This business event is an excellent and highly cost effective opportunity for U.S. companies to spend five days in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to meet with principals, network and establish business leads in the Gulf and the Middle East region
US businesses that join the mission will receive fully customized, one-on-one appointments with potential buyers, distributors, representatives and business partners in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
The UAE is the largest US trading partner in the Middle East with US$11.6 billion in US Exports sales in 2007.
This mission promotes US exports to the Middle East’s booming trade hub, the United Arab Emirates. In addition, the mission serves to attract investment to the US from the UAE and strengthen two-way trade between the two regions.
In the first half of 2008 US exports to the UAE were up 42% from the same period in 2007, making the UAE the fastest growing market among the United States’ top 20 export markets.
“If your business has an established market in the U.S. there is no reason why you can’t extend your reach and successfully compete overseas as well. Exporting presents an opportunity to significantly grow your business and its revenue” says Johnny Brown, Middle East Trade Advisor, at the U.S Export Council. Mr. Brown was a Senior Officer at the U.S. Department of Commerce for 30 years.
As one of the Middle East’s most progressive countries, the UAE offers tremendous opportunities for US companies looking to find Middle East distributors and representatives.
"I think the last few months has really shown business in the U.S. that more than ever, we need to really think outside of the box and focus hard on new markets and aggressively pursue all opportunities to increase both our exports and our access to investors and foreign direct investment abroad." said David Altman, at the U.S. Export Council.
