Arab-British Economic Forum

Tuesday, October 27 (08:30 to 17:00)

The Arab-British Economic Forum meets in November 2009 to assess the implications of the global economic turndown and worldwide capital constraints for trade and economic relations between Britain and the Arab world. The Forum, hosted by the Arab British Chamber of Commerce with the support of the League of Arab States, UKTI, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), General Union of Arab Chambers and British Expertise, will address how Arab and British partners can each secure economic benefit by Meeting the Challenges Together.

The Arab-British Economic Forum will be the key Arab-British business event in London this year. It will be addressed by Ministers and leading business figures from the Arab world and the United Kingdom. Their presentations will stimulate discussion by participants of the key topics in six sector-focused sessions over the two days, addressing Agriculture, Financial Services, Education & Training, IT & Telecoms, Renewable Energy and the role of Women in the Global Economy.
