Generation Future:
Emission-free electric driving.
Driving a vehicle on plug-in energy is tremendous fun and so the popularity
of electric drive systems continues to grow. Many of the models of our brands
Mercedes-Benz, smart, Fuso and Freightliner already run on electricity. Fully
electric and eco-friendly. With the broadest range of alternative drive systems
around, for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles, Daimler is truly
setting the pace when it comes to emission-free driving.

Preface
Message of Greeting
from Dr. Philipp Rsler
Economic relations between Germany and the Arab countries go back many years.
Today in a world where competition is increasingly global the Made in Germany
label has established its reputation in the Arab world for reliability, top quality and
customer orientation. German companies, SMEs and Dax-listed companies alike, are
successful on the Arab market. They make a significant contribution to economic
development in the Arab world and can offer solutions to some of the challenges
the region is faced with. They have a great deal of expertise in areas such as building
infrastructure, training and employing young people, technological knowledge
transfer and expanding the health system.
It is particularly encouraging to see that our Arab-German economic relations are
increasingly based on mutual investment. Arab investors are welcome partners for
Germany. They have had very positive experience becoming stakeholders in large
German corporations, for instance. When it comes to co-operation with small and
medium-sized enterprises, however, there still remains a lot of untapped potential,
with tremendous opportunities for both sides.
To build up even stronger economic co-operation, it is vital for German and Arab
business partners to share experience and ideas. The Arab-German Business Directory
2013/2014 seeks to facilitate this exchange. It allows Arab and German companies to
find out about interesting regions and potential business partners and start networking.
I wish all the readers of the Arab-German Business Directory every success in developing
and expanding their business relations with German and Arab partner companies.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Philipp Rsler
German Minister of Economics and Technolog y
Preface
Preface
For almost 40 years, the Ghorfa has been actively promoting and strengthening business
ties between Germany and the Arab World. We therefore organize numerous networking
events with high-ranking participants from the world of business and politics throughout the year; support our members with various services, and provide information
about important economic and industrial developments.
Our most prestigious forum is the Arab-German Business Forum, held in Berlin that
unites up to 600 participants every year. This year, it will take place from June 12th14th,
2013. Further conferences focus on health, energy, tourism, and education. Moreover,
there are events that relate to a specific country, such as the Business & Investment in
Qatar Forum, the Iraqi-German Business Forum or the UAE Investment & Business Forum.
We are particularly happy to host the Arab Women Leaders Forum in October 2013,
which will take place for the first time in Germany.
Based on traditionally strong business ties between Germany and the Arab World, we
are convinced that there still is an impressive potential for new business opportunities
on both sides. For these reasons, we sincerely hope that the 6th edition of the ArabGerman Business Directory will serve as an inspiration and provide companies with
many valuable information and new contacts.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members and cooperation partners for their invaluable contribution to achieve our common goal of strengthening
Arab-German cooperation and of growing the Ghorfa network.
We wish you good luck and success for all your endeavours and we are looking forward
to welcoming you soon at one of our events.

