29th Arab-German Business Forum

Beyond Transformation:

Intelligence, Innovation, and Impact

At a time when technology, markets, and global dynamics are transforming at unprecedented speed, Arab-German economic relations remain a cornerstone of stability, innovation, and shared progress. What distinguishes this partnership today is not only its long history, but also its ability to adapt, innovate, and expand into new fields that are redefining the global economy. Bilateral trade between the Arab world and Germany from January to September 2025 reached €46.2 billion, marking a 7.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting the sustained strength and resilience of our economic collaboration.

Across both regions, businesses are investing in intelligent technologies, sustainable energy systems, advanced industrial solutions, and cross-border innovation. German expertise in high-tech manufacturing, mobility, energy efficiency, healthcare, and automotive engineering continues to complement the Arab world’s ambitious development agendas, expanding markets, and large-scale investment programs. Together, these strengths are generating new momentum for growth, diversification, and long-term value creation.

For 50 years, the Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been at the heart of this evolving partnership-building bridges, cultivating trust, and facilitating economic and business cooperation across all sectors. Our annual Arab-German Business Forum has firmly established itself as the premier platform where leaders, experts, and investors drive the future of Arab-German business relations.

Marking this milestone year, the 29th Arab-German Business Forum, taking place from 17 to 19 June 2026, will convene under the theme:

“Beyond Transformation: Intelligence, Innovation, and Impact.”

This year’s Forum will offer an impact-driven program with dynamic panel discussions focusing on artificial intelligence and R&D, industrial supercorridors and regional growth, sustainable reconstruction and development, digital trust and resilience, tourism transformation and smart destinations, resilient and intelligent healthcare systems, the energy-water nexus and sustainability, and international partnerships and diplomacy. In addition, dedicated Special Round Tables and Country Round Tables will highlight emerging opportunities and sector-specific insights across the Arab region.

We are pleased to invite you to the 29th Arab-German Business Forum, where new partnerships will be forged, established business ties strengthened, and transformative ideas turned into impactful collaborations.
