DMCC targets London to attract foreign investment to Dubai
DMCC organised an exclusive networking dinner in the City of London.
The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Authority ('DMCC'), the licensing
authority for the Jumeirah Lakes Towers ('JLT') Free Zone, continues its
drive to attract foreign investment to Dubai by organising international
events, briefings and road shows.
Most recently, DMCC organised an exclusive networking dinner in the City of
London, attended by over 50 C-suite executives from leading government
bodies and finance, trade and investment institutions including Citigroup,
HSBC, JP Morgan, Rothschild, Xstrata, DeBeers, Department for Trade and
Industry UK, and the UAE Embassy in London. The event aimed to promote Dubai
and DMCC as a world-class business and trade hub, and an ideal destination
for those looking to expand their presence in the region.
Ahmed bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of DMCC, comments, "Since its
inception 10 years ago, DMCC has worked hard to fulfil His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum's vision, by providing the infrastructure
required to cement Dubai's status as a leading trade destination and making
us the Middle East's only commodities hub. The attractiveness of our unique
value proposition is demonstrated through our strong growth in the JLT Free
Zone. Since the start of 2012, DMCC has registered 975 companies; a 60% rise
over the same period in 2011 and bringing the JLT Free Zone's membership to
over 4,600 companies."
Spread across 200 hectares, the JLT Free Zone combines both business and
community living, with 61 completed towers and over 50,000 people living and
working in the free zone. |
