Dubai-Germany Economic Forum

DCCI is organizing this Forum in conjunction with the Dubai Development and Investment Authority, the German Industry and Commerce office in Dubai, as well as INDEX, the conferences and exhibitions organizers. It will be held in an area of 2000 sq meters, which will accommodate over 500 participants.

A press conference to launch the event was attended by Mr. Abdul Rahman Ghanim Al Mutaiwee, the Director General of DCCI, Mr. Ahmed Abdul Rahman Al Banna, the Deputy Director General of DCCI, Mr. Salem Bin Dasmal, Deputy Director General of DDIA, Mr. Anas Almadani, the Director General of INDEX, Dr. Jurgen Friedrich, the Official Delegate of German Industry and Commerce, as well as various DCCI officials and press representatives.

"The main objective behind organizing this Forum is to further develop and enhance the flow of investment between Dubai and Germany, accelerate the flow of the current bilateral trade and to facilitate higher degree of contacts between businessmen in both countries", said Al Mutaiwee.

As the first initiative by Dubai in Germany, this Forum endeavors to cultivate the economic dialogue between Germany and Dubai, which is already very strong, as the UAE is Germany's top importer. Although, this initiative aims to equalize this commercial relationship by encouraging German investment in Dubai.

DCCI and DDIA are inviting small and medium sized companies in Dubai to participate in this forum to promote Dubai's facilities, products and services and the investment opportunities to German investors and businessmen. Both entities have joined forces in trying to make this Forum a success, to further affirm that Dubai is the economic hub of the region.
