CITRIX

Privacy Policy

Introduction – who are we

This website is owned and operated by Corporate Publishing International (CPI) of Grosvenor Business Tower, Office 804, PO Box 13700, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

For over two decades, CPI has published magazines and guides, organised events and run successful marketing campaigns across the GCC.

From an initial start with B2B IT titles, it has grown its range to include industry, oil & gas, construction and finance. For the last five years, it has also published in the consumer space, bringing globally important brands to the regional market.

Privately owned by its founder, Dominic De Sousa, CPI has grown organically from a single title to its current stable of over 25 titles, over 20 web portals, over a dozen awards ceremonies and numerous B2B events and conferences. Aggressive expansion plans mean more will follow in the next two years.
CPI has enjoyed several long term partnerships with leading global brands – IDG and BBC Worldwide. All of these major players chose CPI over competing publishers because of our innovation and understanding of the regional market.
