About this event

The Asset-Based Finance MENA Conference looks at how lenders and businesses in the region can raise capital against tangible assets such as equipment, inventory and receivables. The organisers frame asset-based lending and lease financing as alternatives at a time when tighter bank liquidity is limiting traditional credit for industrial and infrastructure growth. The 2027 edition, themed "Advancing Asset Finance for a New Growth Cycle", takes place over two days in Riyadh and is accredited for 13 CPD points.

Who attends

The audience spans the whole asset finance lifecycle: regulators, central banks and government authorities, lessors, leasing companies, OEMs and distributors, and large and mid-market corporates that lease or borrow against assets. Banks, private credit funds, advisory and law firms, and technology providers attend as vendor delegates.
