Dubai: The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its counterpart in Tel Aviv, represented by the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, have signed a partnership agreement, which will come up with a study on "sectors of mutual interest".
Under the terms, they will also create a roadmap of "virtual events" and host a joint business forum. They will put their support behind startups and scale-ups with readily available resources. Other aspects cover areas such as research, arbitration, women-in-business, best-practices, sustainability and advocacy.
