“Dubai’s partnership with the local and global private sector has been a key factor behind the emirate’s ability to take decisive action to ease the challenges resulting from the pandemic and drive rapid recovery. Dubai’s leadership is committed to help the private sector enhance the momentum of their growth in all sectors, including the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibition sector. Dubai continues to provide the ideal base for global companies to tap opportunities not only in the region but also some of the world’s fastest-growing markets surrounding it.”
