No. We welcome material from startups and established companies, investors and funds, PR agencies, universities and research centres, government and public bodies, nonprofits, and event organisers.

It must have a clear consequence for one or more Middle East and North Africa markets, such as market entry, local product availability, investment, jobs, research, policy, or an event. Having a regional PR representative is not enough by itself.

We review funding rounds, acquisitions and exits, product and service launches, expansions and partnerships, leadership appointments, research and market data, public initiatives and policy, jobs and training opportunities, scholarships, events, and calls for participation.

Yes, if you are authorised to do so. Identify the organisation making the announcement, your relationship to it, and a professional contact the editorial team can use for verification. Disclose any relevant commercial relationship.

Explain what happened, who is involved, the release date, the affected markets, the announcement’s concrete outcome, the original source URL, and the full release text. Add a spokesperson for verification and primary documents supporting material figures or claims.

For funding, include the round stage, participating investors, and whether the amount is disclosed. For launches or expansions, give the markets, availability date, and concrete operational change. For research or policy, link to the original report, methodology, or official decision. For events, include the date, venue, cost, intended audience, and registration link.

Yes. Submit once in the language that communicates the facts most clearly. There is no need to send identical submissions in both languages, although you may link to another available version.

The form does not accept file uploads. Provide a stable link to the press kit, images, or video, and make sure the editorial team can access it. State the owner, required credit, and any usage restrictions.

Give the embargo expiry date, time, and named time zone. Submitting embargoed material does not mean the embargo is accepted. It takes effect only after explicit written confirmation from the editorial team.

Select “Undisclosed”. Do not estimate the amount or enter zero. Include only the stage, investors, and other details confirmed by an authorised source.

Usually not. A release is a primary source for review. We may verify its claims, rewrite the news, add regional context, seek independent comment, or omit claims that cannot be supported.

We examine the original source and available documents, and may contact the spokesperson or named parties and compare claims with independent sources. We may request more information or decline coverage when verification is not possible.

No. You receive a reference immediately after a successful submission, but submission does not guarantee coverage, publication, or timing. We contact you if we need more information or decide to pursue the story. We cannot promise an individual reply to every release.

Submit it once and retain the reference. If a material fact changes, send a corrected version, include the previous reference, and explain what changed. Repeated copies do not receive additional priority.

Provide the submission reference or published URL, identify the exact statement concerned, and supply the correction with primary evidence. Factual errors are handled under the editorial corrections policy.

Editorial assessment and independent coverage are free. Advertising and sponsorship do not influence editorial decisions. Submit only text, images, quotations, and data that you are authorised to share, with ownership, credit, and restrictions stated. Contact details are used for assessment, verification, follow-up, and the editorial record. Do not send identity documents, personal financial data, or trade secrets.