Algeria
Political System,
Society and History
Algeria is a presidential republic that achieved
independence from France in 1962 after more
than a hundred and thirty years of occupation. After the independence, it was ruled by
the National Liberation Front (FLN) until 1988,
the year in which a multi-party system was instituted. After a bloody civil war of seven
years, Abdelaziz Bouteflika won the presidency in 1999 and started a policy of national reconciliation and social and economic reforms.
He was re-elected in 2004 and 2009.
In the beginning of 2011, there were social and
political protest movements which were encouraged by the Arab Spring in several Arab
countries. The protests coincided with a sudden sharp jump in the basic product prices,
such as cereals, bread, fruit, vegetables, sugar,
and oil. The Algerian government reacted to
Economic Development
Algeria is a resource-rich country with a comfortable financial situation which it only
starting to take advantage of its assets. This
means that great growth and investment possibilities lie ahead. The GDP was about US$
207.8bn in 2012 and is expected to reach US$
210.5bn in 2013. The GDP growth rates for both
years amounted to 2.5% in 2012 and 3.3% in
16
in place in March 2013 to improve the investment climate and legislation. The committees
work program has two phases. Phase one consists of short-term actions that do not require
legislative procedures however having immediate effects. Phase one will be followed by a
report to the World Bank. First steps have already been taken, like the acceleration of import procedures and the acquisition of land.
Phase two will see the development of an action plan for the period June 2013 to June 2014.
The Algerian proven crude oil reserves are at
12.2bn barrels and the proven natural gas reserves at 4.5bn m. Hence, Algeria is the fourthlargest gas exporter and has the 8th largest
natural gas reserves in the world. The oil and
gas sector accounts for about half of the government revenues, over a third of GDP, and almost all export earnings and foreign currency
inflow. The dominant position of the hydrocarbons sector makes the Algerian economy highly sensitive to fluctuations in international oil
prices and in output. With an estimated 6.4 bn
barrels of proven oil reserves, Hassi Messaoud
is Algerias largest oilfield, producing more
than 400,000 b/d. The total crude oil production is at 1.5 million b/d according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Gas
fields discovered in the regions of Illizi, Gour-
17
ara, Tuat, and the Ahnet Basin and their development may increase the countrys export capacity to 85 million m per year by 2013. Also,
a new hydrocarbons law was issued, allowing
for fracking. The countrys non-conventional
gas reserves are estimated at 600 bn m. In
2011, Sonatrach drilled its first shale gas wells
in the basin of Ahnet, south of In Salah.
The public national oil company Sonatrach
(Socit nationale pour la recherch, la production, le transport, la transformation et la commercialisation des hydrocarbures) operates a
network of over 16,000 km of pipelines. Representing more than 60% of the US$ 45bn investment plan due to be implemented by Sonatrach
from 20102012, projects have been launched
for processing of raw hydrocarbons, refining,
gas liquefaction, and petrochemicals. Between
2013 and 2017, US$60bn have been dedicated to
the construction of new pipelines of which US$
25bn will be used for gas pipelines between
2013 and 2015. The refinery capacity reached
450,000 barrels per day in 2012 and will be increased over the next years. Five new refineries
will be built in the north until 2017.

Algeria
(Schma Directeur Routier et Autoroutier,
SDRA) was developed for the period from
2005 to 2025, in four periods of five years
each, corresponding to the plan periods.
Quantitative objectives in the current 2010
2014 period are to build 2,915 km of roads, 715
km of highways and another 163 projects.
Roads include 1,300 km in the south which
will open the country toward Africa, 700 km
in the plateau region and 193 km to bypass the
large cities in addition to reinforcing 7,800
km of roads and the modernization of the
coastal roads. Projects are for example viaducts in Constantine, Algiers and Mila as well
as the enlargement of a bridge in Annaba.
Besides the already announced 643 km of new
railways, another 1,260 km in the south have
been integrated in the 2013 supplementary
budget. The aim is to complete the construction and electrification by 2015. In the next
ten years, Algeria plans the construction of
over 200 tramlines in 14 cities with a budget
of about US$ 6bn. Currently under construction or planning are lines in the east of Algiers, Constantine, Oran, Mostaganem in the
north and Ouargla in the south. After several
delays, the first segment of Algiers tram network began operating in May 2011.
Airports and ports are also subject of ambitious investment plans for the modernization
and development of existing structures. The
five-year plan 2010 to 2014 includes 34 projects, covering runways, buildings and airport
related infrastructure, like parking lots. Algeria has 45 ports in service and 95% of the
countrys foreign trade goes through ports.
The 20102014 five-year plan schedules US$
6.2bn to be spent on the health sector. 172 new
hospitals, 45 health centers and 70 establishments for handicapped people will be built. In
the 2013 budget, US$ 3.8bn were dedicated to
the sector, of which US$ 1,17bn are intended
only for investments. Algeria is also planning
to develop its health tourism. To this end, US$
138 million were dedicated to the renovation
and modernization of ten thermal stations in
different parts of the country. Ten new stations have been opened and thirty others are
planned to be built. This is aimed at attracting
more international tourists.
Algerias electricity demand is growing by 7%
every year. Blackouts in the summer are very
common. Therefore, a decision on a capacity
expansion of 12,000 MW until 2017 was taken.
In 2012, electricity production was increased

