DOHA/DUBAI: The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be actively participating in the upcoming 8th ICC-WCF World Chambers Congress which will be held here from April 22 to 25 at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
As an Emerald sponsor, Dubai Chamber will be representing the emirate’s business community to global business leaders while showcasing itself as one of the leading chambers in the region in light of the Congress being held in Qatar. It is also the Chamber’s chance to highlight the contemporary services offered to multinational businesses in Dubai and to meet, exchange best practices and develop long-term cooperation ties with other chamber leaders.
Dubai Chamber Director-General Hamad Buamim (pictured) said that their participation in this global event is very important as it provides a fitting platform for the chamber to enhance its cooperation ties with other prominent chambers of commerce in the world and to learn and share experiences while also discussing current issues faced by the chambers during the course of their operations.
“This also goes in line with Dubai Chamber’s strategy of expanding into global markets through the new representative offices being opened by the chamber while meeting various chamber heads to discuss business opportunities for our members and to attract global companies to set up base in Dubai. This participation will also allow us to play the role of an active member of the global organisation,” said Buamim.
The biennial global event organised by the Qatar Chamber under the theme ‘Opportunities for All’ is a first in the region and will see an assembly of the global community and their business leaders from more than 12,000 chambers of commerce from over 100 countries sharing, learning and building new networks of opportunity in the wake of the challenges faced by the leading business facilitators of the world.
The chamber’s participation is of immense significance as Buamim has been elected the Deputy Chairman of WCF for a three-year mandate until 2015, and is heading a strong 12-member Dubai Chamber delegation and will be moderating the Chamber of Commerce Brand workshop session while the Chamber’s Senior Director, Commercial Services Sector, Atiq Juma Nasib, who is Deputy Chair of International Certificates of Origin Council, is one of the speakers at the CO workshop session to be held on April 24.
