Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce

Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce All Irish exporters to the Arab markets are clients of our Chamber and they rely on our unique services to underpin their business in the region.

Helping Irish businesses and individuals with export documents, personal documents, educational certificates, legalisation and trade connections across the Arab world. The Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1987 to promote and support the growth and development of trade and commercial relations between Ireland and the Arab countries. The Chamber was established under the auspices of the

General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture which is part of the Arab League and which has its headquarters in Beirut. We fulfil our mission through the delivery of a range of unique services to Irish exporting companies and through the provision of information, advice, introductions, connections and business leads to companies in Ireland and in the Arab markets. The Arab markets collectively are the most important trading block for indigenous Irish exporters outside of Europe and North America, and their significance grows year by year. They are attractive markets for Irish exporters for various reasons: they import many of the products and services which Irish companies can supply competitively; they have considerable resources to fund their imports; their rising population causes demand to grow year after year - and they are not far away. Key among these services are the provision of our AICC Certificates of Origin as required by the Arab countries; the Certification and Legalisation of all types of commercial documents; the delivery of a technical translation service to and from Arabic, and assistance with visas where required. Our Chamber also organises various events throughout the year to welcome visiting delegations, to deliver important information, to mark special occasions and to facilitate networking and interaction between our members and clients. You are invited to explore our website for further details about our services and activities. And please make contact with us if we can be of service to you in any way.

Saudi Arabia continues to strengthen its position as one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing digital economies.

Uber’s proposed $14.8 billion acquisition of Delivery Hero would bring HungerStation, one of the Kingdom’s leading food delivery platforms, under its ownership, highlighting the continued growth of Saudi Arabia’s technology, logistics and e-commerce sectors.

For Irish businesses looking to expand into the Gulf, the deal signals continued investment and opportunity across food, retail, digital services and logistics.

Over one week on, we’re reflecting on an insightful discussion hosted by the Arab Irish Chamber of Commerce.
One message stood out above all others:

“The war will end, but relationships won’t.”

In a changing global trading environment, trust, resilience and long-term partnerships remain at the heart of international business.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us for such an engaging and thought-provoking event. We look forward to welcoming you to future AICC events.

The Arab Irish Chamber of Commerce was delighted to host 'Doing Business in a Time of Geopolitical Uncertainty,' bringing together exporters, policymakers and business leaders to explore how Irish companies can navigate an increasingly complex global trading environment.

The discussion reinforced that while supply chains, logistics and market conditions continue to evolve, demand for Irish goods remains resilient across key Gulf markets. Success will depend on strong partnerships, informed market strategies and a long-term commitment to the region.

A sincere thanks to our keynote speaker, Martin O’Brien, Head of Monetary Division at the Central Bank of Ireland; panellists Anita Thomas, Country Manager Ireland at Emirates, Jim Healy, CEO of NuLumenTek, entrepreneur Michael Connolly, Desmond Hurley of Lakeland Dairies, and Edward O' Regan of Blackwater Partners; and today's moderator, Dave Burke of BUSINESS PLUS Talks.

The event featured perspectives from business leaders across finance, manufacturing, agriculture and international trade, highlighting that resilience, adaptability and trusted relationships remain the foundations of sustainable export success. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to an excellent discussion.

Saudi Arabia’s trade surplus more than doubled in April 2026, while non-oil exports continued to grow as the Kingdom pushes ahead with economic diversification.

One standout figure was a 70% increase in machinery and electrical equipment exports, reflecting significant industrial investment and activity.

For Irish exporters, it’s another sign of the scale of opportunity in a market that continues to invest, grow and diversify across multiple sectors.

🌍 Thinking about entering a new export market?
Three things to consider:

1️⃣ Is there long-term demand?
The Arab region imports close to 90% of the goods it consumes.

2️⃣ Have you built strong local relationships?
Trusted partnerships can be critical to success.

3️⃣ Is your supply chain prepared for disruption?

Flexibility matters in today’s trading environment.
Irish exports to the Arab region exceeded €3.1 billion in 2025, highlighting the scale of opportunity for businesses looking to expand internationally.
