Investcorp holds 2008 Investcorp Business Forum at University of Cambridge's Judge Business School

This event is the fourth Investcorp Business Forum, and is part of Investcorp's longstanding commitment to play a role in enriching and expanding the horizons of the new generation of enterprising Arab business professionals by exposing them to thought-leaders in business, finance and economics.

Investcorp has developed this year's Investcorp Business Forum in partnership with the Judge Business School, the international business school of the University of Cambridge.

The University of Cambridge, England, is one of the world's oldest universities and leading academic centres.

Established in 1990, the Judge Business School offers postgraduate business degrees in management and finance and has particular strengths in entrepreneurship and innovation management.

The Investcorp Business Forum sessions are being led by the Judge Business School's world renowned lecturers and other leading business academics.

Attending the Forum are 22 of Investcorp's young clients who are active in the management of their families' businesses, as well as Investcorp executives and management.

All have the opportunity to network with Business School faculty members and students, enabling business and academia to pool their knowledge and experience.

Nemir Kirdar, Executive Chairman and CEO of Investcorp, said:

"There is nothing more critical for the Arab world than to invest in human capital. Investcorp is determined to do whatever it can to promote and cultivate the burgeoning talent in the region. The Gulf is experiencing growth with abundant opportunities for the new generation of Arab businesswomen and businessmen. We hope to play our part in developing the skills of our region's future leaders."
