Dubai / Emirates Business

The third edition of the annual UAE-India Economic Forum (UIEF) will be staged in Dubai on November 8 and 9, aimed to explore bilateral economic and commercial relations between the two countries to the next level. The UIEF is supported by the UAE Ministry of Economy and endorsed by UAE International Investors Council, UAE – India Business Council, Indian Chamber of Commerce, Indian Business & Professional Council and India Tourism.
The UIEF represents a new dawn in the multifaceted economic relationship between both the count-
ries that share a vision to project
the current $60 billion bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2020. This can
only be achieved with sustained
efforts to constantly engage the
key stakeholders, government authorities and investors in a dialogue which strengthens their faith in
the establishment.
The two-day Forum, to be held at Habtoor Grand Resort in Dubai, will bring together over 350 delegates from the UAE and India.
The UIEF will focus on the bilateral benefits of the increased collaboration in investment, trade, infrastructure, ports, banking, finance, and tourism between the UAE and India. The summit promises to provide exclusive insights into critical topics such as defense and security, tourism, banking and finance, renewable energy, and space technology.
Commenting on the third edition of the UIEF, Danish Shaikh, Head of Production and Marketing at UMS Conferences, said, “We are glad to
announce the third edition of the UAE India Economic Forum to be held at a time, when India and the UAE are shaping strategic ties across an array of shared interests. UIEF is a definitive platform to discuss and evaluate India’s economic story with the participation of top decision-makers. Our aim is to engage and
influence the people, who matter
the most when it comes to making the real decisions.”
The UIEF will highlight the complementary nature of the two economies.
