The Middle East Association is a multi-sector trade association that works to encourage bilateral trade with the Middle East and North Africa. Drawing on over 50 years of experience, we introduce British companies to the variety of opportunities in the MENA region, assist with market entries, and develop business networks for established companies, both in the UK and in the region. Membership of the Association offers a wide range of benefits and incentives.
The MEA Connect is our interactive member platform where we post frequent updates on the region ranging from monthly economic briefing videos, and recordings of webinars and events to market opportunities and regulatory updates. The platform allows you to connect and interact with other members on the platform, share relevant documents and media, and work on projects together.
Your MEA membership enables you to benefit from discounted access to our events; our events include trade & investment conferences with government representatives, industry experts and business decision makers. We also host business briefings, VIP lunches with Ministers and Ambassadors and informative webinars.
As a member of the MEA you will have access to our resources library which includes market opportunities and priority tenders for major contracts. The library also provides you with access to the relevant laws and regulations of the region you are interested in.
Your MEA membership gives you access to our discounted advisory services; we assist with all business queries ranging from export advise to setting up your office overseas. You will also have access to discounted rates for bespoke market research.
Your membership to the MEA entitles you to advertising discounts. You can advertise your products, events and services to a focused and influential audience with proven interests via our Connect platform, the MEA website and our monthly newsletter.
The newsletter delivers essential intelligence relating to doing business in the region; this includes regional news, tender opportunities, details of forthcoming regional, national and international events relating to the Middle East and North Africa, trade missions and partner events – all in easy to read format at the start of every month.
