During a visit to the US, UAE Minister Al Zeyoudi highlighted the country's growing tech ecosystem and its opportunities for US companies looking to scale their operations and access high-growth markets. The UAE has invested $35 billion in the US, with bilateral non-oil trade reaching $28.3 billion in the first nine months of 2024, a 46.2% growth from the same period in 2019. Al Zeyoudi met with C-suite executives from leading tech companies such as Accenture and Qualcomm to discuss advanced technology partnerships. The UAE is also expanding its trade ties through its Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) programme, which aims to foster greater connectivity with strategic global markets.
