ITPCC Program

The first International Trade Meeting between Croatian companies and companies in the UAE was held from 27 to 29 October 2014, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai (UAE). The first ITPCC is just the beginning and the announcement of the future meetings between decision makers at a high level (owners, directors, CEOs) from Croatian companies and companies from UAE, as well as GCC (Arabian Gulf countries) and MENA (Middle East and North Africa).

ITPCC is a project conceived and carried out by a Consortium made up of three companies: Arabco Projects (CRO), 5Brothers Group Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Sales Mena Dubai (UAE), which have extensive experience in international trade. The main objective of this program is to enable Croatian companies an easier and more efficient access to the world’s fastest growing market – the countries of the Arabian Peninsula (GCC).

The advantage of such unique approach in comparison with other international trading programs is the focus on the possibilities and results of bringing the decision makers at the same table with all the information and tools needed to make decisions.

Services of the Consortium include market analysis and research capabilities, ensuring contacts with leading companies in the market, a high level of B2B meetings, organizing visits of trade delegations, legal services and local representation.

During the first ITPCC Croatian companies had more than 30 high-level meetings that resulted in the continuation of the preparation of all necessary procedures for the conclusion of the contract. The first official day began with the introduction to the best practise for establishing a business in the UAE market. The presentation was held by Founder & CEO of Sales Mena, Mr. Alaa Ismail. After Mr. Ismail, an extremely interesting and useful presentation on the topic of UAE and GCC market potential held a board member of 5Brothers Group, Mr. Ahmed Al-Bayit. In addition to three days of intensive and successful business activities, representatives of Croatian companies were invited to a welcome reception at the private residence of Mr. Seed Al Hemeiri, Founder and Chairman of 5Brothers Group, for introduction where they expressed the desire to further develop business relationships and were welcomed and honored with a dinner prepared in the traditional way. Representatives of Croatian companies have expressed their delight and gratitude for hospitality and hope that in the coming period in Croatia they will have an opportunity to return the favor.

During ITPCC in Abu Dhabi a mutual partnership agreement between companies that make up the Consortium (Arabco Projects, 5Brothers Group, Sales Mena) was officially signed.
