Dubai Courts Korean Firms with Focus on Tech and Trade Collaboration
Dubai Chambers has introduced representatives from 25 South Korean companies to the emirate’s business environment during a recent roundtable aimed at fostering bilateral trade and investment ties. The ‘Dubai-Korea Roundtable Discussion’ was held in partnership with the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) and the UAE Embassy in Seoul.
The event drew approximately 60 participants, including representatives from 14 Dubai-based companies, and highlighted commercial opportunities in sectors such as agritech, artificial intelligence, fintech, mobility, energy, construction, and infrastructure. Organizers emphasized Dubai’s appeal as a platform for international expansion, particularly for technology-driven enterprises.
As part of the visit, Dubai Chambers and KITA signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deepen cooperation between the two private sectors. The agreement outlines plans for information sharing, delegation exchanges, and joint participation in business forums and exhibitions. The MoU was signed by Saeed Al Gergawi, Vice President of Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, and Gi-Hyun Kim, Vice President of KITA, in the presence of KITA Chairman Jin-Sik Yoon.
Al Gergawi noted that Dubai presents significant growth potential for Korean companies, including startups, especially in advanced technology sectors. He also highlighted the upcoming Expand North Star 2025 conference, billed as the world’s largest startup and investor event. Scheduled for October 12–15 at Dubai Harbour, the event is expected to draw a growing Korean presence. Last year, 152 South Korean companies participated - more than double the 72 that attended in 2023.
The roundtable reflects Dubai’s ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties with key Asian markets while positioning itself as a global hub for innovation and investment.
