India and UAE have re-energised their bilateral trade relations, which have been boosted by the frequent visits of both countries’ leaders in a short span of 2 years to discuss the future of trade and investments.
It is evident that both countries are gaining a strong foothold in terms of contributing to the global economy and establishing their authority. Connected by age-old bonds and culture, they have always been an integral part of each other’s economy. This also shows in India’s escalation to the 2nd largest trade partner for UAE, with the bilateral trade value reaching US$ 50 billion in 2015–16.
Recent developments have further strengthened the relationship, opening a universe of opportunities. With both governments showing clarity in their vision to gain the most from this partnership, the previously ambitious goal of reaching US$ 100 billion in trade by 2020 now seems achievable.
The UAE-India Economic Forum represents a new dawn in the multifaceted economic relationship between the amicable countries.
The vision of US$ 100 billion in bilateral trade by 2020 can only be achieved with sustained efforts to constantly engage the key stakeholders, government authorities and investors in a dialogue which strengthens their faith in the establishment
and the governments of the two countries—something that the forum has been successfully doing for the past two years.
Combining the above with awards and recognition, the forum honours businessmen from the two countries for their contribution to the economies of their home and host countries. Our belief in the economic prowess of the two countries has been confirmed by the support and encouragement we have received time and again through the backing and endorsements of key government bodies from both India and UAE.
The forum, which was inaugurated by Hon. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport Highways and Shipping, Government of India along with H.E. Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Infrastructure, UAE in 2016 and by H.E. Arun Jaitley, Minister of Finance, Government of India in 2015, will now reach the next level with another set of key ministers from both sides, along with businessmen and investors who have been fueling the economy of their respective countries.
The forum serves as a window of opportunities to discuss regulations and policies for prospective investors and to understand the key areas of focus for government bodies. The presence of sovereign wealth funds, large corporates and industries at this gathering has been only getting stronger over the past two years.

Awards will be presented in the following categories:
One of the primary goals of the all-important UAE-India Economic Forum is honouring businessmen from both countries who have contributed extensively to the growth of their home and resident countries. The last edition saw some of the biggest names in the UAE business community take home the coveted awards.
The Qadat Al Tagheer Awards are back, with the philosophy that good work should always be appreciated at the highest level.
Transcending all boundaries and leading by example, these leaders and their organisations have been the epitome of business excellence in their respective sectors, and in the process, have contributed significantly to the economies of UAE and India.
They have worked tirelessly towards achieving their dreams, and the awards recognise the one thing that all of them have in common—attaining unparalleled heights in their career and
giving back to their countries and communities. They have ensured that their businesses, aside from making great profits, also touch the lives of their fellow citizens and employees and have helped shape their future for the better.
These awards will also honour and recognise the efforts of government leaders who have worked towards fostering trade relations between India and UAE. With more impetus being given to increased business and investments across both nations, the awards will highlight the opportunities that exist in these countries, which continue to grow even in these troubled times of global slowdown.
For anyone who wants to be a part of the growth story of these two great nations and network with the people who have been shaping their economies, attending the awards, along with the UAE-India Economic Forum, will provide the exposure and networking opportunities that could shape their future investment and operational strategies.
