What makes us unique?

At Euro Gulf Synergy, we assist European companies who are eager to explore educational and business opportunities within The Gulf Region. We have trusted contacts in both education and business in the 7 GCC countries. Most GCC countries are currently busy adapting to a new economic reality: a future without oil dependency. This brings with it very real opportunities for economic diversification and open the door for foreign business and investment. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s long-term economic strategy, ‘Vision 2030’ highlights the enormous potential for European businesses to assist the country in achieving its stated educational and business goals. Our principle of ‘No Deal, No Fee,’ ensures our commitment to place our partners with key decision makers in schools, universities, educational training companies and businesses. Above all else, we are passionate about making a real difference in education in the region, as we believe wonderful opportunities exist to progress in this sector. With the extensive network generated with over 20 years of living in the region, Euro Gulf Synergy is confident of guiding a pathway for your business, enabling you to benefit from the direct introductions we will make on your behalf. Euro Gulf Synergy will introduce you to key influencers and decision-makers, with whom we have established and trusted professional relationships.
