Ehsan's Market Analysis

I track insurtech closely in Riyadh because it exemplifies a pattern I see across Middle East: high talent density at $80K average salaries creates an opportunity window. The 78/100 tech score means infrastructure is ready, but go-to-market strategies need localization. The winners in this market invest 30% more in local partnerships than global competitors.
