As the Middle East accelerates its digital and economic transformation, the ability to identify, assess, and mitigate risk has never been more critical. Fragmented regulatory frameworks, complex ownership structures, and massive cross-border trade flows (e.g., through major ports like Jabal Ali and the Suez Canal) add even more complexity to risk dynamics in the region.
In this fireside chat hosted by the Association of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (AGRC), Sayari’s Regional Director for the Middle East and Africa, Mohamed Abboud, explores how corporate enterprises in the Middle East are using AI, data intelligence, and automation to overcome these challenges. By redefining transparency, enhancing regulatory oversight, and strengthening institutional resilience, Together, we’ll discuss practical strategies to de-risk national systems, safeguard cross-border trade, and build trusted digital economies across the region.

- How challenges unique to the Middle East differentiate it from other financial centers.
- How predictive risk management leveraging advanced technologies like graph-based AI models and entity resolution is helping organizations in the region move beyond reactive compliance.
