São Paulo – A conference in Tunisia should discuss investment in the Arab world, mainly in countries that recently lived social protests and government change. The 15th edition of the Conference for Arab Businessman and Investors will focus on theme "Arab Investment under Current Changes" and should take place on Monday (14) and Tuesday (15) at Hotel Le Palace, in the Tunisian capital.
The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce will be represented by CEO Michel Alaby, who will follow the talks. According to the executive, themes to be discussed will include business opportunities in the Arab countries and projects will be presented to investors.
