Investopia - an effective platform for dialogue between the UAE and Indian business communities
H.E.Bin Touq said: “Investopia has succeeded in establishing itself as an effective platform for dialogue between the UAE and Indian
business communities and supporting the growing economic partnership between the two countries in the sectors of the new and
sustainable economy. Since 2021, Investopia has launched its global dialogues in five Indian cities and states: Mumbai, New Delhi,
Chennai, Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh. These events served as impactful gatherings that brought together senior leaders, economic
players, investors, and entrepreneurs from both sides to capitalize on promising economic and investment opportunities in both
markets.Our two nations have established diverse pathways to support a shared vision for innovative and sustainable economic models,
while also promoting the development of diversified economic partnerships across both the public and private sectors."
UAE and India among fastest growing economies

“The economies of the UAE and India are among the fastest growing ones, as the non-oil GDP of the UAE economy grew by five per
centin 2024 compared to that of 2023, while the GDP of the Indian economy achieved a growth of 7.4 per cent in the first three months
of 2025. This indicates the growing momentum of economic opportunities in both markets,” H.E. added.

267,121 Indian companies thriving in UAE markets
H.E. continued: "The hosting of these events reflects the growing importance of the Indian business community as a vital economic and
investment partner for the UAE. Today, over 267,121 Indian companies are actively operating across diverse sectors in the UAE market.
Notably, 22,415 new Indian firms entered the UAE in the first half of 2025, a growth rate of more than 10 per cent compared to the same
period last year. This surge underscores the UAE’s strong appeal as a global business hub and reaffirms the deep confidence Indian
investors place in our economy.”
India: Top source of tourists to the UAE
H.E. pointed out that tourism stands out as a cornerstone of economic collaboration between the two nations. India has established itself
as the UAE's primary source of tourists, contributing 4.23 million visitors during 2024. The air connectivity between the countries
continues to expand,with over 600 weekly flights operated by carriers from both nations.

accelerating digital transformation. In this context, there is an urgent need to build more resilient and sustainable economic systems.
