Dubai Trade recognises strategic and logistics partners

Dubai Trade has honoured its strategic and media partners as part of its strategy to support partnerships between the public and private sectors and to encourage trade relations in Dubai.

The honouring ceremony was attended by Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director of Dubai Customs, Mohammed Hamdan Al Zaabi, Director of Trade Promotion and Investment at the Ministry of Economy, Mahmood Al Bastaki, CEO of Dubai Trade, along with organisations that have contributed to Dubai Trade’s success, including government and financial organisations, private sector companies and the media.

Dubai Trade honoured organisations that provide smart services to their customers and those who have integrated their services with its smart electronic systems, such as the secured electronic payment gateway "Rosoom". Other attendees included cargo insurers, storage businesses, shipping companies, and others providing information on ship and port traffic.

Speaking on the occasion, the Director of Dubai Customs said, "We are working hard to ensure our leaders’ vision for Dubai to become the smartest city globally becomes reality. Dubai Trade has been at the forefront of this effort since its establishment and today provides 820 services through its electronic portal, used by more than 113,000 users leading to 50,000 daily transactions. This is down to those who maintain the portal and the support of our partners who chose to use the services."

The CEO of Dubai Trade said, "The power and reach of large global corporations lies in their use of modern technology and the way they adapt to change. Facebook, Alibaba, and Airbnb are great examples of organisations that have thought ahead of need and we strive to continue serving our customers in much the same way, adopting smart systems to provide innovative solutions."
