“Dubai Chamber’s joint effort in preparing ‘The Report: Dubai 2007’ goes in line with its strategy and vision to provide information on the development process in Dubai. Needless to say, most of the Chamber’s Board members are prominent businessmen who have significantly contributed to shaping Dubai’s economy,” said Buamim.
In addition, exclusive interviews with renowned businessmen and investors from Dubai elaborating on their successful businesses will add more value to the report, Buamim added. It will also provide some information on the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015 which was announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Sonja Gehlsen, Country Director of Oxford Business Group, expressed her company’s interest in publishing ‘The Report: Dubai 2007”, and stressed the important role Dubai Chamber could play by sharing information, statistics and economic analyses on the activities of the business community and other economic sectors, on top of the Chamber’s key role in securing the interviews with Dubai businessmen who highly contributed to the economic development of the emirate.
