OUR RESEARCH

BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP & FORWARD MENA STUDY

Forward MENA in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has conducted a study aimed at fostering the growth of remote work ecosystems in six developing countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA): Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.  

The goal is to help transform these focus countries into talent hubs of the future, with skilled workforces fully enabled to serve large markets. Study insights will provide these countries with a roadmap for positioning their workforces and remote work ecosystems to serve clients in nearby markets looking to outsource parts of their value chain. 

It will also benefit countries with workforce shortages, allowing these “demand markets” to access skilled and abundant talent with a solid supporting ecosystem.
