FDI flows between the UAE and EU are strong and robust, with recent

partnerships in data centres in Italy, solar plants in Spain, and neighbourhood

redevelopment in Budapest. A UAE-EU CEPA has the potential to unlock further
opportunities, including a US$50 billion AI data centre deal with France and a

US$40 billion commitment in Italy’s energy and defense sectors.

The CEPA programme is a key pillar of the UAE's foreign trade agenda, reflecting
the nation's commitment to open, rules-based trade to drive economic growth and

diversify its economy.

By enhancing access to global markets and establishing stronger trade and

investment flows with partners around the world, the CEPA programme has

contributed to a record non-oil trade of US$816 billion in 2024, marking a 14.6%
increase over 2023.
