Cincinnati Middle East Business Collective

Join Us in Fostering Regional Cooperation and Transformative Change

For 70 years, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) has worked across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to build relations with Arab countries and the Muslim world, pursuing a bold vision in which Israel will enjoy peace and cooperation with its neighbors. While the aftermath of October 7 has made this dream more difficult, its achievement has never been more important or needed. Now, a unique chance awaits you right here in southwest Ohio – an opportunity to utilize your business background to help foster regional collaboration and integration.

AJC Cincinnati, in conjunction with the Cincinnati JCRC is thrilled to announce a pilot initiative for leaders from greater Cincinnati’s civic and business community to participate in a multi-day, Cincinnati-based gathering alongside a peer delegation of leaders from Israel and the Arab world.

This gathering will serve as a dynamic platform to advance understanding by deepening business connections in the health, food and water security and clean energy sectors. This first-of-its-kind opportunity will further position Cincinnati as an innovator that leverages local capacity for global impact.

Objectives

During this initiative, the Collective aims to:

• Cultivate Sustainable Relationships
  Build enduring connections between leaders from southwest Ohio and the MENA region, establishing a network of exchange and mutual growth.
• Demonstrate Tangible Outcomes
  Focus on outcomes-driven relational capital to enhance the value of delegates’ ventures and foster new collaborations.
• Empower Prospects for Peace and Social Innovation
  Foster an environment that builds on emerging prospects for peace and supports innovation through strategic civic and business ties.