for three years after the opening of the factory. This Renault Algeria Production (RAP) will
create 350 jobs and produce an initial output
of 25,000 cars per day in a first phase starting
in November 2014. Automotive being one of
the focus sectors, partnership agreements
have also been signed with Daimler on three
factories: one in Rouiba will produce trucks,
buses and mini-buses, the second in Tiaret
will produce all-terrain and light vehicles and
the third in Constantine is to produce motors for heavy engines. Around these industrial complexes, the creation of PME producing
parts is foreseen and will be encouraged.
Progress in attracting foreign investment is
also seen in other areas. The Bellara steel factory will be built as a joint venture between
Sider Co, the National Investment Fund holding 51% for the Algerian side and Qatar Steel
and Qatar mining holding 49% for the Qatari
side. It will produce and trade 4 million tonnes
of steel per year from 2017. Investment in the
petrochemical industry is progressing too, as
several fertilizer factories will be built as
joint-ventures worth US$ 5.5bn. The encouragement of pharmaceutical production is
aiming at substituting imports.
Economic Outlook
Algeria is undertaking various reforms to
shift the economy toward a more market oriented and diversified one. Although the hydrocarbons sector will remain the countrys
backbone in the medium term, industrialization and job creation outside the oil and gas
sectors are on the agenda. Improving the investment climate therefore is on top of the
governments agenda. This will lead to improving Algerias position in the World Bank
Doing Business Report where it is 152nd among
185 countries. To this end, a committee was established to dismantle hurdles to investment,
and first results were already delivered. For
many years, investment in the infrastructure
will drive growth too and absorb much of the
oil income. Especially housing, transport and
energy will witness large scale investment.
The Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry contributes to the economic development in Algeria by joining the efforts of the local chambers in promoting business activities
through assisting private companies, delivering useful information and lobbying for business interests with the government.
German-Algerian
Business Relations
Due to its vast hydrocarbon resources and its
constant need for machinery and investment
goods, Algeria is an important trading partner
for Germany among the Arab countries. German imports from Algeria were valued at EUR
1.81bn in 2012. In general terms, Algerians hold
German products in high regard. The major
German export goods include machinery, vehicles and electro technical and chemical
goods. In 2012, German exports to Algeria
amounted to EUR 1.82bn. The economic ties
between Germany and Algeria have strengthened over the last years. Since 2011, a joint economic commission exists that meets every
year and deals with all the aspects of economic relations. Currently, around 220 German
companies operate in Algeria occupying
2.000 people. It is a German company that is
building the largest factory for the production
of solar modules in Africa. And it is also a German company that is building the first solar
tower power plant in North Africa using solar
technology from Germany.

UAE
Political System,
Society and History
Unlike all other Arab countries, the United Arab Emirates operates under a federal system
consisting of seven Emirates, founded in 1971.
The countrys Supreme Council of Rulers, the
top policymaking committee, is made up of
the hereditary rulers from each individual
Emirate. Traditionally, the ruler of Abu Dhabi,
currently Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, holds the presidency of the UAE. The Prime
Minister is the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Due to their
population number and economic strength,
Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the two powerhouses of the federation.
The UAEs population is estimated at around
7.8 million, around 90% of which are foreigners. Particularly Abu Dhabi and Dubai attract
many expatriates, often from South and
South East Asia, seeking work opportunities.
Islam is the religion of the UAE and has in a
Economic Development
The UAEs GDP is projected to amount to US$
386bn in 2012, according to the International
Monetary Fund (IMF). This results in a GDP per
capita at current prices of about US$ 65,000 annually. For the years 2013 to 2017, the Economist
Intelligence Unit expects the Emirati economy
to grow by 5.2% annually. These positive numbers are also reflected in the World Banks Ease
of Doing Business 2013 report, where the UAE
ranked 26th out of 185 countries worldwide. This
is a number of a symbolic kind which stands for
the UAEs successful efforts to diversify the
economy away from dependence on hydrocarbons. A solid industrial base has been established along with a very strong services sector.
The establishment of free zones has been an important feature of the diversification policy. Reform of property laws gave a major boost to the
real estate and tourism sectors.
161
Fact File
GDP growth is supposed to reach 6.5% between
2013 and 2016 in Abu Dhabi. In order to enhance
the economic diversification strategies entitled
UAE Economic Vision 2021, the UAE is currently focusing its efforts on investments in the real
economy which directly influence the standard
of living of all UAE residents, such as renewable
energy, airplane components and manufacturing, technology, tourism and education, and expanding the countrys services sector. The major industries in the UAE are oil and gas,
petrochemicals, aluminium, aeronautics, iron
and steel, cement, ceramics, ship repair, pharmaceuticals, tourism, transport, real estate, and
financial services.
The UAE Government is also developing the
small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector as
a strategic move to transform it into a major
contributor to the national economy. The SMEs
contribution to GDP has already reached 60% in
2011, according to the Ministry of Economy.
The UAE is the worlds third largest exporter of
crude oil and, as of 2012, oil production
amounted to over 2.8 million barrels a day. Oil
reserves amount to 97.8bn barrels, the sixth
largest reserves in the world. Abu Dhabi holds
92.2bn barrels or 94% of the UAE total. Meanwhile, natural gas reserves are estimated at
214.2 trillion cubic feet, which is the fifth largest in the world, according to official sources.

