The company, launched by the Government of Dubai, is one of the most successful units of Dubai World, a holding company responsible for much of the emirate’s phenomenal economic growth. The online trading portal will facilitate further trade between the US and the largest buyer network in the Middle East. One of the key components of the agreement between Tejari and the US Export Council is the development of an online trading community; an e-Exhibition private-label community, for US companies, expected to be online in early 2009. “This element also provides in-advance business matchmaking for all of the US Companies attending the Connect - CEO Forum in Dubai on March 17th 2009” said James Magee, Organizer of the Forum in Dubai. US companies can upload their company profile on the portal, showcase and exhibit their products, issue promotional trade leads and above all, have access to a trading floor where they can interact with potential buyers or sellers across the Middle East 24x7.

In 2007, this resulted in the country importing $11.7 billion in goods and services from the United States; in 2008, it also made a series of sizable foreign direct investments in the United States.
