The Challenges

Western Civilization is facing severe and imminent threats that have posed various challenges to sustain our way of life and values such as Republic, Democracy, Liberties, Free enterprise and economy, human and animal rights, and other privileges and freedoms we have enjoyed for centuries. Covid19 pandemic and the rise of adverse global powers such as China, Russia, and non-governmental actors are creating significant problems for our government systems to address these issues on their own without the support of private organizations, businesses, and academic professionals.

The Global Economy needs to have more US & EU-UK support more than ever, as has been observed by the political capital deployment of adverse global powers creating more challenges for those frontier markets from a socioeconomic perspective which makes more challenges for our societies. Simply put, when we are not there, other adverse actors fill the gap creating a wide array of current and future problems.

The Need

More than ever, there is a more significant need to create more unity among transatlantic partnerships established in the 20th Century. The governments of NATO need to start working more closely and preserving the free world lies upon a strategic and more enhanced collaboration and partnership between the US and EU-UK regardless of the policy differences that have been observed. The differences in the way the US and EU-UK have been handling matters which sometimes created turbulences has been a healthy practice as it is in the DNA of Western Civilization to have differences in opinions stemming from Hegel Dialectic and most of the time, this has resulted in positive outcomes for this partnership. 
However, today, we are at risk, and we are facing a significant challenge of our ways of life being at stake. Therefore:

  • We need to unite
  • We need to address our common problems collectively.
  • We need to mobilize private businesses and our human and intellectual capital to address issues in third countries to support our governments.
  • We need to act rather than talk about the issues.
  • We need to capitalize on our differences and resources.


The significant challenges we are facing and having the need to address these challenges together, we have established The Center for Transatlantic Economic Partnership with prominent members of our society in the US.

Our members include former senior military and government members as well as leading figures in business and economic life, who all have an objective of doing what is right and ready to create a positive impact to contribute to the well-being of the USA as well as to address national security concerns in their private capacities.

CTEP is an apolitical, non-partisan Public Benefit Company to enhance bilateral ties between USA and EU-UK in partnership with its sister organization – Anubis in Rome/Italy.

Anubis is established to achieve similar objectives with prominent members of Italian society. CTEP and Anubis will work together to leverage the combined resources and reach thanks to its founding members, to address the challenges of the western culture with practical moves and actions.

Both members of these associations are firm believers “Good Business bring good diplomacy “approach, and we believe that the practical actions that will be orchestrated will bring the governments of the US and EU-UK closer.

CTEP has a modus operandi philosophy of “Lead by Example “by taking concrete steps to achieve its objectives while providing economic benefits to its members. While conducting research and providing recommendations regarding policymaking to our respective governments, we will also launch significant initiatives to take the first step to set good examples proving our recommendations.

CTEP is not just another policy recommending think tank institute that conducts researches and publishes reports, nor merely another business association that seeks to originate business opportunities for its members. CTEP engages in direct implementation of enhanced economic building actions and solutions to ensure the growth and benefit of the populations we serve.
