Middle East Trade Finance Week

Exporta’s Middle East Trade Finance Week, incorporating the 10th Annual Middle East Trade & Export Finance Conference alongside various stream sessions, roundtables, workshops and networking events, will be taking place in Dubai on February 17-19, 2013.

As one of the longest-running and most established fixtures on the MENA calendar, the event has built an unrivalled reputation for bringing senior business leaders together to discuss the most prominent issues impacting on the local trade landscape.

Following a period of unprecedented change within the region, attending delegates will have much to discuss, with particular focus on how such change has impacted on regional and global trade flows for some of the world’s biggest and most influential exporters. With around 300 delegates expected in attendance, including companies of all sizes and from all manner of sectors, attention will turn to how financial institutions are serving their funding needs and how they expect to cope with financing the exponential growth expected in the coming years.

Recognising the importance of face-to-face interaction when conducting business, huge emphasis will be placed on the importance of networking over the course of the week, with delegates being given the opportunity to plan and organise private meetings via Exporta in the lead-up to proceedings.

There will also be a special ‘trade finance networking reception’ taking place on February 18, allowing delegates to make new contacts and renew old acquaintances in a more informal setting.
