Please join the U.S. Chamber's U.S.-Syria Business Initiative for the official launch of the Syria Investor Guides — a comprehensive resource intended to support U.S. companies navigating investment opportunities across key sectors of Syria's emerging economy. The Investor Guides were developed by Creative Associates International in partnership with Karam Shaar Advisory Limited and funded by the U.S. Department of State.  

Why You Should Attend:

  • Engage with U.S. and Syrian government officials: A high-level panel will offer candid insights into Syria's investment climate, policy priorities, and the pathways available for U.S. companies across key sectors.
  • Access practical, sector-specific guidance: The Syria Investor Guides cover Banking, Energy, Telecommunications, Real Estate & Construction, and more, equipping companies with the tools to assess and pursue opportunities on the ground.
  • Connect with a growing community of stakeholders: A reception will follow the program, offering the opportunity to network with U.S. and Syrian officials, business leaders, and others engaged in Syria's economic transition.
