The UAE Ministry of Economy is glad
to be a patron of Global Trade
Development Week 2015, and we look forward
to welcoming international trade, investment and
economic development leaders, to the UAE this
October, for this mega global trade event and the
concurrent exhibition.
The theme for GTDW2015 is ‘Innovation in Global
Trade and Economic Development’. This is highly
significant to the UAE, as in 2015 we will be taking
forward our National Innovation strategy. We
encourage global trade leaders to be guided by
the principles of innovation as an engine for
growth in trade and economic development. A
global trading system focused on innovative
policies and institutions will help us find new ways
to conduct business together across the world, in
a sustainable form, to the benefit of all nations.
GTDW 2015 will be a series of specialized trade
summits that links innovative and influential
leaders across key verticals in international trade;
this includes business, banking,
customs, corporate real estate,
development banks, FDI, infrastructure,
insurance, investment, risk, specialized economic
zones, supply chain, logistics and transport.
GTDW creates bilateral, regional and multilateral
dialogue, as well as increasing the knowledge and
capabilities that allow government and private
sector leaders to deliver growth in international
trade.
We look forward to welcoming you to GTDW, a
major international forum committed to
increasing knowledge and dialogue between
government and private sector trade leaders – and
helping us find innovative new ways of taking the
global economy to new heights.

  • 2. 3 The UAE Ministry of Economy is glad to be a patron of Global Trade Development Week 2015, and we look forward to welcoming international trade, investment and economic development leaders, to the UAE this October, for this mega global trade event and the concurrent exhibition. The theme for GTDW2015 is ‘Innovation in Global Trade and Economic Development’. This is highly significant to the UAE, as in 2015 we will be taking forward our National Innovation strategy. We encourage global trade leaders to be guided by the principles of innovation as an engine for growth in trade and economic development. A global trading system focused on innovative policies and institutions will help us find new ways to conduct business together across the world, in a sustainable form, to the benefit of all nations. GTDW 2015 will be a series of specialized trade summits that links innovative and influential leaders across key verticals in international trade; this includes business, banking, customs, corporate real estate, development banks, FDI, infrastructure, insurance, investment, risk, specialized economic zones, supply chain, logistics and transport. GTDW creates bilateral, regional and multilateral dialogue, as well as increasing the knowledge and capabilities that allow government and private sector leaders to deliver growth in international trade. We look forward to welcoming you to GTDW, a major international forum committed to increasing knowledge and dialogue between government and private sector trade leaders – and helping us find innovative new ways of taking the global economy to new heights.
