AUDI Director General Meets with Hanover’s International Cooperation Director and Accompanying Delegation

His Excellency Dr. Anas Mofarreh Almughairy, Director General of the Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI), received at the Institute’s headquarters a delegation from Hannoverimpuls GmbH — Hanover’s economic development agency — headed by Mr. Peter Eisenschmidt, Director of International Cooperation, to discuss potential pathways for future cooperation and partnership.

During the meeting, AUDI showcased its programs and initiatives designed to support Arab cities, enhance institutional capacities, and promote sustainable urban practices. The Hannoverimpuls delegation, in turn, highlighted the agency’s efforts in driving economic development and fostering international partnerships across multiple sectors.

The discussion also centered on potential collaboration under the Arab European Cities Dialogue Forum (AECD), focusing on connecting stakeholders from both sides, sharing best practices, and coordinating joint initiatives to advance urban development, innovation, and city improvement.

At the conclusion of the meeting, both parties underscored the importance of establishing effective cooperation mechanisms to enhance Arab European dialogues and support efforts to build cities that are more resilient to future challenges.
