The session attracted over 160 participants from the private sector in Dubai and shared insights into trade opportunities, best business practices, and the economic landscape of the four markets. Attendees were able to explore various industry prospects while gaining insight into market-specific subtleties.  

Salem Al Shamsi, Dubai Chambers Vice-President for International Relations, noted the chamber’s continued commitment to supporting Dubai’s business community in penetrating dynamic global markets. “By using Dubai’s exclusive advantages to be a door to growth and impactful partnerships, the chamber foresees boosting foreign trade with other nations and supporting the growth and diversification of the emirate’s economy,” Al Shamsi stated.  

The event included a special presentation discussing efforts by Dubai International Chamber in promoting international expansion for companies based in Dubai. The presentation emphasized the opportunities now appearing in Angola, Mozambique, Thailand, and the Philippines.  

An interactive panel discussion after the presentation engaged audience participants on trade and investment opportunities in the highlighted markets. Ideas were exchanged on target trade strategies in the respective countries and actionable steps suggested for cooperation.  

The ‘In Focus’ sessions, organised by Dubai International Chamber, give a clear insight into promising locations for trade and investment and present Dubai companies with recommendations for areas where they can probe into their various stages of expansion.  

They also serve as a prime opportunity for introducing companies in Dubai into the chamber’s “New Horizons” initiative. It allows any business to take part in customized trade missions, attend related industry events, and effectively set up business meetings in select international markets. Such platforms aim to furnish companies with investment opportunities and pinpoints their global reach.  

Dubai International Chamber recreates itself with this triumphant opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to providing such incredible opportunities for networking in the region’s scientific community. It is in alignment with the general mission of the Chamber to provide the less developed economy of Dubai assistance in diversifying its trade. These initiatives also cement the chamber’s role in raising the status of the city of Dubai as a regional capital for international trade and investments.
