Mission Highlights

Executives from ten SME companies joined the Bilateral US-Arab Chamber of Commerce (BUSACC) on our biannual business development mission to three GCC countries; the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar, and onward to the North African State of Libya. The delegates had the opportunity to showcase their products and services to a region with a combined GDP of nearly $1.5 trillion.

Though the business objectives of the delegates varied in nature, all participants in the business mission took away the experience of meeting with some of the most influential business leaders and government officials in their respective countries.
