Dubai Chamber of Commerce Strengthens Private Sector Dialogue in Second 2025 roundtable
Held under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, the meeting brought together members from sector-specific Business Groups and country-specific Business Councils. It served as a platform to explore economic growth opportunities, address policy developments, and align on strategies to enhance business competitiveness in Dubai.
Participants were briefed on the Chamber's latest initiatives, including new programmes and long-term plans to support private sector success. Discussions also focused on emerging economic trends and fostering a regulatory environment that enables sustainable expansion.
In the first quarter of 2025, the Chamber facilitated 55 meetings with Business Groups and Councils—an increase of 166% year-on-year. It also launched the Indonesian and Hungarian Business Councils to strengthen ties with businesses from both regions.
The Chamber reviewed 10 laws and draft laws in collaboration with Business Groups during the same period. Private sector recommendations saw a 55% adoption rate, reflecting the impact of ongoing business advocacy efforts. Additionally, four joint meetings were held with key government entities to resolve industry-specific challenges. 'Strengthening the voice of private sector stakeholders through our Business Groups and Councils remains central to enhancing Dubai's business landscape,'
said Maha Al Gargawi, Vice President of Business Advocacy at Dubai Chambers.
The Business Groups and Councils continue to play a vital role in shaping Dubai's business ecosystem, bridging the gap between the private sector and the government, and driving forward a collaborative approach to economic development.
