Executive Trade Mission to Libya and Algeria

When: February 17-22, 2010
Where: Tripoli, Libya and Algiers, Algeria

Increasingly market driven economies, vast capital reserves, and ambitious infrastructure projects put Libya and Algeria among the world's most promising markets for U.S. exporters!

The Department's first executive trade mission to Tripoli, Libya and Algiers, Algeria will promote U.S. products and technologies in "best prospects" sectors, including but not limited to:

  • Energy
  • Environmental Protection
  • Information Technology
  • Infrastructure
  • Safety and Security

This mission offers a timely way for U.S. companies to gain first-hand market information, access to government decision-makers, and one-on-one meetings with pre-screened business contacts, including potential agents, distributors and partners.  

Libya

  • One of the "Markets of the Month": June 2009
  • Two-way trade between the United States and Libya has surged since the easing of U.S. sanctions in 2004.
  • The Libyan Government is making efforts to diversify the economy and encourage private-sector participation in new manufacturing and service activities.
  • As Libya moves forward with its transition, the country holds potentially rich trade opportunities in almost every sector.

Algeria

  • One of the "Markets of the Month": June 2009
  • Algeria's large oil and natural gas resources and an economy growing by 3-5% annually have generated almost $200 billion in foreign exchange reserves (more than any country in the region).
  • The United States ranks as Algeria's largest bilateral trading partner in the world. As in Libya, demand for infrastructure products and technologies is on the rise.
