Widely recognised as the most comprehensive and long-established trade finance gathering for the Middle East, GTR MENA 2019 returned to Dubai on February 18-19, 2019. Welcoming over 800 key figures in the regional and global market, this event provided access to hundreds of companies engaged in international trade, all of whom were keen to discuss their financing priorities and the future of trade in the Middle East.

Covering a range of themes, from geopolitical tensions to the region’s many infrastructure demands and requirements, the role of new technologies and innovations to creating a thriving environment for conducting trade business, the event offered an unrivalled platform for growing awareness of market challenges, whilst a new collaboration with AFTI focused on the region’s thriving agribusiness sector, along with the vast potential for capturing trade flows between MENA and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Join us again in February 2020 for the 17th instalment of GTR MENA.

Event final statistics and breakdown will be available soon. In the meantime, visit GTR Connect for downloadable event content and more.
