Dubai: The World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO) and the American Chamber of Commerce in Dubai (AmCham Dubai) have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing public-private collaboration for sustainable development. This landmark agreement was unveiled during the World Governments Summit (WGS) 2026, under the theme 'Shaping Future Governments.'
According to Emirates News Agency, the MoU was signed by Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of WGEO, and Sammy Bousaba, Chairman of AmCham Dubai. The signing ceremony was attended by notable figures including 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 aims to leverage the American private sector's expertise and innovation to create business opportunities in key green economy sectors. The agreement establishes a framework to allow companies to align their solutions with green economy priorities, access emerging markets, and position themselves as leaders in the global green transition.
Under the MoU, WGEO will offer AmCham Dubai's member companies access to its Private Sector Platform, enabling them to better align with green economy priorities, engage in policy dialogue, and connect with WGEO's network of public, financial, and international stakeholders. This initiative seeks to convert global corporate expertise into actionable projects and partnerships across WGEO's network of countries.
Conversely, AmCham Dubai will engage with WGEO's International Organizations Platform, which will enable both organizations to contribute to international dialogues and collaborative initiatives. This participation will bolster AmCham's influence in discussions with multilateral partners, strengthening its business community's role in green economy policy and market dialogues.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of WGEO, emphasized the partnership's significance, stating, 'As we gather at the World Governments Summit to shape the future of governance, this partnership highlights the essential role of cross-sector collaboration in advancing the green economy. 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.'
Sammy Bousaba, President of AmCham Dubai, expressed his support for the initiative, noting, 'This MoU with WGEO 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, WGEO and AmCham Dubai will serve as a bridge, connecting American businesses, key stakeholders, and youth to foster investment opportunities, policy dialogue, and long-term green economy collaboration.
