When Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) opened in 1979 it was a beacon of possibility, a physical manifestation of the emirate’s ambition, and the bold vision of its leadership. In the intervening four decades, DWTC has become the heart of the city as it has grown and become a platform for opportunity, innovation and connectivity.
DWTC enjoys an unparalleled reputation as the region’s premier venue for events, exhibitions, congresses and conferences. And yet that only tells half the story: today DWTC helps to position Dubai as a leading global business hub; it is a gateway for regional market access; and it generates considerable multiplier impact for the emirate’s GDP. Our story has grown in so many ways over the last 40 years. And there are many chapters still to come.
