The programme focuses on coordinated, values driven growth, cross border collaboration, and the strategic decisions shaping the decade ahead, closely aligned with Saudi Arabia\u2019s long term economic ambitions. The timing of this partnership reflects a convergence between Apparel Group\u2019s next phase of regional growth and Saudi Arabia\u2019s accelerating retail transformation, positioning the Forum as a strategic platform to engage at a pivotal moment for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Headline Partner, Apparel Group\u2019s participation reflects its role as a regional and global retail leader operating at the intersection of scale, innovation, and market development. Headquartered in Dubai, the Group operates over 2,500 stores, manages a portfolio of 85+ international brands, and maintains a presence across 14 countries.

Apparel Group continues to evolve alongside the markets we operate in, and this Forum provides a meaningful platform to engage with leaders shaping what comes next for global retail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panos Linardos, Chairman of RLC Global Forum, commented: &#8220;Our renewed partnership with Apparel Group for the 2026 RLC Global Forum reflects a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities shaping the regional and global retail today. At a moment when growth strategies are being reassessed across markets, this alignment reinforces the Forum\u2019s role as a platform for meaningful dialogue around scale, expansion, brand-building, and long-term value creation&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RLC Global Forum is recognised for convening decision makers across retail, real estate, technology, investment, and public policy.
