UAE-Türkiye trade just hit $44B in 12 months — blowing past the 5-year CEPA target in under 2 years. Türkiye is now the UAE's fastest-growing partner in the top 10.

764 Turkish firms registered in Dubai — that's 1/5 of all Turkish companies in the city. They're deep in energy, precious metals, agri-food, logistics, coffee, and tech.

New catalysts:

• DMCC Maritime Centre — shipping, logistics, marine services, trade finance, insurance, legal, maritime tech

• DMCC Finx — bridging trade, commodities, fintech, digital assets, and capital access

These platforms are unlocking serious runway for Turkish players in global trade, supply chains, commodities, and financial innovation.

Heading back to Istanbul first week of June for Istanbul Blockchain Week. Focus: fintech, crypto, RWAs, Web3, and the next phase of UAE-Türkiye collaboration.

The bridge between Dubai and Istanbul is getting stronger — and the opportunity is just starting.
