Bako Ambianda Participate at Advantage Dubai Seminar Alongside H.E Ahmed Hatem

GAA News - Chairman of Labacorp Group, Mr. Bako Ambianda participate at the Advantage Dubai Seminar in Austin, Texas, alongside the Honorable Ahmed Hatem Almenhali, Consulate General of the United Arab Emirates in Houston, Texas.

The Trade Seminar was organized by World Affairs Council of Austin, and the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council along with Protocol & Etiquette Worldwide. At the seminar, the Dubai Department of Economic Development´s Foreign Direct Investment Development Agency shared information about the innovation-driven economy of Dubai, and how Dubai serves as a platform to enhance business growth within the UAE, as well as further markets through its geographic location, human capital, infrastructure, government vision, and “can do attitude.“

The United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) is a significant U.S. export market and an important regional hub for American companies doing business throughout the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. The U.A.E. has a population of approximately 9.5 million, out of which about 85 percent is expatriates. In 2015, the U.A.E. registered a real GDP growth rate of 3.9 percent, down from 4.6 percent in 2014. Due to its vast oil wealth and relatively small population to which it must provide services, the U.A.E. is well positioned to ride out the current low-oil-price economy. To diversify away from oil, the government is transitioning from an investment economy to a knowledge economy. To this end, it is focused on developing new industrial and commercial sectors, including aerospace, healthcare, education, and defense and tourism.
