The World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO) and the American Chamber of Commerce in Dubai (AmCham Dubai) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the World Governments Summit (WGS) 2026.

The MoU was signed by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of WGEO, and Sammy Bousaba, Chairman of AmCham Dubai. The landmark agreement aims to catalyse public-private collaboration for sustainable development.

The signing ceremony was attended by Robert Raines, US Consul-General for Dubai and the Northern Emirates, Waleed Bin Salman, Vice Chairman of WGEO, Abdulrahim Sultan, Director-General of WGEO and Cara Nazari, CEO of AmCham Dubai.

This strategic partnership leverages American private-sector expertise to create tangible business opportunities across priority green economy sectors. The MoU establishes a structured framework enabling companies to align solutions with green economy priorities, access emerging markets, and lead the global green transition.

Under the agreement, WGEO will provide AmCham Dubai’s member companies with access to its Private Sector Platform, facilitating policy engagement and connections with public, financial, and international stakeholders to convert global expertise into market-ready projects across WGEO’s country network.

Parallely, AmCham Dubai will engage in WGEO’s International Organizations Platform, strengthening joint participation in international dialogue and reinforcing the role of the American business community in shaping green economy policy and markets.

Connecting the American business community with WGEO’s global vision and platforms will help accelerate the green transition and generate tangible economic and environmental outcomes. This MoU represents a significant opportunity for both parties. It creates a structured pathway for American companies to contribute meaningfully to green economy priorities across international markets, while expanding their own growth and partnership horizons. Engaging in this dialogue at the World Governments Summit reflects a shared commitment to remaining at the forefront of shaping the future economy.”

This MoU with World Green Economy Organisation establishes a clear pathway for American companies to contribute their expertise and innovation in support of green economy priorities, economic growth, and environmental progress. By connecting American business capabilities with globally aligned objectives, we are helping translate shared ambitions into practical outcomes.”

Through this partnership, World Green Economy Organisation and AmCham Dubai act as a convening platform that connects American businesses, key stakeholders, and youth to drive investment, policy engagement, and long-term collaboration in the green economy.
