Vision and Mission
In the past…
… Arab scholars presented the world peerless knowledge in mathematics and medicine, astronomy and architecture, natural sciences and philosophy. Western science and culture are inconceivable without the accomplishments of the golden epoch of the Islamic empire.
Today…
… the Arab world is rightly proud of the latest desalination plants,
the most luxurious hotels, and (in the near future) the world's tallest
building.
However: All this for the main part has not been planned, developed and
built by local professionals but by expatriates.
| Beatrix Klingel, Director |
In the future…
… nowhere will enjoy a lasting affluence without a broad based education, competent research and sufficient jobs. Education is the pre-requisite for research, research and product development create jobs and skilled jobs require life-long learning.
My vision…
… sees the Arab states making themselves, by means of independent research and the creation of jobs through their own efforts, more and more independent of Western technology transfer. Positive company partnerships based on mutual appreciation will prepare the ground for a new epoch of European / Arab enrichment and secure for all parties success, affluence and peaceful co-existence.
This vision is the basis of our mission
- We proceed strategically, systematically and energetically with the development of sustainable business relationships between Arab and European private companies.
- In contrast to anonymous Internet contacts we offer personal support and confidence building.
- Every one of our steps is judged by whether it brings us closer to the vision.
