GTR MENA Dubai

GTR MENA is one of the leading trade fairs specializing in trade, export, commodity, and supply chain finance across the MENA region. Held annually at the prestigious Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, it has, for years, attracted a wide range of key decision-makers and industry leaders from the region and beyond. The event is organized by GTR (Global Trade Review), a globally recognized media and events company that has been hosting leading conferences and publications on international trade since 2002.

What makes GTR MENA particularly relevant is its dedicated focus on the financial and strategic challenges facing trade in one of the world's most dynamic economic regions. Unlike many other events that cover general themes, GTR MENA brings together over 80 senior experts from banks, financial institutions, multinational corporations, insurers, fintechs, risk management firms, and legal advisors. Together, they explore the latest developments in trade and export finance, with a strong emphasis on risk assessment, digitalization, and economic resilience.

Key topics range from economic outlooks in times of global uncertainty ("Tariff Dividend") and regional trade diversification to strategies for managing supply chain risks and technological innovations such as the use of artificial intelligence in global trade.

The exhibition area features over 45 specialized providers from the trade and export finance ecosystem, including banks, technology companies, insurers, and consultancies. The event also offers a well-curated matchmaking program and exclusive networking sessions designed to foster meaningful connections among more than 500 participating companies across the trade, finance, and technology sectors. Attendees primarily represent industries such as banking, fintech, corporate finance, commodities, manufacturing, logistics, and legal services—many with a strong focus on markets like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and North Africa.

As part of the global GTR event series—which spans key financial hubs including London, Singapore, and Cape Town—GTR MENA serves as the region’s premier platform for trade-related dialogue. Dubai, with its world-class infrastructure, global connectivity, and strategic geopolitical position, provides the ideal setting for such a flagship event.

With its unique blend of expert knowledge, regional insight, and international reach, GTR MENA sets the standard for trade finance in the region. Its venue—the Jumeirah Emirates Towers—embodies the modern, connected, and forward-looking spirit of the event and is easily accessible from Dubai International Airport and all major business districts across the city.

The GTR MENA will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 10. February to Wednesday, 11. February 2026 in Dubai.
