Something is happening in Gulf life sciences that the rest of the world has been slow to price in. Riyadh is funding longevity science at a scale no one else is matching. Abu Dhabi is turning a national genome programme into real clinical trials. Qatar is building precision medicine on one of the most complete population datasets ever assembled. And Gulf regulators are clearing frontier medicine ahead of the West, with oral GLP-1s, ESR1 breast-cancer therapies and CRISPR treatments reaching patients here first.
A7i Intelligence covers this new region as it forms. We track the capital moving in, the regulators rewriting the rules, the factories coming out of the ground and the companies staking ground now, written for the founders and investors deciding where to build next. Not a consultancy. A publication with a point of view about where this decade is going.
