DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,
Dec. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- DMCC– the world's flagship Free Zone and Government of
Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise – has announced
the successful completion of its inaugural week-long trade mission
to Kyiv, Ukraine. Officially
supported by the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and
the Ukrainian Business Council Dubai, senior DMCC representatives
engaged directly with representatives of leading Ukrainian
businesses to shed light on the commercial appeal of Dubai and promote the ease of doing business
with the world through DMCC.
The trade mission – which saw DMCC stage its flagship Made for
Trade Live roadshow event – represented DMCC's first official visit
to Ukraine, and was designed to
underscore how through DMCC, Ukrainian businesses can expand in the
region and access some of the globe's fastest growing markets. To
date, DMCC is home to nearly 200 Ukrainian companies.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: "Promoting the
ease of doing business in the UAE and driving trade flows to
Dubai is a critical part of our
mandate at DMCC – showcasing the great potential that Dubai and DMCC has to offer through such
roadshows. With over 19,000 members, our business district
continues to grow rapidly, and encouragingly, we are seeing
increasing interest from new markets. Ukraine's solid economic growth is led by a
good agricultural harvest, which is an integral part of DMCC's
focus and future developments. Ukraine's technology, IT, crypto and
blockchain scene is one of the most impressive, and fastest growing
in Europe. Sharing updates on our
technology portfolio of members as well as the rapidly expanding
DMCC Crypto Centre were well received. There is huge scope to
collaborate in these critical economic sectors and maximising this
opportunity will be the focus of our efforts going forward."
During the week, DMCC met with senior representatives of
Kyiv Chamber of Commerce, CEO Club
Ukraine, Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ukrainian
Business Council and the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP).
Strategic meetings were also held between DMCC and representatives
of UNIT City Innovation Park, the Blockchain Association of
Ukraine, Blockchain Hub Kyiv,
WTECH Ukraine, AVITAR and the Export Promotion Center of
Ukraine. The Place Group and
Quadrate 28 – both of whom are Ukrainian owned DMCC member
companies – formed part of the Dubai delegation in Kyiv.
Dubai's appeal to international
businesses as a platform for expansion, given its strategic
location and global connectivity, was discussed as was DMCC's
position as a leading commercial hub and gateway to global trade
flows. The programme also featured discourse about the significant
opportunities created for foreign businesses by Expo 2020
Dubai.
Gennadiy Chyzhykov, President, Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and
Industry, added: "We are delighted to support DMCC in communicating
the unparalleled opportunities that Dubai has to offer for Ukrainian businesses
seeking expansion in the region. Being one of the most
interconnected and fastest growing business districts in the world,
we are confident that this collaboration with DMCC will contribute
to strengthening our commercial relationship with the UAE and
result in an increase in bilateral trade opportunities. We look
forward to opening doors for businesses in both countries to thrive
and succeed."
