Who we are

naseba is a deal facilitator focused on the liquid growth markets.

Our markets include: Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt and East Africa), the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Iraq and the UAE), India, and Asia Pacific (China, Malaysia and Singapore).

We create ‘deal flow’ using platforms including business summits, leadership forums and executive training.

For our clients, the deal could be expanding into a new market, vendor sales contracts, sourcing a strategic partner, or executive education.

In addition, a separate division provides capital raising, asset sales and joint venture introduction services with investors.

Since 2003, we have hosted over 400 initiatives and have relationships with more than 58,000 senior executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals and VIPs.

We are a French company with on-the-ground presence in Monaco, Riyadh, Dubai, Bangalore, Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai, and have employees from more than 30 nationalities.

At naseba, we make it happen.

What we do

naseba produces, promotes and hosts ‘deal flow’ platforms in the liquid growth markets.

We operate across 9 sectors:  healthcare, IT and telecoms, capital raising, energy, leadership, hospitality, aviation, infrastructure and executive training.

Our platforms include business-to-business summits, leadership forums, capital raising meetings and executive training programmes.

Summits connect pre-screened purchasing decision makers with pre-qualified global solution providers to do business.

Leadership forums unite influential business experts through an interactive conference, educational workshops and networking activities designed to create business opportunities.

Capital raising meetings provide pre-qualified business cases with targeted introductions to pre-screened investors.

Our MIH Training Academy offers a wide range of executive courses covering a variety of key disciplines, and are held in-house or at a number of 5-star venues.

Whether your objective is raising capital, sourcing a strategic partner, shortening your sales cycle, entering a new market or executive re-education – each platform is designed to help you achieve.

Success is a choice

The name naseba comes from the Japanese expression “naseba naru,” which means:  “when there is a will, there is a way.”

We began in France in 2003 with the goal of becoming the best business information company in the world.

Today, naseba is focused on providing deal flow platforms in the liquid growth markets.

Our thinking

The secret of our success is our corporate culture.

I am ‘old school.’  Values like loyalty, work ethic and being a person of honour truly mean something.

Determination, commitment and focus are not concepts, but qualities applied with consistency every single day.

Unfortunately, these have been diluted or lost in today’s world, but not at naseba — they are ingrained in our philosophy.

Every employee is challenged to do their role as honourably and focused as possible.  Mediocrity is not accepted.

And the mountain plays a big part in our identity.

Everyone wants to summit the proverbial mountain, but reaching the top takes commitment, determination, drive, and focus.

No one stumbles to the top of anything. At naseba, our focus is on becoming the best at what we do.
