The Canada-UAE Business Council (CUBC) is the premier business-led organization dedicated to fostering greater trade and investment between Canada and the UAE. CUBC members are senior decision makers of best-in-class private corporations and organisations.
The CUBC seeks to facilitate long-term relationships and strategic initiatives that will improve overall bilateral market-accessibility and will advance commercial relations.
“The UAE is a very attractive hub for Canadian companies, for small and medium-sized businesses to use obviously to export to the whole region.”
“Trade ties between the UAE and Canada are robust and evolving steadily.”
In 2013, the foreign ministers of Canada and the UAE announced the Canada-UAE Strategic Agenda to strengthen and energize the bilateral relationship. The Agenda has three pillars: Prosperity, Security, and Development. As part of the prosperity pillar, the ministers jointly created the Canada-UAE Business Council (CUBC).
The CUBC was incorporated in Toronto in 2016.
The Council’s head office opened in downtown Toronto the following year.
A permanent presence was setup in Dubai in 2019. The primary mandate of the organization is to play a central role in government-to-business engagement and a supporting role in government-to-government engagement.
