Joint Middle East American Trade Center

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region offers businesses exciting opportunities in both existing, and newly opening, trade-oriented economies. Free Trade agreements between the US and MENA region, and dramatic changes in social and economic policies, offer business access to hitherto closed markets, and to millions of new consumers.

JMATC's Mission is to bring substantive business opportunities to our clients and members and develop those opportunities into tangible commercial successes.

JMATC's Method is to leverage its intimate understanding of the Middle East and North Africa, and through the "personal touch," to nurture those meaningful people-to-people and business-to-business relationships which are essential for success in the region and the Gulf in particular.

JMATC generates opportunities for economic growth, market expansion, and international joint ventures. In its quest for profitable trade, investment and partnership opportunities JMATC adds value by providing business with sophisticated international representation, which mitigates client risk, facilitates market access and materially enhances deal flow.
