Muscat - Management from Ithraa, Oman's investment promotion and export development agency, will present at the 19th Arab-German Business Forum scheduled in Berlin 25 - 27 May 2016.

The three-day business forum will be held under the patronage of Germany's Minister for Economic Affairs & Energy, HE Sigmar Gabriel, and organized in co-operation with the General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, the League of Arab States and the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

More than 600 leading business and public sector decision makers are expected to attend the Berlin forum. The event will focus on Arab-German co-operation in logistics and transport, financial services, manufacturing, free zones, large-scale infrastructure projects, construction, housing, women entrepreneurs, as well as start-ups and small business.

Germany is the largest economy in Europe accounting for approximately 21% of the EU's GDP. Given its central European location, first-class infrastructure and excellent business climate, it is an ideal destination for Arab companies looking to enter Europe's 500 million market.

"Germany has traditionally had close trade and investment ties with Arab countries. Indeed, I look forward to participating in Berlin and presenting on the wealth of Oman's talent, infrastructure, connectivity and unbeatable investment opportunities in sectors that include manufacturing, tourism and logistics," remarked Faris Al Farsi, Advisor, Ithraa.
