A Dubai Government delegation, led by the Dubai Investment Development Agency (Dubai FDI), an agency of the Department of Economic Development (DED), concluded a successful tour of three prominent cities in Canada in a bid to explore commercial and investment partnerships for promoting sustainable and innovation-driven economic
development.
The delegation comprising officials from Jafza, Dubai South, Tecom Group, Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM), Emirates, and Emirates SkyCargo, toured the cities of Edmonton and Calgary (both in the province of Alberta) and Vancouver in British Columbia, during their 10-day mission, put together with the support of the Canada-UAE Business Council.
Members of the delegation held various rounds of fruitful dialogue with people leading innovative public and private sector initiatives across varied industries such as smart technologies, entertainment, logistics, transportation, export facilitation, agri-business, research and development (R&D), and sustainability in the three Canadian cities.
Fahad Al Gergawi, CEO of Dubai FDI said the emphasis on creativity and sustainability in the Dubai Plan 2021 makes it all the more important for the emirate to engage closely with investors and institutions in countries like Canada, known for their expertise and focus on innovations.
