Federation Profile
The International Federation of Arab Businessmen and Investors Abroad is an independent international economic organization established in 2015. It brings together a distinguished group of businessmen, investors, and company owners, and works to build an effective economic network that connects local and international markets, supports cooperation opportunities, and creates new prospects for investment and trade exchange at both the Arab and international levels.
The Federation enjoys a documented institutional status through official documentation with the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Investment, reflecting its legal and economic presence as a documented international entity.
The Federation extends its presence through branches and representative offices in a number of countries, including Kuwait, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Iraq, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Côte d’Ivoire, Syria, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, with ongoing plans for expansion and the establishment of new branches in additional countries.
The Federation possesses a regional presence through representative headquarters, including the Regional Headquarters for West African Countries, the Regional Headquarters for the Arab Maghreb Countries, and the Regional Headquarters for Western European Countries, reflecting an economic and institutional extension that goes beyond the local scope to a broader Arab and international presence.
The Federation works through this extension to create effective communication opportunities between businessmen, markets, and relevant entities, opening broader avenues for investment and trade exchange within Egypt and abroad.
