As the Gulf and Portugal draw closer across trade, innovation, and lifestyle, this afternoon at VNTR Clubhouse explores how trust-based capital and shared values can build lasting bridges between our regions. The gathering opens with a light lunch and informal networking, followed by a fireside chat “Portugal Welcomes the Gulf” — hosted by Yuri Rabinovich (VNTR), moderated by Wanda von Breisky (CadenzaLux), and joined by leading Gulf voices including Ahmed Akmal (Misk Foundation) and Osama Alraee (Lendo), whose work spans both regions. Together, they reflect on Portugal’s evolution as Europe’s lifestyle capital for global investors and on the Gulf’s vision of purposeful expansion.
