Dubai Chambers Collaborates with SGS to Enhance Global Market Access for Local Products and Services
Dubai Chambers has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SGS Gulf Limited to bolster the export of products and services from local companies into global markets. This strategic partnership will facilitate compliance with testing, inspection, and regulatory standards in 176 countries, significantly enhancing the global expansion capabilities of Dubai-based businesses.
His Excellency Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, "Supporting companies operating in Dubai to successfully expand into global markets is among our top strategic priorities. Our cooperation with SGS Gulf Limited will facilitate export procedures to global markets, enhance the local business community’s potential for sustainable growth, and advance the development of the national economy."
Hakan Sebukcebe, Managing Director of SGS Middle East, echoed this sentiment, highlighting SGS's commitment to maintaining high regulatory standards. "We remain dedicated to ensuring UAE-based manufacturers and businesses meet and exceed regional and international regulatory requirements through rigorous testing, inspection, audits, and certification."
The MoU is part of the ‘Global Partnership Programme,’ an initiative launched by Dubai International Chamber, which operates under Dubai Chambers. This programme aims to attract foreign investments and support local companies in expanding into promising global markets by collaborating with world-class service providers across eight trade categories. This initiative aligns with the objectives of the Dubai Global initiative.
Through this agreement, companies in Dubai will benefit from SGS Gulf Limited's expertise in ensuring compliance with international standards, thereby simplifying operations, reducing costs, and minimizing risks. This partnership will be supported by Dubai Chambers' 31 international representative offices, which play a crucial role in achieving the ambitions outlined in the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The D33 agenda seeks to double the size of Dubai's economy over the next decade and solidify its position among the top three global cities.
