About the VC to PC Topic
A fascinating and lucrative market, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can also serve as your gateway to the entire Middle East. Although U.S. companies are more attracted to the three top markets for U.S. goods -- Mexico, Canada and Japan -- the UAE has big oil reserves and plenty of money to spend on imported goods and services!

A federation of seven emirates located on the Arabian Peninsula, the UAE is a small country located between Oman and Saudi Arabia, bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. Despite its small size, opportunities in the UAE are great. What are the opportunities? What resources are available to help U.S. firms, especially small- and medium-sized companies, succeed in the UAE?

Join U.S. Department of Commerce trade expert Nancy Charles-Parker in Abu Dhabi for this informative Market Brief. After viewing the webcast and reviewing linked documents and relevant Web sites, you'll be able to better evaluate your prospects in the UAE. And, should you visit the UAE, with the drop in business travel to the whole region during the past year, U.S. business people will find the welcome as warm as the climate. Nancy and her U.S. Commercial Service colleagues in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will help you make the most of your business trip.
