The exhibition also aims at increasing awareness and knowledge on franchising and the promising opportunities this sector provides for the UAE.”
Franchising has become one of the most promising economic sector considering it an important competitive platform and a key tool for investors and entrepreneurs. “The main goal behind this event is offering an outstanding opportunity for successful cooperation and active partnerships between foreign and Emirati companies with owners of small and medium enterprises as well as giving them the opportunity to share their experiences and take a closer look at the best international practices in franchising,” Al Mheiri added.
The two-day exhibition will include interactive sessions and workshops for companies and potential investors and will highlight the basics of franchising economy.
