Partner Julia Onslow-Cole will moderate a high-profile panel at the 4th Arab-British Economic Summit (ABES) 2025, titled “Powering UK-MENA Trade: The Role of Innovation, Infrastructure, and Gateway Hubs like Dubai.”
The session will explore how trade and tourism infrastructure, strategic investment, and innovation are shaping future corridors of opportunity between the UK and the fast-growing markets of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Key topics include the impact of free zones like Jafza, regional manufacturing growth, cross-border collaboration, and updates on GCC-UK FTA negotiations.
She will be joined by panelists including Sarah Mooney (HM Trade Commissioner for the Middle East and Pakistan), Tom Wintle (UK-GCC FTA Chief Negotiator), Ebtessam Alkaabi (Jafza), and Karim Fatehi OBE (London Chamber of Commerce and Industry).
