We were honoured to welcome H.E.
@MansoorAbulhoul , UAE Ambassador to the UK, at
@DMCCAuthority #MadeForTrade Live in London, partnered with the Institute of Directors
@The_IoD , and hosted by David Stringer-Lamarre
@StringerLamarre
Founded in 1903 & granted a Royal Charter in 1906, the
@The_IoD set UK corporate governance standards & professionalised board leadership.
Over 3 yrs, UAE–UK corridor evolved from momentum to maturity, with the Sovereign Investment Partnership channeling multibillion-pound capital into life sciences, energy transition, tech & infra.
At sea & on the Thames,
@DP_World ‘s London Gateway & Thames Freeport expansions are keystones of Britain’s logistics revival & UAE’s role in UK supply chains.
In the air,
@emirates &
@etihad deepen connectivity to London & regions, moving people & high-value cargo to keep trade climbing.
For physical commodities, London–Dubai bullion route underpins gold flows, while Dubai’s diamond marketplace is a global price-setting arena.
The ecosystem widens w/ fintech collab accelerating under new UK–UAE financial services frameworks. At
@COP28_UAE UAE, UK & UAE turned ambition into signed clean energy & nuclear collabs, incl. Masdar
@Masdar JV on Dogger Bank South offshore wind projects.
Education & healthcare ties deepen too—from British uni campuses in UAE to clinical & life-sciences partnerships.
Against this backdrop,
@DMCCAuthority remains the preferred base for British enterprise.
Post our European roadshows, we saw a 10% spike in new British registrations, hitting 2,212 British companies—46.45% of UAE’s total 4,762.
Of these, 1,692 operate in finance: banking, brokerage/trading, insurance/reinsurance, investment vehicles/SPVs, exchanges/market infra, & family offices.
With
@dmcccrypto ,
@DMCC_Gaming &
@dmccaicentre , we anticipate even more UK firms eyeing a transparent, secure, forward-thinking hub tied to real commodity flows & markets.
Grateful to all who contributed to the dialogue, incl. Yasmina Boubnider Kazitani MBA (
@ferielyasmina ), Co-President, Blockchain Game Alliance (
@BGameAlliance ); Tommaso Barindelli, Head of Business Development, Hawksford (
@HawksfordGroup ); & Belal Jassoma (
@Bjassoma ), Senior Director, Tech Ecosystems,
@DMCCAuthority .
In a world where narratives shift hourly, the UAE–UK partnership is written in collaboration, commodities & balance sheets. 🇦🇪🇬🇧
