Dubai Chambers has concluded an official trade mission to Ireland aimed at enhancing trade and investment ties between the two countries and identifying new avenues for collaboration across key economic sectors.
The mission, organized under the ‘Growth Corridors’ initiative, was led by H.E. Eng. Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, and accompanied by H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, along with a high-level delegation of business leaders from Dubai. The initiative seeks to strengthen economic partnerships and promote Dubai’s position as a global trade and investment hub.
During the visit, the delegation held a series of meetings in Dublin with senior representatives from Ireland’s public and private sectors, including Enterprise Ireland, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, the Irish Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), and the Ireland Foreign Direct Investment Agency (IDA).
The discussions focused on advancing collaboration in areas such as investment, financial services, transport and logistics, venture capital, digital industries, and innovation.
Commenting on the visit, Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori said: “Dubai is continuing to consolidate its position as a leading global business hub by building strategic partnerships with major international markets such as Ireland.”
“We remain committed to strengthening our drive to open new pathways for trade and investment between Dubai and the world. These efforts are designed to unlock fresh opportunities for business communities, support sustainable growth, and generate promising investments,” he added.
The meetings underscored Dubai Chambers’ ongoing support for Irish companies seeking to establish a base in Dubai and use the emirate as a platform for regional expansion. The Chamber facilitates partnerships, joint ventures, and networking between businesses in both markets while promoting Dubai’s competitive advantages in future-oriented industries.
Trade relations between Dubai and Ireland have grown steadily, with non-oil trade reaching AED 4.1 billion in 2024, a 20% year-on-year increase. In the first half of 2025, 62 new Irish companies joined the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, bringing the total number of active Irish member companies to 460.
The Ireland mission forms part of a broader series of international engagements under Dubai Chambers’ Growth Corridors’ initiative, designed to strengthen bilateral business relations, enhance sectoral integration, and expand Dubai’s global reach amid shifting economic dynamics and emerging investment opportunities.
