Lord Neil Gibson has spent the past six months in Dubai, and many are speculating as to the nature of his extended visit. While the obvious answer is that he is busy setting up the frameworks of new companies, the true nature of the visit goes far beyond this simple fact. Yes, Gibson has been filing paperwork necessary to secure licensing in the area to conduct financial transactions and secure capital for a variety of projects, but the nature of those projects remains slightly undefined. One thing that is certain is that Gibson will continue his tradition of utilizing development projects for both financial gain as well as philanthropic efforts. Lord Neil has a long history of effectively combining philanthropy and business, resulting in areas that had little ability to progress due to a lack of foreign investment being paired with the resources necessary to install a project of such a level.
Lord Gibson has been structuring strategic partnerships with local Dubai political figures, business people, investors and advocates. Through these connections, he plans on creating teams which will have access to capital as well as the intellectual resources necessary to develop targeted areas that have traditionally been overlooked. Gibson's plans are the same as they have always been, to find and identify global areas that have exploitable natural resources and a local population who has traditionally been underserved. The access to employment would be step one in the uplifting of such a community. In order to achieve these types of goals, the entire infrastructure generally needs installation, and once that step is completed then you can move on to actual development of factories and mines that can exploit a resource located in that area. Gibson's investors are repaid via a percentage of the ownership of the projects and the resources exported. The local population is able to become self sufficient with the newly installed industry.
Lord Neil Gibson's form of business and philanthropy may be foreign to some who have traditionally only seen business for the profit motive, however he sees Dubai as a wealth of not only investment capital but also the potential to improve the world. The power brokers of Dubai are beginning to see things the same way, and with Gibson's leadership we may be on the verge of a better planet.
