Gulfood’s ongoing success shows how Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) is becoming a key hub for global industry interactions and learning. DWTC is the heart of Dubai’s Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) sector. Over the years, it has connected markets, industries, and innovations from around the world.

This sector is crucial for Dubai’s economic growth, aligning with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. This plan aims to double Dubai’s economy and make it one of the world’s top three urban economies by the next decade. It also targets a big increase in foreign trade, aiming for AED25.6 trillion by 2033.

In 2022, DWTC hosted over 1.98 million people and organized 244 events, including exhibitions and conferences. It attracted over 37,000 companies, with most of them coming from abroad. DWTC’s role in bringing people together and driving economic growth is clear.
