From iMOVE’s perspective, the delegation visit to the UAE and Oman went off very well. The initial reaction of both the German participants and their Arab hosts was one of great satisfaction. A large number of business contacts were established and initiated, and feedback received by iMOVE has indicated that the following months saw a deepening of business relations.

The cooperation with the Dubai Chamber of Foreign Trade with regard to the organisation of the visit was excellent. Particularly worthy of mention is the successful “matchmaking” which took place within the scope of the cooperation exchanges. The Chamber of Foreign Trade had arranged suitable discussion partners for the German participants, enabling exactly the right partners to be brought together at the cooperation exchange events themselves.

The delegation visit also enjoyed extensive support from the German Embassies in Muscat and Abu Dhabi and from the Consulate in Dubai. Numerous ministries made themselves available for discussions and showed themselves to be willing to establish contact. The ministerial discussion partners were more than happy to provide the German participants with information about certain branches where there was a particular need for qualification, the health sector and tourism being two sectors which were particularly highlighted.
