celebrate the people who, through their entrepreneurial endeavors, are creating dynamic Saudi brands and, in many cases, taking them beyond the boundaries of the Kingdom. The December issue of Forbes Middle East was revealed on the night, with Turki bin Abdullah Al Yahya, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of health and beauty retailers, Whites, unveiled as the face of the English cover, and Zamel Al Shahrani, Founder of industrials company, Saudi Daz, on the cover of the Arabic edition.
