Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, has launched the Global Expansion Series to help local businesses grow internationally.
Designed to support the objectives of the Dubai Global initiative, the series of events will create a dedicated support channel for business matching, provide timely intelligence on market opportunities and accessibility, and assist companies to expand globally through exporting and investment.
Focusing on businesses with the capability and capacity to export, the first event in the series brought together 32 companies operating in various sectors including F&B, construction, healthcare, and building material manufacturing. Representatives from partner organisations in the banking and credit insurance sectors also participated in the session, sharing details of trade finance and export credit solutions aimed at assisting companies to overcome financial barriers to engaging in international trade.
