The 2009 MENA-OECD Business Forum
Organised as part of the 2009 MENA-OECD Ministerial Conference, the 2009 Business Forum of the MENA-OECD Investment Programme brings together members of both the private and public sector to work together to : - Strengthen public-private dialogue through high-profile debates between business and government leaders - Generate new business opportunities and sector-specific contacts, and - Foster exchange and learning in areas such as leveraging technology for business, competitive clusters, or responsible business conduct
The MENA-OECD Business Forum seeks to coalesce strong private sector support for investment reform in the MENA region, and maximise the impact of business messages on MENA and OECD political leaders present at the 2009 MENA-OECD Ministerial Conference.
Main conclusions from panellists and participants will be summarised in a Business Statement released in parallel to the Ministerial Declaration. Sectors

The Invest in Med programme aims at developing sustainable trade relationships, investments and enterprise partnerships between the two rims of the Mediterranean. Funded at 75% by the European Union over the 2008-2011 period, it is implemented by the MedAlliance consortium, which associates economic development organisations (ANIMA, leader of the programme), CCIs (ASCAME, EUROCHAMBRES), and business federations (BUSINESSMED). The members of these networks, as well as their special partners (UNIDO, GTZ, EPA Euroméditerranée, World Bank, etc.), gather a thousand of economic actors - mobilised through pilot initiatives centered on key Mediterranean promising niches. Each year, a hundred operations associate the 27 countries of the European Union and 9 Mediterranean partner countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia.
