The Dubai Chamber of Commerce has finalized its preparations for an upcoming trade mission to Angola and Mozambique, scheduled from April 21 to April 25. This initiative is part of the chamber’s ‘New Horizons’ program, which aims to support the international growth of companies based in Dubai by providing access to high-potential global markets.

Recently, the chamber hosted a virtual pre-mission briefing attended by members of the trade mission’s delegation. This delegation includes representatives from a wide variety of Dubai-based companies engaged in sectors such as agriculture, construction and building materials, electronics, energy and petrochemicals, engineering, FMCG trading, food and beverages, information technology, manufacturing, maritime and shipping services, metallurgical industries, real estate, retail, and supply chain and logistics.

During the briefing, participants received an overview of the mission agenda, which features several bilateral business meetings and networking sessions with companies in Angola and Mozambique. These meetings are structured to foster mutually beneficial partnerships and identify potential expansion opportunities. Attendees were also given detailed market intelligence, economic data, and cultural insights pertaining to both Angola and Mozambique.

The ‘New Horizons’ initiative is part of the chamber’s broader efforts to promote the global expansion of Dubai-based businesses, enabling them to seize rewarding opportunities in new international markets. This initiative aligns with the ‘Dubai Global’ initiative, which aims to assist local companies in exploring new business prospects across 30 priority markets worldwide.

Last year, as part of the New Horizons program, the chamber successfully organized trade missions to various countries including Indonesia, Vietnam, Senegal, Morocco, Serbia, Türkiye, Uganda, and Tanzania. These missions led to more than 2,227 B2B meetings between participating companies and their counterparts in these targeted markets.
