UAE – Mubasher: Dubai International Chamber has officially launched a new representative office in Toronto, exploring avenues to foster bilateral trade and investments between Dubai and Canada.
Being the first representative office in North America, the inauguration was announced during a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Toronto, expanding the chamber’s global network, according to a press release.
The Toronto office will serve as a vital resource for businesses in both Dubai and Canada. The chamber’s team will engage with the Canadian business community, cultivate strategic partnerships with key public and private sector stakeholders, and promote Dubai’s position as a global business hub.
It will provide Canadian companies with valuable market intelligence and practical support to develop and scale their business in Dubai.
The office will also enable Dubai-based businesses seeking to expand into the Canadian market by offering targeted insights, identifying high-potential trade and investment opportunities, while connecting them with reliable local partners to ensure a smooth and successful market entry.
This comes as part of the ‘Dubai Global’ initiative, which seeks to establish 50 representative offices worldwide by 2030.
Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, said: “The office will serve as a strategic platform to connect businesses, facilitate investment flows, and open new channels for bilateral trade.”
“We are committed to helping Canadian businesses leverage Dubai’s strategic location and competitive advantages as a gateway to global growth,” he added.
The business relations between Canada and Dubai have been growing, with the value of non-oil bilateral trade exceeding AED 10.20 billion last year.
By the end of 2024, a total of 4,112 Canadian companies were registered as active members of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, marking an annual growth of 29%.
This momentum continued into 2025, with 289 new Canadian companies joining during the first quarter (Q1).
