Dubai Chambers is preparing to host the Dubai Business Forum – China in Shenzhen on October 14, 2026, as it works to deepen ties with Chinese companies and support businesses looking to establish or expand in Dubai.
Held under the theme ‘Momentum at Scale: Accelerating Shared Success,’ the forum will bring together government officials, business leaders, investors and public- and private-sector representatives to discuss cooperation, trade and investment between Dubai and China.
The event comes as Chinese technology companies use Dubai as a base for regional and global expansion. Advanced air mobility company ARIDGE, drone delivery business Keeta Drone and payments institution PingPong have each highlighted the emirate’s infrastructure, regulatory environment and connections across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
ARIDGE selected Dubai as a strategic base for its international expansion and completed a public manned flight demonstration there in October 2025. The company also secured purchase agreements for 600 units from partners in the Middle East.
Keeta Drone received the UAE’s first Beyond Visual Line of Sight commercial licence in December 2024 and is exploring new delivery routes with government entities, regulators, developers and enterprise partners.
PingPong chose Dubai to support payment flows linked to trade between China, the Middle East and Africa, describing the emirate as a central connection between physical commerce and financial infrastructure.
