BEBA was established in 1996 with 100 members. Today, it has over 700 members, covering a broad cross-section of leading British and Egyptian corporations and individuals.

Joint-Venture Chambers of Commerce
Arab British Chamber of Commerce
The Arab-British Chamber of Commerce is a not-for profit membership organisation established in 1975 under the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for the Arab Countries. The Chamber has a unique function in the promotion of bilateral trade and investment between Britain and the Arab countries. To achieve this we work in close co-operation with government ministries, official trade and investment bodies, Arab diplomatic missions in London, the British Chambers of Commerce, the League of Arab States, leading Arab businesses and Chambers of Commerce in the Arab world.
The Egyptian-British Chamber of Commerce
The Chamber is well connected to the various bilateral organisations that deal with Egypt and the UK – both in government and the private sector. It further has close ties with the network of regional Chambers of Commerce across the UK.
