Dubai Chambers is actively seeking to enhance economic connections between the business sectors of Dubai and the Czech Republic. A recent meeting hosted a delegation headed by Petr Michal, President of the Prague Chamber of Commerce, during which both parties underscored their dedication to fostering collaboration in investment, trade, and the evolving digital economy.
Strengthening Bilateral Trade Relations
Held at the Dubai Chambers headquarters, the meeting saw the participation of H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers. Discussions centered around exploring avenues to bolster bilateral trade and investment, as well as cooperative initiatives that benefit enterprises in both regions. A significant highlight was the focus on enhancing collaboration within the digital economy—a sector that is rapidly growing and full of potential for both markets. Michal emphasized the keen interest among Czech businesses to invest and expand their operations in Dubai across various sectors.
Commitment to Mutual Advancement
H.E. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah articulated Dubai Chambers’ commitment to elevating economic ties with the Czech Republic, aiming to create reciprocal benefits for both parties. He stated, “Our discussions concentrated on forming high-value partnerships that enhance business relationships and unlock new opportunities for private sector operators.

Growing Czech Presence in Dubai
In a notable achievement for the partnership, 46 new Czech companies became members of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce in 2025. This surge brought the total number of active Czech businesses affiliated with the chamber to 145 by the end of the previous year, marking a remarkable annual growth rate of 28.3%. Such growth signals strong interest and increasing activity among Czech firms looking to tap into the lucrative Dubai market.
Economic Impact and Future Prospects
The non-oil trade value between Dubai and the Czech Republic reached approximately AED 5.3 billion in 2024—a significant increase of 14% when compared to the previous year. This upward trend illustrates the potential for further growth in trade relations as both regions continue to strengthen their economic ties. The ongoing emphasis on investment opportunities, particularly in the burgeoning digital sector, suggests a bright future for collaborations between Dubai and the Czech Republic.
In conclusion, Dubai Chambers and the Prague Chamber of Commerce are taking significant steps to enrich economic relations and expand business opportunities. With mutual commitments to investment and trade, the prospects for companies in both regions appear promising. The strengthened ties are poised to unlock new avenues for growth and collaboration, underscoring the importance of international partnerships in today’s dynamic business landscape.
