The U.S.-Arab Economic Forum strives to bring together corporate leaders and policy makers to create shared opportunities and strengthen U.S.-Arab relations. With a focus on business and economics, our objective is to initiate reciprocal partnerships to promote economic growth and integration, free trade, entrepreneurship, public/private partnerships and a modern, innovative and competitive society.

The American Middle East Economic Affairs Committee (AMEEAC) is dedicated to engaging public and private partnerships between the U.S. and Arab World in order to stimulate and promote sustainable economic growth and the emergence of knowledge based societies.   Through initiatives such as the U.S.-Arab Economic Forum, AMEEAC provides one of the world’s premier platforms for partners and participants to highlight their commitment through a vision of a shared civil society and strengthened economic partnerships.

 
 
 

The 3rd U.S.-Arab Economic Forum took place on May 7-9, 2008 in Washington, D.C. These three days of dialogue, provided a powerful opportunity for leaders from the United States and the Arab world to reinforce existing partnerships and forge new alliances and collaborations between the two regions.

The Forum united over 1,000 participants from more than 35 countries including top Fortune 500 executives and over 150 global leaders, in the fields of government, business, technology, academics and policy.

The U.S.-Arab Economic Forum works to secure a future rich with economic growth, cultural discourse, and bold innovation, by engaging the public and private sectors in building knowledge-based societies. The strategic impact of the USAEF is significant. In the past the Forum has had considerable audiences across the U.S. and Arab world.  Close to 50 million people accessed coverage of the Forum through extensive media coverage that included CNN, MSNBC, FOX, Al-Jazeera, BBC, LBC, and Al Arabiya.

We tahnk you for joining us in Washington, D.C., to be a part of this historic endeavor as we convene to solidify: “One World. Two Cultures. Endless Possibilities.”

This process, involving both Arab elites and Arab public opinion, is one of vitality and regeneration, a process which holds great potential for our future and for the future of our relationship with the rest of the world.”

-- H.E. Amr Moussa
