Middle East and Africa Summit 2022

A New Era of Regional Cooperation: Driving Shared Prosperity Across the Middle East (Invite only)

-

The Middle East is one of the most dynamic and influential regions on the globe. Changes in the region, whether political, social, or economic, reverberate around the world. The historic Abraham Accords of 2020 marked a major shift toward an era of greater cooperation and coordination on a host of challenges shared by its signatories, including food security, resource conservation, sustainability, technological innovation, and international security. The Abraham Accords are also estimated to spur the creation of more 46,000 new jobs and $24 billion in new economic activity in the signatory countries over the next decade. This discussion will explore how enhanced cooperation by both the public and private sectors across the region is driving shared prosperity across the Middle East.
