OABC to Host Free Workshop on Exporting to US under US-Oman FTA

partnership with the US Embassy in Muscat, the Oman American Business Council (OABC) will organize on August 30, 2023 a free, interactive webinar titled: ‘Exporting to the United States under the Free Trade Agreement.’ This session is part of a five-part webinar series designed to help businesses maximize the benefits of the US-Oman Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Oman has one of only four FTAs with the US in the MENA region, and great potential remains for Omani and foreign investors in Oman to take advantage of its benefits.

During this free workshop, participants will receive first-hand tips on how to enter the US market, sales methods, and finding leads in the world’s most lucrative market. The webinars are one component of the OABC’s multi-faceted project, ‘Spotlight on The US–Oman Free Trade Agreement: Contributing to Bilateral Economic Growth.” This program aims to enhance business relationships between the US and Oman by increasing awareness and understanding of the FTA.

The project will create the tools and resources needed to assist in growing Omani exports to the US, increasing US sourcing, supporting foreign direct investment, and ultimately creating more jobs for Americans and Omanis. As part of this project, a two-day, detailed in-person training for 20 Omani companies will take place in October this year. The webinars and two-day training are free of charge and open to all members of the community, but registration in advance is required at OABC.org/events or by emailing: info@oabc.org.
