It follows the directive of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai "to reshape Dubai into the world’s most future-ready city", he added.

It will also offer "specialised training for all business councils affiliated with the Chamber".

Our goal is for Dubai to become the world’s…
