Thanks to their geographic location between Europe, Asia, and Africa, the UAE has developed into a global hub for maritime logistics, container handling, and re-export activities. At the same time, Oman is making targeted investments in the expansion of specialized port infrastructure, modern logistics corridors, and sustainable transport solutions with direct access to the Indian Ocean.
There is a growing demand for innovative technologies and international expertise, particularly in the areas of port operations, automation, digital logistics solutions, sustainable energy supply, maintenance, as well as maritime IT and cybersecurity applications. This creates an attractive market environment for German companies, characterized by strong investment dynamics, clear modernization objectives, and long-term cooperation potential.
The market exploration delegation to Oman and the UAE is specifically aimed at German small and medium-sized enterprises as well as business-related service providers in the fields of transport, logistics, and port infrastructure. The objective of the delegation is to support companies in assessing market opportunities, getting to know relevant stakeholders, and identifying concrete entry points for business development in the region.
On site, participants will gain practical insights into current market conditions and regulatory frameworks, take part in expert discussions, workshops, and company visits, and establish direct contacts with institutions, port operators, authorities, and potential business partners in both countries.
