Digital Transformation Business Development Mission to the Gulf
Cooperation Council Region
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade
Administration, is amending the Notice published at 86 FR 21697 (April
23, 2021), regarding the dates of ITA's planned GCC Digital
Transformation Trade Mission to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, which
have been modified from October 24-28, 2021 to January 23-27, 2022. The
Department has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments and has
determined that postponing the mission is the best decision for the
health, safety, and welfare of the participants. In an effort to
provide U.S. companies with revised mission dates that work for the
majority of the stops, the optional UAE stop that was originally
offered was dropped from the revised mission schedule due to limited
resources and prior commitments made in the UAE that conflict with the
revised dates. The new deadline for applications has been extended to
Thursday, September 30, 2021. Applications may be accepted after that
date if space remains and scheduling constraints permit. Interested
U.S. companies and trade associations/organizations that have not
already submitted an application are encouraged to do so. The schedule
is updated as follows:
