Johnson said, "The Middle East has given rise to literally thousands of hugely successful entrepreneurs. The risk takers, the game changers, the innovators – creating everything from small family businesses to multi-billion-dollar global empires. I look forward to meeting some of the most successful individuals behind these great stories."
As well as being UK Prime Minister between 2019 and 2022, Johnson served as UK Foreign Secretary and Mayor of London.
Johnson will give a keynote speech to 200 VIP guests highlighting the success of entrepreneurs in the Middle East and drawing from his own experiences as UK Prime Minister to offer his own advice on leadership.

The "Legends of Entrepreneurship" have been chosen by Entrepreneur Middle East from an initial pool of over 700 candidates.
