MEA will Facilitate Another Multi-Sector Trade Mission to Iran

MEA will Facilitate Another Multi-Sector Trade Mission to Iran: Following their successful February & May 2016 Trade Missions to Tehran the Middle East Association (MEA) will be facilitating a further Multi-Sector Trade Mission to Iran in September 2016.

To prevent any misunderstanding we prefer to re-publish the same announcement of the “Middle East Association”, which says:

The benefit of the mission:

• This multi-sector Mission will visit Tehran from 24th to 29th September 2016.
• Full in-market support will be available for the Middle East Association mission leaders who have first-hand experience in doing business in Iran.
• Delegates will be provided with unique networking opportunities including a vast range of introductions and high level executive meetings.
• As the mission sponsor, the Middle East Association will be directing the mission programme in-country, which will include a variety of meetings and events based upon the delegate’s requirements.

Benefits of the mission:

• The programme in-country will be led by the Middle East Association, who will organise a variety of group meetings and in addition a personalised programme per mission delegate.
• There will be a mission reception on Sunday 25th September, which will be attended by a number of high level executives. This will provide delegates with a brilliant opportunity to network with attendees of the reception and amongst themselves.
• Mission delegates will be advised and assisted in obtaining the invitation required to obtain  their Iranian business visa and are offered a specially negotiated group travel and accommodation package.
• A bilingual mission brochure will be produced and printed, which will advertise each delegate’s company and product/service to potential contacts in-market prior to the mission’s departure.

Who is this mission for?:

• Members, and non-members of the Middle East Association are both invited to join this mission.
• Mission participants must be British exporters of goods or services.  They may be a UK registered subsidiary of a foreign company, provided they are actively contributing to the British economy.

Market Information:

• Given the developing commercial circumstances and international situation, this opportunity to establish connections and make business contacts should not be missed.
• There is a positive outlook for UK-Iran trade relations and the UK Government fully supports expanding our trade relationship with Iran.
• Iran is the second largest economy in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia with an estimated nominal GDP of $397bn in 2015. It has the second largest population in the Middle East after Egypt with around 80 million people. Over 60% are estimated to be under 30 years old and the workforce is highly educated.
• EU trade with Iran currently stands at around $8bn and is expected to quadruple in the next 2 years.
