KOTRA holds a Korea-UAE business conference in connection with state visits

KOTRA held a Korea-UAE business conference in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the 16th of last month to coincide with President Yoon Seok-yeol’s state visit to the UAE. 

Although the UAE is a resource-rich country with the fifth largest oil reserves in the world, it has pursued industrial diversification policies to break away from its oil-dependent economic structure. To that end, the UAE government launched the Make It Emirates to foster manufacturing last year.

Taking this state visit as an opportunity, the two countries plan to expand cooperation from energy, defense, and nuclear power to aerospace, smart city, and ICT in response to the UAE’s industrial diversification. Through this, Korea is planning to overcome the current crisis by increasing exports. 

36 Korean companies and 105 UAE buyers participated in this conference, and a total of 257 business consultations were conducted in the fields of smart city technology, modular smart farm, nuclear power plant and power equipment, solid fuel production plant using domestic waste, cloud, rental car reservation platform, and defense.

More than 90% of the companies participating in the conference were small and medium-sized companies, and they discussed exports, technology cooperation, joint entry, and investment partnerships.  Export contracts worth around 11 million dollars were expected.

“The Middle East is an important market in the smart farm, and the UAE is the hub for entering the Middle East. We plan to expand our business to the entire Middle East by using the UAE as a test bed,” said Seo Choong-mo, CEO of Midbar, who conducted joint empirical research consultations with the UAE University of Technology at this conference. 

KOTRA President Yoo Jeong-yeol said, “This conference was prepared to use the UAE as a leverage for entering the Middle East. KOTRA will do its best to support the boom in the new business in various fields through close support even after the conference.”
