Who We Are

# Built for people doing real business between the U.S. and MENA.

AIMBEC is a U.S.-based business council focused on making cross border business more practical, helping companies, investors, institutions and business leaders find the right people, understand the market and move good conversations forward.

## Who We Are

AIMBEC was created around a simple idea: doing business across borders should not feel harder than it needs to be. Companies often know there is opportunity on the other side of the market, but they may not know who to call, who to trust, how the market works or how to get from an introduction to something real.

That is where we want AIMBEC to be useful. We are building a business platform that brings together companies, investors, professional firms, institutions and market experts across the United States and the Middle East & North Africa.

We are not trying to be another organization that only hosts networking events. Events matter, but they are only one part of the work. The bigger goal is to help create stronger commercial relationships, better market access and more opportunities for businesses on both sides.

**U.S. Based**Headquartered in the Atlanta area

**MENA Focused**Programs across key regional markets

**Commercial First**Trade, investment and business relationships

Our Mission

### Advance trade, investment and commercial partnerships between the United States and the Middle East & North Africa.

We focus on the practical side of international business: relationships, access, information, introductions and the next step after the introduction.

What We Actually Do

## From interest to action

AIMBEC is being built around the parts of cross border business that companies actually need help with.

01

### Connect the right people

Bring together companies, buyers, suppliers, investors, service providers and institutions where there is a real business reason for them to meet.

02

### Help businesses enter new markets

Make it easier to understand who matters in a market, where the opportunities are and what relationships may help a company move forward.

03

### Build delegations and business programs

Create trade missions, country programs, roundtables and executive events that are built around industries and opportunities, not just attendance.

04

### Keep the conversation moving

An introduction is only useful if there is a next step. AIMBEC is designed to help companies stay connected after the meeting and continue the commercial conversation.

How We Think

## Business first. Relationships always.

### Practical over ceremonial

We want members and partners to leave with useful contacts, better information and a clear next step.

### Long term relationships

The strongest cross border opportunities usually come from trust built over time, not one meeting or one event.

### Independent and open

AIMBEC is an independent business organization. We work across industries, markets and institutions without presenting ourselves as a government body.

Why Atlanta

## Our U.S. base

AIMBEC is being built from Atlanta with a wider national and international reach.

**A practical place to build from**

Atlanta gives AIMBEC a strong U.S. base for business development, corporate relationships, travel and events while still allowing the council to work nationally across the United States and throughout the MENA region.

Leadership

## About the Founder

Ahmad Alnafaiee is an Atlanta based entrepreneur and business operator with experience across automotive, real estate, construction and business development. His background is hands on, building businesses, working with customers, sourcing opportunities, managing relationships and figuring out how to move a deal or project from idea to execution.

That practical business mindset is what shaped AIMBEC. Ahmad saw room for an organization that could sit between the U.S. and MENA business communities and be useful to both sides, not by trying to replace lawyers, banks, government agencies or industry experts, but by helping the right people find each other and creating an environment where commercial relationships can grow.

**Founder’s Note**  
“I didn’t want AIMBEC to be another organization that only makes introductions and takes photos. I want it to be something businesses can actually use, a place where people meet the right contacts, learn the market, build trust and have a reason to keep the conversation going after the event is over.”

## What We’re Building

AIMBEC is still growing, and that is intentional. We are building the council market by market and relationship by relationship.

### Country Programs

Focused business programming around priority U.S. and MENA markets and commercial relationships.

### Industry Network

Relationships across trade, logistics, finance, technology, healthcare, construction, real estate, food, manufacturing and other active sectors.

### Atlanta 2027

The AIMBEC U.S. and MENA Trade & Investment Summit will bring companies, investors, institutions, sponsors and delegations together in Atlanta on March 18 to 19, 2027.
