Today, we have about 6,000 people working for us Gulf-wide and about 700 people in Bahrain. We have seen the first two months of the year as encouraging and even though in January business is normally down we have seen encouraging results. So I personally believe we are on the right track and that we will have a good year in 2013.

Our challenge is to foresee the country's future development. It is developing very quickly, and it is hard for universities to follow its pace. We believe that partnerships with European, Canadian and American universities will help us to do so.
