Argaam Investment Company recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the HKU Business School, to enrich specialized training programs in the financial sector in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

This partnership opens new horizons in developing and delivering high-quality programs targeting executive leaders and investor relations (IR) professionals, leveraging Argaam’s expertise in the Saudi and Gulf markets and the strong standing of the University of Hong Kong, one of the world’s leading institutions in education and leadership development.

Under the agreement, Argaam will be responsible for promoting and introducing the programs within the Gulf region, while the HKU Business School will handle the design, development, and delivery of the academic curricula. This, in turn, will be supported by local partners in Saudi Arabia to ensure a comprehensive educational experience.

Among the programs to be launched as an initial phase of this partnership are an Executive Investor Relations Program in Saudi Arabia and the International Investor Relations Program – Hong Kong edition.

Both parties will also join hands to organize high-level educational and training events, in addition to exploring future opportunities to design new programs that cater for both local and global markets.

Commenting on this partnership, Islam Zween, CEO of Argaam Investment, said:

"This partnership marks an important milestone in Argaam’s journey from being a data provider to a supporter of business leaders in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region, empowering them with world-class tools that strengthen their standing and advance IR practices in line with the highest international standards."

For his part, Professor Hongbin Cai, Dean of HKU Business School, stated:

"We are delighted to collaborate with Argaam Investment to expand the reach of our executive programs in the region. We are committed to delivering an innovative educational experience that meets the aspirations of Saudi and Gulf leaders and contributes to building global competencies."
