Seamless Middle East 2018 To Showcase High Potential Within Regional e-Commerce Industry

Dubai CommerCity, the region’s first e-commerce free zone, has announced its title sponsorship of the Seamless Middle East 2018 convention. The event, held under the patronage of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior; will be hosted at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center on April 15 and 16. The event will highlight the high potential and positive trends within the regional e-commerce sector.

The sponsorship of the event by Dubai CommerCity, a joint venture between the Dubai Airport Freezone Authority (DAFZA) and the Wasl Asset Management Group; falls in line with its mission to explore the future of e-commerce, to further propel its growth and success, and to become the most attractive and ideal Dubai-based e-commerce destination.

Based on a unique operating system, the venture utilizes and combines its attractive investment advantages as a free zone with its technological advantages that enable customers to efficiently and quickly establish and launch their business in the region. Further benefits include the myriad of logistical advantages for distribution that attract and match the needs of e-commerce companies through its geographical proximity to the Dubai International Airport, state roads, and land and sea ports.

Amna Lootah, Assistant Director General – Finance, Commercial & Customer relations Division Foster of DAFZA Innovation & Future Unit commented: “Dubai CommerCity will drive the growth of the e-commerce sector in the region, which is expected to reach about USD 69 billion by 2020 in the Middle East and USD 24 billion in the GCC alone. The e-commerce free zone will stay abreast of the sector’s progress by developing unique infrastructure and by offering products, services and solutions in line with the regional market requirements. This will be also based on local and global expertise to guide relevant companies towards growth and prosperity according to a clear vision and carefully considered plans.”

Amna Lootah highlighted the importance of this strategic exhibition as it coincides with the objectives of Dubai CommerCity, which are based on attracting investments in specialized e-commerce, retail and smart payment solutions.

“The participation of Dubai CommerCity is an important strategic step which shows its key role in supporting Dubai’s global position as an ideal destination for global e-commerce. Seamless Middle East 2018 is a key attraction for leading global e-commerce companies and we believe that the event will showcase the opportunities within the sector,” she said.
