Abu dhabi: Dubai Chambers is actively preparing to host the Dubai Business Forum - China in Shenzhen on 14th October 2026, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance cooperation with the Chinese business community. The event aims to assist companies looking to establish or expand their operations in Dubai.

According to Emirates News Agency, the forum will run under the theme 'Momentum at Scale: Accelerating Shared Success', and is set to bring together senior government officials, business leaders, investors, and representatives from the public and private sectors. The objective is to explore new opportunities for cooperation, trade, and investment between Dubai and China.

The gathering underscores the focus on collaborative growth, as leading Chinese technology companies leverage Dubai's advantages as a strategic platform to scale innovative solutions and access regional and global markets. Dubai's infrastructure, regulatory environment, and connectivity across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia provide significant value for these companies.

Notably, ARIDGE, the largest flying car company in Asia, has chosen Dubai as a strategic base for its global expansion. In October 2025, ARIDGE conducted the first public manned flight of its flying car outside China in Dubai and secured major purchase agreements in the region. These agreements underscore Dubai's role as a central base for companies accessing opportunities in the Gulf region.

Keeta Drone, part of Meituan's drone delivery business, is expanding in Dubai's aerial logistics ecosystem. The company has been granted the UAE's first Beyond Visual Line of Sight commercial license by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, highlighting the emirate's regulatory clarity and support for technology-enabled services.

PingPong, a global payment institution, has also selected Dubai as a hub in response to growing payment demand driven by trade flows between China, the Middle East, and Africa. The company views Dubai as a central point connecting trade with financial infrastructure, facilitating cross-border transactions.

The experiences of ARIDGE, Keeta Drone, and PingPong illustrate Dubai's capability to support international technology companies through an advanced business ecosystem, regulatory flexibility, and strong institutional partnerships, enhancing connectivity across global trade corridors.
