Dubai, UAE — September 2026 — MIE Groups is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with the International Trade Council (ITC) across its 2026 and 2027 portfolio of international exhibitions and business platforms.
The partnership builds on several years of collaboration between MIE Groups and ITC, during which both organisations have developed a strong foundation of trust, mutual understanding, and business cooperation. This established relationship now moves into a broader strategic partnership, bringing together MIE Groups’ international exhibition platforms and ITC’s global business network to create greater opportunities for trade, investment, market access, business development, and cross-border collaboration.
Under the partnership, MIE Groups and ITC will build on their established relationship to facilitate access to strategic projects, investment opportunities, international business networks, and potential commercial partnerships across selected markets. The collaboration will also support strategic business introductions and B2B and B2G engagements, helping connect relevant companies, investors, government stakeholders, and industry leaders with opportunities for meaningful, long-term cooperation.
The collaboration will connect exhibitors, sponsors, investors, businesses, government representatives, industry leaders, and institutional stakeholders, creating opportunities to explore new markets, establish commercial relationships, identify investment opportunities, and develop mutually beneficial partnerships.
Strengthening B2B Matchmaking and Business Connections
A key focus of the partnership will be strengthening B2B matchmaking and facilitating targeted business connections. Participating companies will have opportunities to connect with potential buyers, distributors, investors, suppliers, business partners, and other relevant stakeholders across international markets.
Through these connections, the partnership aims to support businesses in identifying new commercial opportunities, expanding their international networks, entering new markets, and developing long-term business relationships.
The partnership will also support sponsorship opportunities, enabling organisations to increase their visibility, engage with targeted business communities, strengthen their market presence, and participate more actively in key industry platforms.
Supporting Government and Public-Sector Engagement
For governments and public-sector stakeholders, the partnership provides an additional platform to engage with international businesses, investors, industry leaders, and institutional stakeholders.
The collaboration will support trade promotion, investment facilitation, market access, international business engagement, and broader international economic cooperation by creating opportunities for government representatives to connect with relevant private-sector and institutional stakeholders.
Creating Opportunities Across International Markets
By combining MIE Groups’ international exhibitions and business-event platforms with ITC’s global business network, the partnership will create additional opportunities for businesses and stakeholders to identify relevant markets, establish strategic connections, and explore potential commercial and investment opportunities.
The collaboration will bring together a diverse ecosystem of exhibitors, sponsors, investors, buyers, distributors, government representatives, industry leaders, and business organisations, supporting meaningful engagement across selected international markets.
Through exhibitions, conferences, networking opportunities, B2B matchmaking, strategic introductions, and business engagements, the partnership will provide participating organisations with platforms to develop connections and explore opportunities for long-term cooperation.
A Commitment to International Trade and Investment
Through this collaboration, MIE Groups and the International Trade Council share a commitment to connecting markets, facilitating meaningful business relationships, supporting international trade and investment, and creating platforms where businesses and stakeholders can discover opportunities and build long-term partnerships.
The partnership will commence across MIE Groups’ upcoming 2026 exhibitions, with further collaboration planned throughout the 2027 portfolio and beyond.
