Training Future Business Leaders in the Middle East
Fact of the Day

Training for future business leaders from 15 countries in the Middle East and North Africa is being funded by the Middle East Partnership Initiative. The program will help up and coming managers and future business leaders across the region to gain management skills, network, and meet Americans with similar business interests. This program, called the Middle East Entrepreneur Training in the United States (MEET-U.S.), is one way that America is helping strengthen promising businesses in the Middle East, which in turn, will contribute to economic growth in the region.
