Focus Areas

Advanced Manufacturing

Aligned with the UAE’s “300 Billion Action Plan” and Dubai’s D33 Agenda, we support Chinese manufacturers with project planning, execution, and local resource integration. Key sectors include automotive parts, smart devices, industrial robots, and traditional manufacturing. The UAE’s position as a logistics hub, paired with favorable free zone policies, creates optimal conditions for industrial real estate and investment funds in regions like Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.

Healthcare

With the UAE’s healthcare market growing rapidly, we specialize in deploying medical services, exporting advanced equipment, and facilitating pharmaceutical registrations. Demand is strong for branded hospitals, specialty centers, and cutting-edge devices like imaging systems and surgical robots. We streamline market entry through regulatory guidance and strategic distributor partnerships.

Retail & Consumer Goods

The UAE’s high per capita income and vibrant tourism sector create a dynamic market for retail brands. We assist Chinese brands with site selection, leasing, and promotion across F&B, fast-moving consumer goods, and fashion sectors. Opportunities abound for authentic Chinese cuisine, premium household products, and fast fashion, with support for integrated online and offline growth.

Technology Innovation

Technology innovation offers significant opportunities for Chinese firms in the Middle East. We partner with leading innovation hubs, such as The SMC Shanghai Foundation Model Innovation Center and Abu Dhabi’s High-Tech Park, to establish R&D centers or regional headquarters, focusing on 5G/6G, AIoT, and clean energy solutions to build a robust technology network across the Middle East and Asia.
