HE Hamad Buamim, Dubai Chamber's President & Chief
Executive Officer pointed out that under the
directions of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Dubai has become the main venue for UAE
companies seeking to expand in promising African
markets, stressing that Dubai Chamber's plan to
open more representative offices throughout Africa
is a true reflection of its commitment to raise
the competitiveness of the business community in
Dubai.

He also highlighted the calibre and diversity of
the Africa Global Business Forum's official
partners and sponsors, saying that the active
participation of these leading UAE companies
mirrors their intention to explore further
investment opportunities in Africa.

The list includes the Investment Corporation of
Dubai (ICD) as a title partner, Dubai Ports World
(DP World) as a platinum sponsor, Dubai Islamic
Bank and Nakheel as gold sponsors, Dubai
Investments and Eagle Hills as silver sponsors,
while Standard Bank and ECOWAS are official
partners.

A recent study by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce
and Industry in collaboration with the Economist
Intelligence Unit (EIU), has highlighted economic
and investment opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa
and its potential to become the world's fastest
growing region. Increase in economic reforms,
rising fiscal spending and ties with fast growing
economies in Asia have been identified as the main
factors supporting the economy in Sub-Saharan
Africa.
