The presented ground-breaking construction and consulting projects underline how successful Arab-German business relations are. The Arab countries are at different stages of industrial development. Therefore, they offer a broad range of opportunities for German companies: from the provi- sion of basic infrastructure like railways and water treatment to creative architec- tural designs. The GCC’s construction market will hit a record of US$144 billion in 2016, driven by mega-projects for World Expo 2020 in Dubai, 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar, Smart Cities, and infrastructure, according to the EC Harris report “Middle East Major Construction Programmes”. Mega-projects in the GCC will reach US$1 trillion by 2030, according to the report. In Algeria, the construction of the Grand Mosque of Algiers was started. The Mosque will accommodate 120,000 worshipers/ Dr. Peter Ramsauer believers and will have a 300 meter high minaret. The project amounts to US$1.5 billion and will be opened in 2016. In Morocco, the construction of the Casablanca Grand Theater was announced. The project is part of the Greater Casablanca Region Integrated Development Plan 2015-2020. The project amounts to US$139 billion and will be realized within 36 months. In Egypt, a new administrative capital city will be built. Phase one will cost US$45 billion and shows the government’s vision for Egypt’s future. These are only some of the construction projects in the Arab world. Arab countries see German companies as reliable partners with respect to design and implementation of projects. Due to their unique and globally renowned experience and know-how, German engineers, architects and constructors have a considerable impact on the way of construction in the Arab world. Jointly accomplished projects illustrate the continuing intensiication of cooperation between Arab and German partners. Abdulaziz Al-Mikhlafi The Ghorfa Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a powerful net- work consisting of both institutional and entrepreneurial decision makers from the Arab countries and from Germany. As the competence center for business relations between Germany and the Arab world, Ghorfa promotes and strengthens business relations between Germany and the Arab countries in the ields of trade, indus- try, inance, and investment. The working group “Infrastructure, Construction and Transport” meets regularly in Germany and in the Arab world. It offers a valuable platform to share information, to exchange experiences and to facilitate cooperation. We hope you enjoy reading this book and wish you many new inspirations for fur- ther reference projects. We would like to thank the numerous German companies
