The UAE free zone DMCC has wrapped up its second Made for Trade Live roadshow in the United States this year, with visits to San Francisco, California, and Denver, Colorado, as it aims to expand UAE-US trade and investment across vital economic sectors.
In an effort to maintain the UAE’s position as the leading destination for US foreign direct investment in the Middle East, DMCC informed American executives about Dubai’s distinctive, business-friendly environment, top-tier infrastructure, and the wide range of opportunities available to American companies in Dubai.
Nearly 700 US firms are based in DMCC, making the zone home to over 45 per cent of the approximately 1,500 American businesses operating in the UAE.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, stated: “Dubai has long been the preferred hub for American companies in the region. The record levels of trade and investment we witnessed last year affirm this, highlighting Dubai’s ongoing appeal to US companies due to our market size, infrastructure, trade connectivity, and ease of doing business.”
“With nearly 700 US companies within our district, we represent almost half of the American business presence in the UAE—a position we intend to strengthen as we expand our business ecosystems and explore the vast potential of sectors such as technology, AI, energy, and beyond.”
DMCC’s Made for Trade Live roadshows play a crucial role in promoting Dubai as a premier business destination. Through this series, DMCC emphasises Dubai’s unique value proposition, attracting significant FDI to the emirate.
DMCC accounts for 15 per cent of Dubai’s annual FDI inflows and currently hosts over 24,000 businesses from around the world.
