Dubai plans to host virtual business matchmaking sessions in September, aimed at advancing the UAE-India collaboration in the area of retail tech.

The project is conceptualized by the Dubai Startup Hub, an initiative of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in collaboration with the chamber's international office in India.

The Dubai Technology Tour event will feature a virtual UAE trade mission, comprising public and private sector stakeholders, offering Indian scale-ups access to meet and pitch their business to prospective investors and business partners.

The meets will familiarize the delegates with various aspects of Dubai's economy and the business landscape. It will make them aware of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Dubai and the legal framework of starting business. Various local business leaders are expected to address the participants on current market opportunities and key trends impacting the retail sector.

The Tour will also offer the Indian companies access to Dubai Startup Hub's 'Scaleup Dubai' program and the services of Dubai Chamber's representative offices around the world.
