During its participation at CIIE, ECI showcased its offerings at its booth, providing delegates and

Executive Officer of ECI, took part in a panel discussion titled ‘Logistics, Trade, and Advanced
Manufacturing,’ highlighting the UAE’s position as a strategic gateway for global commerce.

The session highlighted ECI’s role as a catalyst for growth, providing financial protection, market
intelligence, and risk-mitigation tools that enable UAE exporters to expand confidently across

international markets. Raja emphasised that ECI is able to connect SMEs to a global network of more
than 400 million companies, helping them identify buyers, suppliers, and new trade opportunities.

Al Mazrouei further commented on trade insurance and export credit evolving to strengthen UAE–China
cooperation, especially as more companies from both sides venture into co-manufacturing and industrial
projects.

During the ‘Capital Flow in a New Multipolar World’ panel, organised as part of the AIM Congress China

Chapter 2025, Raja discussed how global capital dynamics and industrial innovation are redefining
international trade.

The discussion also underscored ECI’s commitment to empowering SMEs, strengthening supply chain
resilience, and advancing sustainable trade in alignment with the UAE 2031 vision’ - which aims to grow

the nation’s non-oil exports to AED 800 billion.

“SMEs represent over 94 percent of UAE enterprises, forming the backbone of our economy, a vital
source of employment, and advancing economic diversity. Initiatives such as Xport Xponential have
already mobilised AED 174 million in SME funding. By empowering SMEs, we strengthen domestic
value chains and attract venture capital and foreign direct investment (FDI) into high-impact, productive

sectors,” Raja said.
