Regular business trips are a precondition for developing
the market successfully. Of great importance here is the
long-term fostering of personal contacts to Saudi partners.
The best way for initially observing the market and/
or forging contacts with potential customers or partners
is to participate in official delegation trips or trade fairs
in Saudi Arabia. The Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of
Commerce and Industry is an important address in this
respect. For over 30 years it has played a key role in forming
bridges between Germany and the Arab countries.
Its main objective is to advise and provide direct support
primarily to small and medium-sized companies in
Germany and the Arab world with regard to commercial
activities abroad. This applies equally to trade relations,
services and investments.

The public funding of the Arab Chambers of Industry and
Commerce and the Arab embassies in Germany provides
Ghorfa with unique opportunities in the Arab market,
which forms the good base for expanding and deepening
business cooperations. The Ghorfa regularly organises
delegation trips for business people of both parties which
allow the participants to forge and intensify personal
business relations. In addition, Ghorfa also organises intercultural
seminars relating to communication, initiating
business deals and the underlying legal conditions in
the Arab world and conventions.
A further important service for the presentation and introduction
of companies in the other respective market
is the participation by Ghorfa in trade fairs in the Arab
world and in Germany. Companies can take part as subexhibitors
at the Ghorfa communal stand. The regular
German-Arab tourism, health and business forums are
an important economic promotion instrument for the
companies involved. The annual German-Arab business
forum is a central element and serves as one of the most
important information and contact exchanges in the
German-Arab economic relationship.
The Ghorfa provides continuous information about the
economic developments, opportunities for trade, markets
and industries in Germany and the Arab countries,
which includes important legal and political background
information. It reports about the latest economic projects
and publishes public tenders and newsletters on a regular
basis. In particular, the bilingual business magazine
“SOUQ“ has become a vital source of information for
many business people and other interested parties. The
Ghorfa homepage www.ghorfa.de supplies extensive economic
data and information in German and Arabic. The
list of links allows the users to access the data they need
quickly without fuss.
The Ghorfa provides professional support when searching
for business partners and initiating business dealings.
Its intercultural competence and personal advisory
service is a guarantee for satisfied companies. The longstanding
cooperation with the Arab Chambers of Industry
and Commerce and other institutes allow it to make
an important contribution to furthering the German-
Arab economic relations. Thanks to the excellent contacts
to the Arab consulates, Ghorfa is able to procure
visas quickly and reliably for trips to Arabian countries.
Another of Ghorfa’s tasks is to process trade documents
and take care of official formalities connected to the German-Arab
foreign business relations. The fast preliminary
attestation by the Ghorfa secures smooth handling
of business transactions with Arab countries. Ghorfa also
act as a go-between and arbitrator in the event of disputes
between business people.
