DHL Express UAE and IFZA (international Free Zones Authority), one of UAE’s leading global business enablement platforms, have announced a strategic partnership designed to help businesses established in Dubai take the next step in their growth journey – expanding into international markets.
Under the partnership, eligible businesses within the IFZA community will gain access to preferential DHL Express shipping rates, connecting them to customers and commercial opportunities across more than 220 countries and territories.
Beyond logistics, the partnership will focus on addressing one of the key challenges businesses face when looking to expand internationally: understanding how to navigate global trade.
Equipping entrepreneurs
IFZA members will have access to DHL GoTrade, a practical capacity-building programme that equips entrepreneurs and SMEs with the knowledge required to trade across borders more effectively.
“Through our partnership with IFZA, we want to make that next step more accessible. By combining our global network with practical trade education through DHL GoTrade, we can help businesses understand how to navigate cross-border trade, reach new customers and pursue international growth with greater confidence,” stated Mahmoud Haj Hussein, Managing Director, DHL Express UAE.
“Our partnership with DHL Express UAE strengthens this proposition by giving businesses access to one of the world’s leading international logistics networks alongside practical knowledge that can help them navigate global trade. Together, we are creating a stronger pathway for businesses to move from ambition to international opportunity,” added Jochen Knecht, CEO, IFZA Global.
