Pandemic reshapes Dubai’s digital future

Despite its widespread impact, Covid -19 pandemic created a new breeding ground for innovation. History has shown us time and time again how disruption has left organisations with no choice but to explore new ideas and solutions.

Chambers of commerce, like businesses and governments, are experiencing challenges and opportunities. Dubai Chamber, with the support of ICC-WCF, recently published a report, which provided clarity on how chambers of commerce dealt with the impact of COVID-19.

Chambers, for the most part, were effective in responding to the changing needs of members and ensuring continuity of value-added services. Along with the massive challenges came an opportunity to support business communities in their hour of need and create a roadmap for an economic recovery.

Dubai economy is at the forefront of the digital evolution. Startups and SMEs are rising to the occasion as they bring out solutions in the areas of fintech, healthtech, education and e-commerce. As a bridge between government and business spheres, Dubai Chamber is playing a crucial role in facilitating public-private sector partnerships that foster economic growth and innovation.


Through the newly launched Chamber Connect Series, they have created a platform for knowledge sharing and cross-border collaboration. The series has opened an important conversation about how chambers of commerce are realigning their resources in line with changing market conditions and embraced digital transformation as the way of the future.