dustrial Zone, the Abu Dhabi National Chemicals
Company (ChemaWEyaat) is building twelve
petrochemical plants at the cost of US$ 20bn.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) market in the UAE has been dominated in the past two years by the Phase II expansion of Emirates Aluminiums (EMAL) smelter
complex, located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
In the Transport and Infrastructure sector, construction work on the UAEs US$ 11bn federal railway project is under way as the projects first major civil engineering contract has been awarded.
By the end of 2013 the first trains will be in service in the west of Abu Dhabi. The entire network
is expected to carry up to 50 million tonnes of
cargo a year by 2030. This will be Abu Dhabis
most strategically significant civil engineering
project as it seeks to drive the diversification of
its industrial base away from its heavy focus on
petrochemicals. Central to the plan is the development of a national-scale transport and logistics network that will facilitate the movement of
raw materials and finished products to and from
industrial facilities and throughout the federation. The first phase of the new network, which
could one day be part of a network connecting
the region to Saudi Arabia and the other GCC
countries as well as Jordan and Syria, is a 266 km
long railway in the Abu Dhabi desert that will ini-

dar Clean Energy and Masdar City and is complemented by Masdar Institute, an independent, research-driven graduate university.
Through a series of projects, the Emirate is creating the worlds first carbon-neutral city of
high regional and global relevance. A further indicator of the UAEs focus on renewable energy
is the creation of the International Renewable
Energy Authority (IRENA) in 2009, with its global headquarter in Abu Dhabi.
In order to foster international business activities in the UAE, each Emirate now has its own
free zones. All free zones in the UAE are governed by the independent Free Zone Authority
(FZA) which is also the agency responsible for issuing operating licences and for assisting companies with establishing their business. The UAE
is home to multiple free zones, including the famous Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai International Financial City, and Dubai Healthcare City in
Dubai, KIZAD, Masdar City Free Zone, Abu Dhabi Airport Free Zone in Abu Dhabi, the Hamriya
Free Zone Authority in Sharjah, RAK Free Trade
Zone in Ras Al-Khaimah and many more. More
specialized free zones are planned, which will
cater to specific sectors including textile, energy, and design cities. Setting up business in one
of the UAEs many Free Trade Zones (FTZs) is recognized as an attractive option for foreign investors. The concessions offered to investors in
the free zones have led to their success in attracting a large number of companies and foreign direct investment. In turn, this success has
had the positive effect of expanding net non-oil
exports.
Economic Outlook
The UAEs future course is aiming toward sustaining and broadening economic growth, rapid expansion of the capacity of public services,
particularly in the fields of health, education
and transport, an increasing focus on research
and development and sustainability, and deepening trade and diplomatic ties with a range of
partners. Apart from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the
other five Emirates that make up the UAE are
becoming more important in terms of government spending plans in the future. Closing the
north-south gap through more investments is
a major goal of the federal governments future economic development plans. Thanks to
vast resources in its various wealth funds, the
UAEs Sovereign Wealth Funds have over US$
750bn in assets under management in 2012,
with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority
alone accounting for US$ 627bn, according to
the SWF Institute. The UAE strongly supports a
GCC-wide free trade agreement with the European Union (EU), a position that has recently
during the visit of the Minister of Economy,
H.E. Sultan bin Saeed Nasser Al-Mansouri to
Berlin in April 2013 been affirmed. Close co-
operation already exists in a wide range of areas, such as trading, infrastructure, health, education, environment and energy. The UAE
continues to pursue a free and open trade regime, signing a number of free-trade agreements within the framework of agreements
between GCC countries.
The Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce
and Industry plays an important role in the advancement of the Emirati economy, particularly in encouraging the private sector to venture into all activities related to the economic
development. With chambers in all seven
Emirates of the federation it is in an ideal position to promote and implement the continuing diversification of the UAE economy.
German-Emirati
Business Relations
Business relations between Germany and the
United Arab Emirates are excellent. Germany
is throwing its weight behind a proposed free
trade agreement (FTA) between the GCC and
the EU. The bilateral trade volume reached
more than EUR 10bn in 2012, making the UAE
Germanys most important trading partner in
the Arab world.
Around 1.000 German companies are operating in the UAE, the majority in Abu Dhabi and
Dubai. As a regional hub for trade and services,
Dubai hosts more than 500 German companies with representative offices in the city. German companies have a large share at the UAE
economy, particularly with the supply of heavy
machinery and technical equipment, technology transfer, and performance of construction
works. Thus, German companies are engaged
in the construction of power plants, desalination plants, and infrastructure projects. German products enjoy an excellent reputation in
the United Arab Emirates.
