Dubai Chambers held a roadshow in Shenzhen and Guangzhou to deepen cooperation with 18 Chinese entities spanning government bodies, chambers of commerce, and trade and investment promotion organizations. The meetings focused on strengthening institutional ties and advancing bilateral trade and investment.

The delegation presented Dubai’s advantages as a global hub for commerce and capital, emphasizing its role as a gateway for companies from China’s Greater Bay Area seeking international expansion. Officials outlined the support available to Chinese firms establishing operations in Dubai and highlighted how Dubai International Chamber’s network of overseas offices helps Dubai-based companies expand abroad.

Talks also addressed collaboration across strategic sectors and previewed opportunities to be presented at the Dubai Business Forum - China, scheduled for May 14, 2026, in Shenzhen. The forum will introduce Chinese businesses to investment prospects linked to the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33).

Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, said the organization aims to build on longstanding economic ties with China and foster partnerships that support growth in trade and investment.

The Shenzhen forum will be the fifth international edition of the Dubai Business Forum and the second held in China. The city was selected for its leadership in the digital economy and technology, aligning with the forum’s focus on cross-border collaboration and global market access.
