Business Council Colombia

About

The Colombian Business Council in Dubai is a non-profit organization established by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in June 2024 to strengthen bilateral trade and investment relations between Colombia and the United Arab Emirates. Registered with the Dubai Chamber, the council serves as a vital platform for enhancing economic cooperation between the two markets, representing the interests of Colombian companies and investors operating in Dubai while facilitating meaningful connections within the local business community.

The council provides comprehensive support to businesses through advisory services on local regulations, networking events, and cultural initiatives that promote Colombian heritage in the UAE. With a focus on facilitating international trade and investment opportunities, the council organizes seminars, business forums, and commercial missions designed to foster trust-based relationships between entrepreneurs and enterprises in both countries. Through its tiered membership programs—ranging from individual to corporate levels—the council offers members access to market intelligence, promotional opportunities, strategic partnerships, and exclusive business development resources.

As part of Dubai's broader economic agenda to expand global trade connections, the Colombian Business Council plays a strategic role in opening new channels of economic cooperation, supporting the growth of Colombian businesses in the UAE market, and enabling Dubai-based companies to explore opportunities in Colombia and the broader Latin American region.
