Arabian Business SME Forum

SMEs, according to Saeed Al Marri, Deputy CEO of Dubai SME, make up 99 percent of the UAE’s economy. They are the job creators, sector innovators, key service providers and growth generators for the country – and, as such, they are the bedrock of commercial activity.

These businesses have, of course, also been the most impacted by the coronavirus in 2020, particularly those in sectors such as hospitality, travel and tourism and events. And while the picture remains in a state of flux, it is clear that 2021 will be the start of a “post-Covid” world and SMEs will be the engines driving the economy forward.

The Arabian Business SME Forum is a virtual event that will take place on November 19, 2020, and has been designed to offer this crucial segment advice, insight and information on navigating these uncertain times. Hosted with the support of Dubai SME, experts, stakeholders, business owners and key members of the local SME ecosystem will take part in three important discussions that will outline a path to prosperity in the months ahead.
