Seminar: Business Opportunities in Muslim Countries with the Islamic Development Bank Group

You are undoubtedly familiar with international financial organisations such as the World Bank, the African Development Bank and the European Investment Bank. But what about the Islamic Development Bank (IDB)? And are you aware that the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), a multilateral organization affiliated with the IDB Group, has its finger on the pulse of the private and public sector and can provide companies with information about opportunities for collaboration in the framework of projects that are in the pipeline in the Arab world?

If you want to learn more about the IDB and ICD and what they can do for your company, you are most welcome to join us for the seminar “Business Opportunities in Muslim Countries with the Islamic Development Bank Group” which is being organized by BECI in collaboration with the ABLCC and with the support of Brussels Invest & Export and AWEX on the 4th of December in Brussels.

A multi-sectoral economic mission to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman will take place from 14 until 21 March 2014 under the chairmanship of HRH Princess Astrid, Honorary Chairman of the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency (ABH-ACE). The mission is organized by the ABH-ACE in close cooperation with the regional foreign trade agencies AWEX, BIE and FIT.

• Cleantech, renewable energy and environmental technologies
• Health care (medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology)
