Dear Members, Partners and Friends of the French Business Council,
This week, we have held two major events aiming to strengthen business cooperation between French and Emirati companies.
In collaboration with Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry, we organised the first Sharjah-France Economic Forum. More than 85 participants joined this event: French companies both MNCs and SMEs, Sharjah-based professionals and local authorities such as Sharjah Economic Development Department, Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Sharjah Commerce & Tourism Authority. Sharjah is a fast moving Emirate with high potential and ambition on different fields discussed around sectorial workshops such as Education & Culture, Energy & Sustainability, Healthcare, Tourism & Hospitality as well as Government Institutions & Free Zones.
Moreover, in collaboration with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Business France, we also held the second Emirati-French Business Forum for Future of Energy and Innovation. More than 150 representatives of DEWA and French companies attended this event that aimed to strengthen cooperation between France and the UAE and support the UAE's vision to ensure a sustainable and happy future for the upcoming generations. DEWA's team leaders presented the key projects, initiatives, and programmes, to build new synergies and nurture collaboration between French Companies and DEWA.
These forums gathered the presence and welcome speeches of H.E. Abdallah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of SCCI, H.E. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, H.E. Ludovic Pouille, Ambassador of France to the UAE, H.E. Raja Rabia, Consul General of France to Dubai, and Geoffroy Bunetel, President of the French Business Council Dubai & Northern Emirates.
