DMCC on Monday announced that the Scottish Business Network (SBN), an international membership organisation for Scottish entrepreneurs and business leaders, will open its representative office in Dubai in DMCC’s Free Zone.
The announcement was made during the close of the Scottish International Week (SIW), a joint venture between the Institute of Directors in Scotland and SBN. The SIW held 50 events across 12 locations in Scotland and comprised peer lead events with the aim of promoting UK-wide and international opportunities for Scottish businesses from every sector in the economy.
James Bernard, Director of Sales at DMCC, attended SIW and discussed the opportunities Dubai has to offer and the benefits of setting up in the DMCC Free Zone. The UAE is Scotland’s 11th largest export market with direct Scottish exports totalling over GBP1 billion. A growing number of Scottish firms had a long base in UAE, and a number of Scotland firms have received Emirati private and institutional investment.
