“This partnership presents a dynamic working environment for Dubai to exploit its growing reputation as a life sciences knowledge hub by uniting efforts to attract health conferences to Dubai while also continuing the overall goal of positioning Dubai as a global business hub,” said Hamad Bin Mejren, Executive Director of DTCM.
