Dubai is the hub where international brands can meet with buyers not only from Dubai and the United Arab Emirates but also from the rest of the Middle East and African region. Many of these industry professionals cannot make it to Europe or other places so they come here instead. Because of this, The Big 5 offers many great networking opportunities. It generates many leads and is excellent for making business.

Batuhan Kilbas Marketing Specialist, Expotim

We think Dubai is an excellent place to sell Polish products because there is a very vibrant construction market here. Polish companies are very eager to be here and to sell in Dubai, in The Emirates, and in Gulf countries.
