Unique Format: Russia –– UAE Business Bridge
Unique Format: Russia –– UAE Business Bridge
03 May
On 15 May, KazanForum 2025 will host a special format business event: a pitch session for entrepreneurs seeking to expand to the United Arab Emirates market.
This is not just a lecture, but an actual dialogue with experts who have an insider’s knowledge of the UAE market: they have set up their own business in the Region or support Russian companies at all stages of entry.
The participants can expect to:
Present their projects to the UAE experts
Get personalised recommendations from experienced market masters
Receive direct feedback on the presented business ideas
Network with representatives of the MENA-region business environment
The experts include:
• Jabbori Najibullo Gafforzoda, representative of AO ‘‘REC’’ in the UAE
• Hana Al Thehli, VP-HR at Abu Dhabi Investment Company
• Augusta Geneses, Head of the Committee for the Development of Trade and Economic Relations in the MENA Region at Eurasian Business Association
• Daria Arkhincheeva, member of the Board of Directors at BuildTech MENA (UAE)
• Roman Gromov, representative of OPORA RUSSIA in the UAE and other invited specialists.
The session will be held after the theme talks on ‘‘Specifics of Entering the Arab Gulf Market’’ and will serve as a practical continuation of the discussions.
The UAE is one of the most dynamically growing and open markets in the Region. The number of Russian companies in the UAE has increased by 4.5 times since 2022, so KazanForum invites businesses to become the next success in a short span of time.
