**2007 US-ALGERIA CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE SYMPOSIUM**

On February 26, 2007, the USABC, in partnership with the World Trade
Center Algiers, and the AmCham Algiers, will organize the second annual
US-Algeria Construction & Infrastructure Symposium. The 2007 US-Algeria
Construction & Infrastructure Symposium is an opportunity for US
companies to meet with viable Algerian partners active in the field of
construction and infrastructure development. The symposium will feature
several Algerian ministers and key decision-makers from the Algerian
Government.

Algeria is seeking to upgrade its infrastructure with the revenue from
the recent energy boom. The opportunities for US investment in Algeria
are real and profitable. Contracts are currently being awarded to US
companies to upgrade existing infrastructure. The 2007 US-Algeria
Construction & Infrastructure Symposium is an opportunity to introduce
and promote US company capabilities and demonstrate the superiority of
US engineering and construction.

The US-Algeria Business Council team recently traveled to Algiers for a
business development trip. During our meetings with the Minister of
Public Works, the Minister of Housing, and the Minister of Water
Resources, we learned of Algeria's objective to build airports and
tarmacs, corporate and retail space, correctional facilities, highway
attractions, hospitals, housing (economy and middle income),
manufacturing facilities, railroads, refineries, schools, sports
facilities, tourism facilities, universities, urban centers, and over a
dozen water treatment plants.

**MARCH 19-22, 2007 -- SAN FRANCISCO, CA**

**2007 US-AFRICA INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE**

On March 19-22, 2007 the USABC will host an official Algerian delegation
at the US Trade and Development Agency's Sub-Saharan Africa Information
and Communications Technology Conference. The USTDA made the exception
to include the Algerian delegation in this event because Algeria had not
had the opportunity to participate in prior USTDA telecommunication
initiatives oriented towards North Africa and the Middle East. The
Africa Telecommunications Conference will be organized by the USTDA in
partnership with the US Department of State.

The African Communications Technology Conference will feature technology
solutions in e-government, satellite systems, mobile systems,
infrastructure roll-out, wireless local loop, communication expansion
plans, telecom privatization expertise, data networking and sorting,
e-health, internet access, internet security monitoring, and
e-education. The major US technology companies will exhibit their
products and capabilities to African buyers.

In addition to African Government officials and businessmen, US
Government officials and businessmen will attend the 2007 Africa
Communications Technology Conference. In an environment of dialogue and
cooperation, the delegates will make key contacts to advance the
technology objectives set forth by each state.

**ALGERIA PAVILION AT THE FOOD MARKETING INSTITUTE CHICAGO FOOD EXPO**

On May 6-8, 2007 the USABC will host the Algeria Pavilion at the Food
Marketing Institute's Chicago Food Expo. The FMI Chicago Expo is the
largest alimentary and consumer products fair in the world. Annually the
Chicago Expo hosts over 100,000 of US visitors. This year at the Algeria
Pavilion the 2007 Chicago Marketing Expo will feature Algerian products
for the first time!

The Algeria Pavilion, organized in cooperation with ALGEX, the World
Trade Center Algeria and the Embassy of Algeria in Washington, DC, will
feature Algerian importers and exporters seeking US clients in the field
of alimentary products and consumer goods. Strategically situated in an
area of high traffic, the Algeria Pavilion will attract US partners
including wholesalers, marketers, restaurateurs, and consumers. On
January 13, 2007, the USABC hosted an information session at ALGEX in
Algiers, Algeria, for potential exhibitors and participants at the
Algeria Pavilion.
