Rakez Roadshow In Brazil Showcases Expanding Business Opportunities In The UAE

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) recently completed a successful roadshow in São Paulo and Joinville. This event aimed to strengthen ties with Brazilian businesses and highlight the benefits of expanding into the UAE and the wider MENA region. The RAKEZ team engaged with companies from various sectors, including construction, automotive, food and beverage, pulp and paper, and building materials.

During the roadshow, RAKEZ emphasised Ras Al Khaimah's strategic location as a hub for accessing markets in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. They showcased the ease of doing business and cost-effective solutions available in the emirate. The team also targeted key business councils and industry associations to maximise outreach and build strong connections with Brazilian enterprises seeking expansion opportunities.

Brazilian companies are increasingly exploring high-growth markets beyond their traditional routes within the Americas. The UAE has become Brazil's second-largest trade partner in the region, with bilateral trade exceeding US$4.3 billion in 2023. This growing economic relationship is encouraging more Brazilian firms to consider expansion opportunities in the UAE.

Ramy Jallad, Group CEO of RAKEZ, commented on the roadshow's success: "Brazil and the UAE share a strong and growing economic relationship, opening doors for greater collaboration. Many Brazilian companies are now looking beyond traditional markets for expansion, and Ras Al Khaimah presents a compelling opportunity with its cost-effective, business-friendly environment and strategic access to high-growth regions."

The roadshow played a crucial role in solidifying connections with industry leaders from Brazil. It highlighted Ras Al Khaimah's competitive advantages as a business hub. With an increasing number of companies having Brazilian shareholders, interest in the emirate continues to grow.

RAKEZ has long been committed to engaging with Brazilian businesses. This latest roadshow further strengthened relationships by showcasing tailored solutions that support global ambitions. Ramy Jallad added, "Through this roadshow, we engaged with key industry leaders, demonstrating how RAKEZ’s tailored solutions can support their global ambitions."

RAKEZ remains dedicated to facilitating international business expansion by exploring new markets worldwide. The organisation aims to foster opportunities for collaboration across different regions. By positioning Ras Al Khaimah as an attractive destination for businesses looking to diversify their global footprint, RAKEZ continues to enhance its reputation as a leading economic zone.
