2012 Australia Arab Business Forum & Expo

Australia's only conference promoting trade and investment between Australia and the Arab world 

Tuesday 5th - Wednesday 6th June, 2012

Hear about the opportunities to grow business between Australia and Arab countries 

Learn about new markets - just one new idea gleaned will return multiple benefits and profits 

Connect with people who can provide you with contacts and networks

Networking with key business and government representatives from Australia and the Middle East will be one of the opportunities available at the 2012 Australia Arab Business Forum & Expo.


More than 300 delegates will attend the Forum to be held at Sydney's Sheraton on the Park on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th June.

"We have a broad representation of businesses and key people from government attending who will be sharing knowhow and contributing to larger networks," says Mr Ray Najar, National Chairman of the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AACCI).

"The Forum has the strong support of the General Union of Arab Chambers whose members will be in Sydney for this major event."

"We have attracted speakers who are among the most influential people in government and business in Australia and the Middle East."

"They will be looking to connect people with counterparts in business and provide assistance wherever they can," Says Mr Najar, co-author of Australia & the Arab World, published by the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies & Research.

"There are large and growing opportunities in Australia and the Middle East for all types of businesses."
"From markets for agribusiness and food, infrastructure and construction to education and finance, there is a range of markets at all levels where there are opportunities for business."

As an example, Mr Najar pointed to the market potential created by the 23,000 Arab students currently living in Australia.
