The EMA is a regional association for German businesspeople and entrepreneurs engaged in fostering cooperation and international understanding between Germany, Europe, and the Mediterranean and Middle East region. It connects economic, political, and academic decision makers and multipliers from a variety of countries and sectors. This makes the EMA an excellent platform for mutual exchange that has proven to be an independent and reliable interlocutor for the region. EMA members benefit from special services: The exploration of the Mediterranean and Arab markets for German foreign trade is a solid rock in the broad range of EMA services. The EMA presents business opportunities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fosters the creation of sustainable partnerships, and advises member companies on initiating and implementing their plans. In addition, the EMA offers regional and country-specific forums, implements its own projects, and releases expert publications and market studies.
