The U.S. mission involved 11 American companies: Anitas International; Capitol Hill Building Maintenance Inc.; Diversified Trade Co. LLC; Edward E. Vickers and Associates; E's & Associates; Human Resources Consulting Network Inc.; Nova Research; Rita L. Ferral Consulting; Royal Soap Co. Inc.; Tyres 2000 Limited; and USA East Associates. The industrial, real estate, health services, manufacturing and technology sectors were represented within the delegation.

Discussions centered on business opportunities for U.S. companies in the Egyptian market and the key role of women in business today. Each delegate discussed her personal experiences in establishing businesses and shared with the audience her aspirations for the future.

The American Business Development Mission, the first trade mission of its kind in the region, began a tour of the African continent in Cairo on October 1. The mission was led by the director general of the U.S. Commercial Service and supported by the Commercial Office of the U.S. embassy in Cairo.
