Dubai Chambers Joins Forces With SGS To Support Global Export Of Local Enterprises

Dubai Chambers has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SGS Gulf Limited to aid local companies in exporting their products and services globally. This agreement will help Dubai-based businesses ensure compliance with the test, inspection, and compliance standards in 176 countries through SGS Gulf Limited’s services.

The MoU is part of the ‘Global Partnership Programme,’ an initiative by Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers under Dubai Chambers. The programme aims to attract foreign investments and support local companies' expansion into global markets by collaborating with top service providers across eight trade categories.

Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, stated, "Supporting companies operating in Dubai to successfully expand into global markets is among our top strategic priorities. Our cooperation with SGS Gulf Limited will facilitate export procedures to global markets, enhance the local business community’s potential for sustainable growth, and advance the development of the national economy."

Hakan Sebukcebe, Managing Director of SGS Middle East, commented, "Our consistent investment in various facilities and testing laboratories is designed to ensure all products exported from the UAE meet and exceed the highest regulatory standards applicable in their destination markets."

The Global Partnership Programme offers services that expedite processes, simplify operations, reduce costs, and minimise risks for members. The MoU with SGS Gulf Limited will support this programme across the chamber’s 31 international representative offices worldwide.

Strategic Expansion Goals

This growing network will play a key role in achieving the ambitions outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The agenda seeks to double the size of Dubai’s economy over the next decade and solidify its position among the top three global cities.

The collaboration between Dubai Chambers and SGS Gulf Limited is expected to enhance local businesses' ability to expand globally while meeting all regulatory requirements in their target markets. This initiative aligns with Dubai's broader goals of economic growth and international competitiveness.
