How to expand your business globally with ease

The world economy is changing rapidly and businesses are going global. With the help of digital and various other innovations it’s even easier to do this. These are not questions or speculation, these are facts.

The question is not whether you should expand, it is how you can do this.

Over 100 South African companies already use DMCC in Dubai to help expand their business beyond South Africa.

As we at CN&CO know well, the how is always made easier through the help of partners. In Dubai the leading partner for business expansion is the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre or DMCC. DMCC is a residential, retail, and commercial centre which was established in 2002 as a government entity to enhance commodity trade flows through Dubai. It is the world’s most interconnected Free Zone, and the leading trade and enterprise hub for commodities. In other words: they are experts.

They also already work with 114 South African companies in a range of industries helping these companies benefit from its Free Zone and expand their businesses globally.

Meet with the experts in the DMCC team on 18 March 2020 at the Protea Hotel Fire & Ice in Melrose Arch to learn more about the advantages of doing and expanding business in Dubai through DMCC, and network with business leaders from South Africa and the world. The event is supported in full by the UAE government.

Bongani Bingwa, Justice Malala, and His Excellency the UAE ambassador to South Africa will be there. Will you?

You will also hear a direct address on UAE and SA relations from the UAE ambassador to South Africa. This address will be valuable in helping you understand the current climate (business and economic, we mean) and how expanding through Dubai could benefit your business and help you take things to the next level.
