August sees us step into the world of mobile in the Middle East , with a special focus on regional leader , Saudi Arabia .

Following a feature on the rise of mobile in the country with expert comment from Ciena , we go behind the scenes of industry behemoth Mobily in our flagship company profile with senior executive , Taher AlDabbagh .

Staying in the Middle East networking domain , I discuss with marketing specialists Caliber why business in the region should consider making the most of Arabic web content - an undoubted gap in the market as only two percent of all online material is in the native tongue of one of the world ’ s wealthiest population groups .

Our business leader Ahmed ElShrif is also active in the Middle East as regional director of IT experts Kronos .

Back in Europe , the re-emergence of the IPO market in the UK is charted , and finally we run down 10 of the best companies to work for in the continent .
