Dubai Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with the Ministry of Foreign Trade to host a workshop aimed at showcasing how the UAE’s Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs) are driving growth in the local services export sector.
The session brought together Business Groups from service-based industries to explore how CEPAs are opening new commercial and investment opportunities, enhancing global market access, and supporting the international expansion of UAE-based service providers.
Attendees examined the direct benefits of CEPAs, such as reduced customs duties, simplified procedures, and improved regulatory transparency. The agreements span a wide range of sectors including finance, education, healthcare, tourism, engineering, and environmental services.
Maha Al Gargawi, Vice President of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers, reaffirmed the chamber’s commitment to supporting the private sector. She noted that the initiative reflects ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Trade to help businesses capitalise on CEPA-driven opportunities.
The session also emphasised the role of CEPAs in positioning the UAE as a strategic global trade hub. By strengthening ties between government and industry, the Dubai Chamber’s Business Groups continue to play a critical role in shaping a more competitive and resilient business environment.
