The Middle East Business Group (MEBG) formed under the auspices of the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), was launched in March 2007 with Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong and His Highness Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Bahrain as the Guests-of-Honor and witnesses.

As Singapore’s apex business chamber, SBF champions the interests of the business community in trade, investment and industrial relations. The SBF-MEBG will serve as a platform between the business communities in Singapore and those in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by providing networking opportunities and acting as a broad base facilitator. SBF-MEBG has especially made headway and paved the road for Singapore companies in the MENA region and has also assisted companies from the MENA region to successfully reach out to the Singapore business community.

MEBG brings together both the public and private sectors to create higher levels of synergy. Illustrious political leaders act as MEBG’s advisors while prominent businessmen chair the group. This public-private partnership boosts the strength of MEBG as it forges ahead to bring together the business communities in Singapore and MENA region.

SBF-MEBG's VISION is to seek to be a premier representative and platform for exchange between both Singapore and MENA-based companies in their commercial pursuits. MEBG’s MISSION is to facilitate trade and business opportunities between Singapore and MENA-based companies and its GOAL is to create a platform to enable businessmen to source for potential partners and projects and to be a useful information hub.
