Dubai: Dubai Exports, the export promotion agency of Dubai Economy, has announced its strategic plan for the year 2020 including a variety of events and outreach programmes aimed to boost exports as well as re-exports through Dubai and expand the global footprint of products and services from Dubai. The plan reflects the strategic focus of Dubai Exports on accomplishing the leadership’s vision and directives to reinforce Dubai as an internationally competitive export as well as re-export hub and develop exports into a key contributor to the economy of Dubai and the UAE.

The plan was announced at the Exporters’ Forum hosted by Dubai Exports recently. Participants at the Forum included local businesses that have chosen Dubai and the UAE as their operations hub and contributed to develop exports out of Dubai while performing remarkably and achieving optimal customer satisfaction through innovative initiatives.

Diversifying export markets for local businesses will remain the prime focus of the Dubai Exports strategy in 2020. With 23 events including trade missions and exhibitions lined up for the year, Dubai Exports will strengthen its support services to UAE exporters in penetrating new markets and establishing productive partnerships.

The 2020 calendar follows an eventful 2019 during which Dubai Exports took exporters from the UAE to 10 exhibitions and three trade missions in different international markets. Altogether, 675 B2B meetings were also facilitated by Dubai Exports during the past year enabling local exporters and potential buyers internationally to explore trade partnerships.

It will enable Dubai Exports to take advantage of varied channels to successfully explore new markets and highlight the export competitiveness of Dubai.”
