Middle East Business and IT Summit Consolidates UAE’s Attractiveness to Global Investors

The Middle East Business and IT Resilience Summit, organized by the Continuity and Resilience (CORE) concluded on 11th March 2018 in Dubai, (UAE). The 7th edition of this conference aimed to bring in Dubai the world class and best practices in business and IT resilience.


Presentations and discussions covered proactive solutions to manage all stages of the Business Continuity Mamangement (BCM) implementation lifecycle including Business Continuity and IT Disaster Recovery, Crisis Management and Emergency Response, Safety, Information Security and Security.

UAE & Dubai – A promising potential for FDI’s

As one of the most diversified and developed economy in the region, UAE will continue to hold prominent placement amongst international investors. UAE’s incredible positioning amongst global investors also results from its political stability, higher transparency, a growing demography and a very cosmopolitan society, where nationals from over 200 countries live together.

The UAE is well on the way to attract more than $70 billion (Dh257 billion) in industrial investments by 2025. With many positive investment programmes underway UAE is firmly on course to be the best performers in the Middle East over the next five years, thanks to its vibrant economy, ever expanding population base (9.5 Million – 2018) and influx of tourists that drives various sectors of the economy.

In 2018, it is expected that the process of diversification will be consolidated. Investments are expected to mobilize in key sectors and industries including sustainable energy, real estate & construction, healthcare, education, tourism (medical tourism) and manufacturing.
