4th Edition UAE – India Economic Forum

start date 24 Oct 2018
end date 25 Oct 2018,
Dubai, UAE
The UAE-India Economic Forum represents a new dawn in the multifaceted economic relationship between the amicable countries. The vision of US$ 100 billion in bilateral trade by 2020 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 and the governments of the two countries—something that the forum has been successfully doing for the past three years. The forum serves as a window of opportunities to discuss regulations and policies for prospective investors and to understand the key areas of focus for government bodies. The presence of sovereign wealth funds, large corporates and industries at this gathering has been only getting stronger over the past three years.
