Business Councils are groups that represent companies and investors from different markets that operate in Dubai. These councils work closely with the Dubai Chamber to increase trade and investment between Dubai-based businesses and companies from the markets they represent. Their work is essential in building strong and lasting economic partnerships.
The goal of the roundtable was to share the details of the D33 agenda, discuss the ways it will support Dubai’s growth, and look at how the private sector can contribute more to the economy. The discussion also focused on how Dubai’s business environment can be improved to benefit businesses and investors.
This meeting was an important step in helping all businesses understand the ambitious targets set by the D33 agenda and how they can be part of Dubai’s bright economic future.
