Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry is embarking on an ambitious program to further support the local business community and promote Dubai as a world-class destination for trade.
Among a string of new initiatives aimed at maximizing the DCCI's role in the new millennium are plans to create new Business Groups to better represent the interests of a wide variety of Dubai's leading economic sectors.
It was announced at a press conference today that seven new Business Groups are currently in the development stage, catering for business areas as diverse as healthcare equipment and land transport. The first Business Group open meeting, dedicated to foodstuffs trading, is scheduled for October 8.
Among the new Business Groups being planned are groups for foodstuffs trading; printing and publishing; land transport; food and beverages manufacturing; building materials trading and manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and hospital equipments; and for organizers of exhibitions and conferences. Full implementation is expected to take up to six months.
One of the Chamber's top priorities will be to conduct micro and macro-economic research and issue detailed reports on the socio-economic environment in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as well as sector-specific and product-specific reports. — (menareport.com)
