The team here is already busy with plans for the big GITEX trade show, happening October 10-14 in Dubai, supporting UK exporters into the Middle East and here we feature second of series on how Dubai is actively using the metaverse as a new arena for economic development.

We have already hosted our first trade mission since the summer, with 7 food exporters from Cornwall visiting us earlier in the month for a series of meetings with potential buyers (please connect with Wuraola Ogundimu) and whilst the companies were promoting all manner of quality produce, our Food & Drink expert, Wura, writes here about the growing taste & demand for non-alcoholic drinks in the region.

We also bring you an update on recent 100% company ownership provisions that were enacted in the UAE in the last few years and allow for foreign investors to hold complete ownership & control of their companies without recourse to a free zone. If you'd like to discover more, it's something we can support you with through our market-entry Dubai Incubator platform, and the team would be happy to speak and provide more details.
