Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, organiser of
CeMAT MIDDLE EAST, the world's largest trade show profile for internal logistics and materials handling that debuts in Dubai in February 2010, has revealed that leading global business organisations and key government institutions have made strong commitments to support the trade show. Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch further pointed out that international investors have been particularly impressed with the UAE's efforts to establish itself as a global logistics hub with around USD 26 billion in investments being made to develop the country's air and sea infrastructure facilities.
The high-profile projects underway in the UAE include the USD 7 billion Dubai World Central airport initiated by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, the Abu Dhabi Airport Company's USD 6.5 billion expansion program for the UAE capital's airport - including a logistics park- and a USD 1.6 billion expansion program for the Jebel Ali Port by Dubai Ports Authority.
CeMAT MIDDLE EAST will run concurrently with
MDA MIDDLE EAST and
IA MIDDLE EAST from February 9-11, 2010 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. All three shows are being organised by
Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, the regional arm of
Deutsche Messe Hannover - Germany, one of the world's leading international trade fair organisers with a global portfolio of over 100 niche events.
CeMAT, MDA and
IA trade fairs are spin-offs from their mother shows in Hannover, with successful annual editions in Shanghai, Mumbai, Istanbul and Moscow.
Angela Schaschen, Managing Director of Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, said: "There has been a remarkably strong response from international exhibitors, trade buyers and government agencies to the
CeMAT, MDA and
IA trade shows. The positive attitude of industry players towards the trade events reflects the region's excellent market conditions as private and public sector organisations continue to invest for the long-term through various infrastructure development projects and technology adoption. Moreover, the concurrent trade shows have been organised to cover the Middle East, Africa, Indian sub-continent and Central Asian region, which translates to wider market coverage and more business prospects for all trade participants."
