AI am delighted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we have embarked upon over the last couple of decades. It fills me with immense joy to share my thoughts with all of you, the dedicated individuals who have been the driving force behind our success.
To our partners, sponsors, exhibitors, and all stakeholders, I express my sincere appreciation for your continued support. Your collaboration has been integral to the success of TFT Arabia, and I am confident that the February 2024 edition will be a celebration of our collective achievements.
It’s great to hear about the success of the mega trade shows in the Middle East, particularly the remarkable achievements and positive reception of the World of Coffee 2024 Exhibition and the Arab Health exhibition. The significant attendance and participation from healthcare professionals, businesses, and esteemed figures l ike His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of UAE and ruler of Dubai, demonstrate the impact and influence of these mega events on the region’s trade and industry growth.
The fact that the Arab Health exhibition featured a vast number of exhibitors and professional healthcare visits from around the world truly emphasizes its position as the largest healthcare exhibition in the MENA region. These events not only provide a platform for knowledge exchange and networking within the healthcare industry but also play a crucial role in driving economic activity and promoting the region as a global hub for such events.
The description of Gulfood as the largest annual food and beverage sourcing event in the world, with a record number of exhibitors and visitors from over 190 countries, highlights its importance in driving global trade and business activities within the F&B community.
Furthermore, the significant economic impact of the DUPHAT 2024, with business deals worth over 8.5 billion AED, underscores the influential role of such trade shows in fostering partnerships and commercial activities within the pharmaceutical industry.
The 25th edition of Intersec and the 2nd International AYUSH Conference and Exhibition also demonstrate the variety and depth of important business events taking place in the region. These events not only showcase the region’s commitment to innovation and collaboration in various industries, but also highlight its ongoing efforts to strengthen economic and business ties, as demonstrated by the opening of INDEX Holding’s regional office in Riyadh.
Overall, it’s clear that the UAE is playing a pivotal role in hosting and organizing global events, and these gatherings are not only beneficial for the region’s economy but also contribute to the international standing and influence of the UAE and its neighbouring countries.
