Executives from three leading Chinese companies, which have benefited from the Dubai International Chamber's support in expanding their operations in the Middle East and Africa, emphasized that Dubai offers significant business opportunities and has earned the trust of the Chinese business community due to its crucial position on the global business stage.
To enhance economic ties and foster partnerships between Dubai and China, Dubai Chambers is organizing the Dubai Business Forum – China from August 21st to 22nd. This event aims to showcase the diverse investment and business opportunities in Dubai, attract multinational companies, unicorns, and rapidly growing startups from China, and facilitate partnerships between Chinese investors and Dubai businesses, while promoting trade and regional investments.
Gavil Fang, CEO of Meorient, the first exhibition company listed on China’s stock exchange and the organizer of the annual China Homelife Dubai Exhibition, stated, “Dubai is undeniably the exhibition capital of the Middle East and key markets in Asia and Africa. It is the ideal trade hub for Chinese companies aiming to expand into the MENA region. Its strategic location offers unparalleled global market access, and our partnership with Dubai Chambers has been crucial in helping us navigate market trends and evolving trade dynamics.”
Alex Yang, co-founder and COO of Tuya Smart, a global cloud platform service provider that expanded into Dubai last year, noted, “Dubai has developed an inclusive and collaborative industry ecosystem that fosters innovation. The Smart Living and ESG principles in the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) align with Tuya’s values, reinforcing our commitment to Dubai. We believe Dubai has the potential to lead in AI development, set industry benchmarks, and establish best practices globally, and we are grateful for Dubai Chambers' support as we embark on this journey.”
Dr. Jusong Xia, President of International Business at United Imaging Healthcare, highlighted that “Dubai offers efficient registration processes for the healthcare industry, along with supportive policies and a favorable business environment, which were key factors in our decision to establish our regional headquarters in MENA in Dubai.”
Dr. Xia emphasized the importance of the relationships they've established in Dubai, stating that these connections have been vital to their expansion efforts and will play a key role in their future investments in research and development, as they push for healthcare innovation. He also expressed anticipation in utilizing the resources and opportunities provided by Dubai Chambers to strengthen their presence and operations both regionally and globally.
Under the theme "China, Dubai, and Beyond: Igniting Global Trade and Investment," the Dubai Business Forum – China will bring together public and private sector partners from Dubai and China to explore ways to deepen cooperation, enhance bilateral relations, and take advantage of the opportunities presented by the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The event will focus on emerging opportunities in key sectors, including green technology, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and renewable energy.
Dubai International Chamber, as part of its expanding global network of 31 international representative offices, currently operates three offices in China located in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. These offices are vital in boosting trade and investment between China and Dubai, as well as supporting Dubai-based companies in expanding into the Chinese market.
