Dubai will host an India-UAE Partnership Summit on January 23-25.
Jointly organised by International Business Linkage Forum (IBLF) and Dubai International Chamber, the meet is aimed at promoting business relations between the countries.
The three-day summit is to discuss several issues, including trade opportunities between India and the UAE, with a deep dive into a number of sectors such as manufacturing, startups, healthcare and food processing.
UAE-India bilateral relations
The summit will feature a number of keynotes and panel discussions and bring together leading business and government speakers from both countries’ public and private sectors to discuss strategic issues and trends influencing the future of trade and economy.
It will also discuss UAE’s Golden visa scheme and its prospects for entrepreneurs and investors alike.
It will also present success stories from businesses that have set up and thrived in Dubai.
The summit follows a rise in business interest between the two countries on the back of the CEPA agreement and the announcement of Golden visas in the UAE.
The summit is also in line with the chambers’ priority of attracting foreign companies into the emirate and helping Dubai businesses expand internationally.
India is the world’s fifth-largest economy and was the second-biggest trading partner to the UAE in 2021.
Being the first country to sign a bilateral trade agreement with the UAE, India is integral to the country’s economy and is home to 3.5 million Indian citizens, making up 30 percent of the UAE’s population.
Inaugurated in 2018, Dubai International Chamber’s international office in Mumbai continuously engages with businesses in the UAE and India to share market intelligence and promote opportunity sectors for both sides to grow their international presence.
The office supports the Dubai and India business communities through B2B meetings, trade missions, networking events, buyer-seller meetings and brainstorming with businesses on their plans for both markets.
