Multi Sector MEA Mission in Iran

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.

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.

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.

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.
