Dubai International Chamber Organises Meetings To Propel Global Expansion Of Local Companies

The Dubai International Chamber, a key component of Dubai Chambers, has been instrumental in fostering the growth and expansion of companies within the emirate through its innovative 'New Horizons' initiative. This year, the initiative has made significant strides by organizing over 1,800 bilateral business meetings and spearheading seven trade missions and delegations across 11 markets spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe. Notable markets explored include Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Rwanda, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, and Nigeria. This initiative aligns with the goals of the 'Dubai Global' initiative, which is dedicated to unlocking economic and trade opportunities for Dubai-based companies in 30 priority markets worldwide.

Through its comprehensive approach, the Dubai International Chamber connects companies with essential stakeholders and potential business partners in these targeted countries. By facilitating trade missions and events, it provides companies with critical economic data, strategic market insights, regulatory information, and guidance on establishing a business in these countries. The 'New Horizons' initiative has notably supported the expansion of 77 companies into global markets this year alone, marking a staggering 756% increase compared to the previous year.

The initiative's success is further highlighted by its organization of roadshows to Central Asia, East Africa, and West Africa, along with trade delegations to international exhibitions in cities such as London, South Africa, Hong Kong, and Germany. Building on the achievements of the 'In Focus' initiative, 'New Horizons' offers detailed briefings on business opportunities and strategies for market entry in targeted countries. The overarching aim is to bolster Dubai's status as a premier hub for international business and trade. This contributes significantly to the sustainable growth of the national economy and enhances the private sector's role in economic development.

Overall, the 'New Horizons' initiative by the Dubai International Chamber stands as a testament to Dubai's proactive approach in fostering global trade relations and supporting local companies in their international expansion efforts. By providing valuable resources and facilitating meaningful connections, it plays a crucial role in advancing Dubai's economic diversification and global trade ambitions.
