“I am the founder of Ka'ak Al Manara, and I took part for the first time in IFE this year to represent investment opportunities for my brand. I think the experience was better overall than we expected and I will surely be spreading a very positive message to all. Firstly, Turret and the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce were supportive from day one, and executed an excellent event. And it has to be said that their pricing for the quality of investors they attract is excellent.

The quality of people and discussions we had over the two days were better than any similar conferences in the UAE market that we've experienced this year. We'll definitely be back again next year and recommend this to anyone who is serious about franchising."

Ziyad Ayass, Managing Partner, Ka’ak Al Manara

“IFE was a nice exposure for Fine Hygienic Holding, we met potential investors and business expats too.”
