CORECAP is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a member of the Community of Global Growth Companies (GGC). The GGC recognises its members as the new generation of industry leaders and supports them as they expand to become drivers of social and economic development on an international scale.  CORECAP has been identified by the WEF as a leader in the global economy based on factors including the company’s business model, leadership, growth record, and the market it operates within.
 
The Community of GGC consists of companies that: are expanding outside their traditional boundaries; have demonstrated leadership in a particular industry; have an outstanding executive leadership, with revenues typically between US$ 100 million and US$ 2 billion; and have experienced strong growth rates exceeding 15% year on year.  Eighteen companies from the Middle East are members of the GGC, of which seven are from the United Arab Emirates including Shuaa Capital, Air Arabia and Etihad Airways, while international member companies include Ransat Group, Hill International Inc and Northgate Capital LLC.
 
“The rate at which emerging companies are appearing on the world stage is changing the global economic landscape, the World Economic Forum is very proud to welcome CORECAP to join the ranks of the multinationals and among the New Champions”, said André Schneider, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of the World Economic Forum.
