5th Dubai Business Forum · China

Synergizing for the Long Run, Win-Win for a New Journey

October 14, 2026 | Shangri-La Hotel, Shenzhen

The 5th Dubai Business Forum · China will be held grandly in Shenzhen on October 14, 2026. Organized by Dubai Chambers under the theme “Synergizing for the Long Run, Win-Win for a New Journey,”the forum will convene senior officials from Chinese and UAE economic authorities and executives from multinational corporations to build a bilateral strategic cooperation platform. It aims to facilitate in-depth alignment in trade, investment, and technological innovation, opening a new gateway for Chinese enterprises to expand into Asian, African, and European markets via Dubai as a strategic hub.

As a core economic and trade platform connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with global markets, the GREATER BAY AREA IMPORTERS AND EXPORTERS ASSOCIATION​ enjoys a profound and well-established strategic partnership with Dubai Chambers. Previously, a senior delegation from Dubai Chambers paid an official visit to our Association, during which both parties reached key consensus on establishing a regular economic and trade matchmaking mechanism, jointly facilitating Chinese enterprises’ entry into the Middle East market, and sharing the dividends of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Officially entrusted by Dubai Chambers as a China Supporting Organization for this edition, our Association has secured exclusive delegate quotas and priority matchmaking privileges for top-tier Chinese enterprises. We cordially invite industry leaders to join us at this highest-level China-UAE economic and trade dialogue.

The UAE was among the first countries to respond to and join the Belt and Road Initiative and is a founding member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Over the past decade, strategic mutual trust and bilateral trade cooperation have achieved leapfrog growth. In 2025, China-UAE non-oil trade exceeded USD 111.5 billion for the first time, up 24.5% YoY, with China remaining the UAE’s largest trading partner for years running. As of March 2026, over 6,500 Chinese companies are active registered members of Dubai Chambers — Dubai has become the #1 strategic springboard for Chinese enterprises expanding into the Middle East, Africa, and Eurasia.

This forum is a landmark event aligning the Belt and Road Initiative with Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, fusing China’s innovation and manufacturing strengths with Dubai’s global hub advantages, with Shenzhen as the connecting link — setting a new benchmark for China-UAE economic cooperation.

A Global Business Gala with Official China-UAE Endorsement

The Dubai Business Forum · China is Dubai Chambers’ most prestigious bilateral flagship event, previously held successfully in Beijing, London, and New York. The inaugural Beijing edition attracted 800+ C-suite executives from Fortune 500 companies and sovereign wealth funds.

Returning to China in 2026, the forum will be exclusively hosted in Shenzhen​ — a global innovation powerhouse and the core engine of the Greater Bay Area. Dubai Chambers will be represented by a 40-member official delegation led personally by H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President & CEO of Dubai Chambers, including senior government officials, royal family office heads, chairs of the ten major free zone authorities, and chairpersons of leading Dubai enterprises. All 600+ attendee seats are subject to a strict vetting process, ensuring every participant is a decision-maker — where every conversation holds the potential for substantive collaboration.

What Opportunities Await Your Business?

The forum will decode Dubai’s D33 Economic Agenda, focusing on digital economy, emerging technologies, advanced manufacturing, and modern logistics — unlocking real opportunities for Chinese enterprises:

Policy Incentives:​ Benefit from China’s Belt and Road outbound support policies plus Dubai free zone advantages such as 100% foreign ownership.

Global Market Gateway:​ Leverage Dubai’s strategic position to access high-growth markets across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (3.6 billion people), lowering market-entry barriers through Dubai’s mature logistics, financial, and legal ecosystem.

Top-Tier Capital Access:​ Connect directly with UAE sovereign wealth funds, royal family offices (AUM exceeding USD 100 billion), and leading global VCs/PEs for cross-border investment, M&A, and industrial deployment.

Official Post-Event Support:​ Receive one-stop market-entry services from Dubai Chambers’ China representative office — company registration, visa assistance, government-business liaison, and legal/tax advisory — solving pain points throughout your overseas expansion journey.

Synergize in the Bay, Prosper in the Gulf.

We look forward to joining hands with industry leaders on this premier platform to capture historic opportunities in China-UAE cooperation and explore new horizons in the global marketplace.
