Dubai World Trade Centre: Champion of Global Business and Trade Ecosystems EMEA 2025

For over four decades, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) has been a cornerstone of Dubai’s business landscape, hosting more than 6,000 international exhibitions and conferences and welcoming over 38mn visitors worldwide annually. As a global MICE hub, DWTC plays a pivotal role in positioning Dubai as a premier business tourism destination, attracting professionals, investors, and decision-makers from around the world. Its extensive venue space and strategic initiatives foster industry growth, cross-sector collaboration, and groundbreaking innovation. The organisation serves as a launchpad for startups and entrepreneurs, providing a platform for networking and investment opportunities on a global scale. In 2023, DWTC generated over $5bn in economic impact, marking a 40 percent year-on-year increase, with its hosted events supporting over 69,000 jobs and contributing $1bn to household income. DWTC is also expanding its exhibition space, with plans to increase its Expo City Dubai site from 46,000 to 180,000 square metres by 2031. This ambitious expansion aligns with Dubai’s economic agenda, aiming to double hosted events to 600 and triple economic output to $15bn. The centre further enhances Dubai’s global trade ecosystem through its free zone, currently home to 2,000 entities across various industries. Sustainability is a key priority, with DWTC committed to reducing energy consumption, resource conservation, and waste management, supported by internationally recognised green certifications. CFI.co Judging Panel warmly congratulates Dubai World Trade Centre on winning the 2025 award for Champion of Global Business and Trade Ecosystems (EMEA).
