Investment opportunities highlighted

Representatives from LICC and the Dubai International Chamber delivered presentations on Longhua’s industrial support policies, key sectors and business services, as well as Dubai’s market access requirements, tax incentives and advantages as a hub for cross-border trade. The presentations highlighted opportunities in both markets and offered guidance on how companies can establish operations in each location.

“Dubai, as an economic powerhouse in the Middle East and a global trade hub, excels in automotive components, electronics manufacturing, and logistics. It also offers an open business environment,” said a representative of LICC.

As the largest district-level comprehensive platform for international exchange and cooperation in China, LICC follows the principles of openness, inclusiveness, and mutual benefit. It has expanded its international economic and trade network to help Longhua enterprises pursue cooperation opportunities around the world.

“We hope today’s exchanges will open new doors for cooperation and build lasting partnerships between Longhua and Dubai,” the representative added.

These services can help Longhua companies localize their overseas operations while reducing the costs and risks of entering the Dubai markets.

Presentations showcase cooperation potentials

During the project presentations, representatives from five companies based in Dubai and Longhua — including Middle Eastern e-commerce platform noon, Shenzhen BetterPower Battery Co. Ltd., TXTK Tax Tech Shenzhen, Huatuo Idea Communications Group and SOFOS Group — introduced projects in several promising areas, including cross-border trade, advanced manufacturing, corporate financial and tax services, brand creativity and energy investment.

After the formal agenda, participants held in-depth discussions on project implementation, resource complementarity and the joint development of business channels, exploring opportunities for substantive industrial cooperation between Longhua and Dubai.

The event created a direct exchange platform for businesses and other industry stakeholders from the two regions, further facilitating the two-way flow of economic and trade information. It also laid a practical foundation for future cross-border projects and the international expansion of participating companies.

In recent years, Longhua has actively integrated itself into the China-Middle East economic and trade cooperation network, helping local companies expand overseas, connect with global partners and strengthen their international operations.

Going forward, Longhua will deepen practical cooperation with Dubai in areas including new energy, cross-border e-commerce, high-tech industries, cross-border finance, global logistics and brand creativity. The district will also improve channels for two-way investment, supply-chain coordination and resource sharing, strengthen its connections with global resources, and accelerate its development intoa high-level gateway for opening up. 

These efforts will contribute to Shenzhen’s goal of becoming a globally leading center for advanced manufacturing and an international consumption center.
