Dubai’s bustling economy provides an ideal setting for trade shows, giving exhibitors access to an affluent consumer base. Furthermore, Dubai’s culture of tolerance and multiculturalism makes it a secure venue for international business events.
Expo 2020 features 192 participating countries with pavilions built specifically to showcase their innovations, cultures and future goals within an expansive complex designed to captivate.
Economy
Dubai’s bustling business tourism sector is helping fuel economic expansion, according to a new report by trade show organizers in Dubai. Events like Intersec and Cityscape draw visitors from across the world and give security, construction and real estate industries an injection of cash.
According to DWTC’s 2022 Economic Impact Assessment report, every dirham spent by attendees at events generated over four and a half times more sales value for related sectors in the wider economy – with foreign business visitors contributing most.
The Expo is also expected to spur a surge in banking activity, such as SME lending and infrastructure investment, but bankers caution that its short-term boost won’t alleviate wider concerns about Dubai’s economy. A long-term solution lies in stimulating non-oil private sector growth such as that of SMEs; for this to occur effectively will require a transparent, rules-based fiscal framework – an initiative which key government reforms are presently working on to address.
Multiculturalism
UAE is an epicenter for cultural diversity. People from diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, and ethnicities coexist peacefully here; which was beautifully showcased during Expo 2020 Dubai’s Opening Ceremony which drew millions of viewers globally and featured international opera superstars alongside folk dances – creating an event full of inclusivity!
The goal of the Expo was to spark global dialogue through “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.” Each country featured their culture and innovation at their pavilion; Foster + Partners created a virtual reality experience highlighting humankind’s journey from nomadic nomads to space astronauts; AGi Architects showcased changemakers making an impactful change on Earth;
Alserkal Advisory’s program provided immersive experiences and artist interventions at this expo, helping shape meaningful dialogue among influential minds who could make an impactful change in society.
Safety
Dubai is an ideal trade show destination, due to its diverse population and many business opportunities for businesses of all sizes. When considering exhibiting in Dubai, however, it’s essential that your booth’s safety be prioritized; shipping via sea freight could take up to 45 days while air freight would arrive faster but at six times higher costs.
Intersec is an international tradeshow and conference series focused on fire, safety and security innovations that draws together manufacturers, distributors and dealers of this sector. Showcasing innovations across commercial security, smart home, information security, fire protection & rescue, health & safety, homeland security & policing and perimeter & physical security; it features themed seminars, practical workshops and lectures about relevant topical issues; it hosts networking events to facilitate relationships and business opportunities while providing suppliers and buyers an opportunity to meet face-to-face and do real business transactions;
Connectivity
Dubai is renowned as an international trade show hub, boasting world-class infrastructure such as high-speed internet and advanced telecommunication systems for attendees of trade shows held there. Furthermore, due to low crime rates and political stability within its borders, Dubai provides an ideal setting for both business travelers and leisure tourists.
UAE’s dynamic economy makes it an attractive venue for global trade show exhibitors. Its diverse consumer base provides access to multiple markets, creating an ideal opportunity for international companies to develop lasting partnerships in a vibrant economy.
At this expo, innovative technologies that reflect UAE development reflect artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous mobility, 3-D printing and other features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous mobility, 3-D printing and sustainability pavilion Terra drawing clean energy from 4,912 photovoltaic panels connected with 18 energy trees; it also showcases world’s first ropeless elevator for skyscrapers as well as cross-country e-bike that can travel 380 kilometers on one charge!
