- 8 Things to Look for in a Good Research Partner
If you're in business, you're at war.
Odds are you’re also trying to run a lean business, which means you've not got enough manpower to chuck into the trenches.
When it comes to gathering critical information about the markets, the competitors, or even the feasibility of key business decisions; most firms operating out there have in-house research experts that are a jack of all trades, but masters of none. And this might work in few cases.
Sometimes though, and this definitely sneaks up on the weary that aren’t wary, you’ll need to spring a little extra for situations that call for specific expertise.
Your first big decision is whether you want to tackle this internally, or hire a Research Partner. - Chemical Recycling of PET - Moving Closer to Circular Economy
Currently, the usage of plastic is linear—it is used and discarded in oceans or landfills after one use only. However, to save the environment, plastic waste should be recycled and reused. Traditional methods used for recycling plastic waste give just 60–70% yield. Furthermore, on subsequent recycling, Recycled PET (rPET) hazes, which is not suitable for the production of packaging products. The objective of this article is to highlight alternate methods of recycling plastic waste which give 100% yield of recycled plastic, with quality as good as virgin plastic obtained from petrochemicals.

- Expect Sturdy Growth in the GCC’s Education Sector
Most oil-exporting Arab states face the analogous challenges of fostering inclusive growth and creating job opportunities. The present slump in oil prices has exacerbated these challenges.

- European Wealth Management - An Insatiable Appetite for Growth is Imminent
While Europe boasts about USD 73 trillion (29%) of global wealth, just USD 14 trillion of Europe’s gross wealth is currently managed under regulated open-ended funds. Although countries like Germany, France, the UK and Italy comprise two-thirds of Europe’s wealth, smaller core countries such as Luxembourg and Switzerland reflect higher average wealth per adult, and hence, greater wealth management opportunities.
This is especially true in Europe.
- Solar Energy Sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The demand for electricity in Saudi Arabia is growing at a rate of 7% per year, pushed largely by a growing population. Current capacity stands at 66 GW, which is expected to double by 2030.
One of the largest producers of oil in the world, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is also the world’s sixth largest consumer of oil.
The domestic consumption of oil has increased at an alarming rate of 4-6%, nearly twice the rate of population growth. Demand from residential as well as commercial customers has been steadily increasing, boosted by a rapid growth in both population and industry. The global leader in crude oil exports also burns more oil than any other country to generate electricity, spending nearly $16bn every year just to cope with local electricity demand.
If these trends continue, domestic consumption could eat into Saudi oil exports and render the Kingdom a net oil importer by 2038.
The shape of things to come has made the Saudi government keen to explore alternative sources of electricity production.
Solar Energy is expected to get a huge boost in the coming years taking into account environmental and health effects, the economics of solar energy, the geographical location of solar power plants, and load forecasting in Saudi Arabia.
