Expo 2020 Dubai, which opened on 1 October and will run until 31 March 2022, is expected to bring into the UAE foreign direct investment (FDI) between US$100 billion and US$150 billion spread across sectors such as financial services, real estate, hospitality, tourism, infrastructure, and construction. This massive influx of investment will positively impact the entire business ecosystem and economy of the UAE and significantly enhance business opportunities for SMEs. Expo 2020 will thus offer UAE’s entrepreneurs and small business owners the chance to attract investment, develop new markets and collaborate on new products and services to address the world’s most pressing issues.
