From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Europe, the Middle East and Africa, usually abbreviated to EMEA, is a regional designation used for government, marketing and business purposes. It is particularly common amongst North American based companies, who often divide their international operations into the following regions:
- The Americas, being North, Central, and South America (NCSA; Americas, AMER, AMS; or North America Latin America, NALA)
- North America, being Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico (NORAM)
- North America, meaning Canada and the United States of America only (NA; or North American Region, NAR)
- Latin America, and the Caribbean (LATAM, or LAC)
- Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). Specialized financial publications like emeafinance focus on that region.
- Eastern Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EEMEA). Increasingly, companies are separating their Eastern European business from the rest of Europe, and refer to the EEMEA region separately from the Western/Central European (mostly European Union) region.
- Asia Pacific, and Japan (APJ, JAPAC; Asia Pacific, AP, APAC; Japan, Asia Pacific Area, JAPA)
