It will bring together representatives from leading ‘FORTUNE 500' and other top corporations, banks, government agencies and other organizations from countries/cities in the Middle East and the United States to open and establish new dialogues where innovative business ideas can be exchanged. The Forum will help to initiate the steps needed to cement a sister city relationship and to find common goals. Building cross-region relationships, overcoming cultural issues, establishing a common ground to cross regional trade barriers and opening new business opportunities and potential trade partner agreements are among the goals.
