Dubai UAE September 22, 2004

Forum to discuss avenues for cooperation between US and Middle East organizations for greater economic prosperity

Datamatix Group announces the “Middle East – US Dialogue Forum for Business and Economic Exchange” to take place in Dubai in September 2005. The forum will promote stronger ties between business and government agencies in both Middle East and the United States.

The scope of the annual event will encompass discussion on business, economy, technology, leadership, innovation and how the Middle East organizations can partner with the United States for their mutual growth and development.

The forum will bring together representatives from leading multinational corporations, banks, government agencies and other organizations from over 50 cities in the Middle East and the United States. The information exchanged during this conference will enable government organizations in the region to streamline their procedures, remove bureaucratic red tape and employ technology to simplify processes – all with the aim of providing better services to the citizens. The forum will provide the opportunity for regional organizations to study the inner workings of American Fortune 500 companies and how they can support their counterparts in the Middle East.

The event will feature prominent business and government leaders from both regions – US and the Middle East, presenting key note addresses at the conference.

Speaking about the event, Mr. Ali Al Kamali, MD of Datamatix Group said “The Middle East and the US have had a long-standing business and economic relationship. And there is great potential for this relationship to strengthen and grow in the future.”

“Our objective in initiating this forum is to strengthen trading relations between US and Middle East companies. We want to facilitate information exchange between governments and business organizations in both regions so that they may work together to achieve respective goals and aims.”

“We received an excellent response for our Democrat vs. Republican Debate – on the impact of US elections on Middle East business and economy. The event was very successful with former US Governors Mr. John Sununu and Dr. Howard Dean participating in the debate. Considering the success of the event, we decided to announce the Middle East – US Dialogue Forum as an annual event that would effectively address business and economic issues in both issues”

“The Middle East – US Dialogue Forum for Business and Economic Exchange will bring together business and government leaders from both US and the Middle East under one roof. It is the perfect platform for both parties to explore the business and development opportunities available through mutual cooperation”, he added.
