"We are very excited about the prospects offered by Index Dubai. The UAE's reputation for creating opulent environments has strategically positioned us to gain a significant share of the commercial and residential luxury interiors market; this event provides the perfect platform for us to introduce our services to an even broader regional audience. Especially as Index has blossomed into the region's top interior design event."
The comprehensive coverage of Index has transformed it into a premier industry event. The show welcomed 1,690 corporate exhibitors from 56 nations to 35,700 sqm of sold exhibition floor space in 2007, with 119 nations represented in total. UAE exhibitors alone were at 199, with a total of 20,741 UAE visitors attending the event. The current version highlights products and services under eight core product categories, thus encouraging crossover purchases and providing a complete buying and specifying chain.
From an initial focus on high-end residential and commercial interior design, UDI has expanded into the highly competitive luxury commercial interior design. The luxury interiors specialist maintains productive partnerships with more than 100 domestic and international sub-contractors to serve prominent personalities, Ministries and major property developers in the UAE. UDI's service portfolio ranges from individual projects to contracts with diverse high-profile organizations such as the Family Development Foundation, the Higher Colleges of Technology and the Emirates National Centre for Education. The company has recently obtained Platinum Partnership from Interior Design Society (IDS), a prestigious US-based independent interior design organization, as privileged Industry Partner.
