Dear Members,

May is always a busy month at the French Business Council, and many opportunities are offered to you, members and friends, to get valuable information,i.e through the breakfast seminars and the“regional outlook’ cycle of conferences on business opportunities in the region, Oman this month, as well as from the meetings with the FBC sectoral committees.

As always, we are committed to support French interests and to offer an efficient backing. We prove it this month with the tasting of French cheeses that we organise on behalf of French Producer ONETIK at the get together on 9th May at the Cin Cin, Fairmont, and the promotion of French SMEs at the FBC Gala Dinner on 17th May at the Al Murooj Rotana Hotel, Dubai.

A Provencal touch will be added to this year’s event as the FBC, in its role to encourage trade and exchanges between Dubai and the Northern Emirates and France, has decided to help promote the Provencal food producers represented by the liaison office for the Provence region, IMED, in our premises. Their products will be incorporated to the five course gourmet dinner that will be served on the night.

This year’s dinner will gather a prestigious audience of over 350 people, as many of you have booked tables to entertain your customers, friends and colleagues. Thank you !
It promises to be an exciting evening with fine food and great entertainement, and I look forward to welcoming you and your guests for a Taste of Provence.
 

Marie-Christine Amestoy, Director

On the 1st and 2nd april, the FBC welcomed a trade delegation of 7 Companies in the maritime and coastal management sectors, and organized a comprehensive program of site visits and information sessions with Key decisions-makers in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. This visit was organised together with the RAK investment authority who hosted the presentations and highlighted the business development and investment opportunities in Ras Al Khaimah for the leisure sector. The trade mission was led by Philippe Desriac and Guy Sallavuard, Managers of Total Regional Development Programs (portage), who were in the UAE to identify business opportunities in the Maritime and leisure sector, one of the top growing sectors in the Emirates.
