Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has expanded its presence in Asia with the launch of a new international representative office in Japan.
Located in Tokyo, the office further deepens Dubai’s robust economic relationship with Japan and will facilitate the growth of business, trade, and investments between the two markets.
The office was officially inaugurated with the presence of Mr. Ishii Taku, Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry, H.E. Shihab Al Faheem, the Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to Japan, and Mr. Salem Al Shamsi, Vice President of Global Markets at Dubai Chambers, together with distinguished representatives of the Japanese business community.
The new Tokyo office is the Chamber’s 27th representative office globally and was launched as part of the ‘Dubai Global’ initiative, which aims to attract new business, investment, and talent to the emirate while enabling Dubai-based companies to expand into priority international markets. Launched by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, Dubai Global aims to establish a powerful network of 50 representative offices around the world by 2030.
Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah President & CEO Dubai Chambers
“Establishing a presence in Japan represents a significant step in our global expansion strategy and will further strengthen our shared economic ties. This move not only builds on the progress we have achieved through our international representative offices across the five continents, but it also creates an essential platform to build cross-border partnerships with one of the world’s most sophisticated economies.”
The new office will enhance and diversify the economic relationship between Dubai and Japan, exploring opportunities in various priority sectors. The Dubai International Chamber team will offer on-ground support to members of the Japanese business community interested in establishing business in Dubai, as well as build strong relationships with key public and private sector stakeholders.
The new office will also showcase Dubai’s competitive advantages and share investment intelligence to support Japanese companies seeking to enter Dubai and expand internationally through the emirate, connecting businesses in both markets with trusted stakeholders and potential partners.
Dubai’s strategic location and world-class logistics facilities have established the emirate as a preferred trade hub for Japanese companies with global ambitions. Offering easy access to over 2.2 billion consumers, the emirate serves as a gateway for businesses in Japan and the wider East Asian region looking to expand their international footprints.
