DWC taps US investment market
Investment roadshow travels to five cities across USA
Management behind “the world’s first aerotropolis” last week completed a five city US tour to promote investment opportunities at the Dubai based mega-project.
Reporting interest from “hundreds of prospective US investors”, the Dubai & the Northern Emirates USA Road Show was held to maximize the growing trade volumes between the UAE and US; following news that US imports to the UAE increased 75% in Q1.
The tour was conducted ahead of the 2013 edition of Dubai Airshow, at DWC’s Al Maktoum International Airport and meets key targets set by the Dubai Government to position the Emirate’s transport and logistics offerings as “major agents of economic diversification and development.”
“The multi-modal infrastructure of Dubai World Central, which is the only one of its kind in the Middle East, is a major attraction for US companies that are seeking to do business in the MENASA region,” said Dubai Aviation City Corporation executive chairman, Khalifa Al Zaffin.
“DWC reinforces the reputation of the UAE as a strategic base with its integrated air, land and sea transportation facilities. Our participation at the Dubai & the Northern Emirates USA Road Show was part of our continuing drive to promote DWC as a catalyst for long-term economic development and a gateway for international companies to penetrate MENASA markets,” Al Zaffin added.
DWC director of operational development, Mohsen Ahmed and salaes manager Mohammed Al Falasi, visited New York, Atlantic City, Minneapolis, Seattle and Dallas for the event.
