Honorary membership recognises IFZA’s role in supporting Dubai’s professional and business services ecosystem
The Honorary Membership was formally presented during a certificate ceremony and meeting hosted at IFZA, bringing together representatives from IFZA and DPBG to mark the beginning of a strategic relationship focused on knowledge exchange, industry engagement and ecosystem development.
As DPBG’s first Honorary Member, IFZA will work with the group to support initiatives that connect professional services firms, encourage dialogue on key industry topics and create new opportunities for collaboration across Dubai’s business community.
Commenting on the announcement, Philipp Conrads, CEO of IFZA Dubai, said: “We are honoured to be recognised as the inaugural Honorary Member of the Dubai Professional Business Group. This milestone reflects IFZA’s commitment to contributing to Dubai’s professional services ecosystem and to creating platforms where businesses, entrepreneurs and industry leaders can connect, exchange insights and unlock new opportunities. We look forward to working closely with DPBG to support initiatives that strengthen the sector and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global hub for business.”
Tarik Tamimi, Chairman of the Dubai Professional Business Group, added: “We are delighted to welcome IFZA as DPBG’s first Honorary Member. IFZA’s strong market presence, international outlook and commitment to ecosystem-building make it an important partner for our group. Through this collaboration, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for professional services firms to engage, learn and grow together, while supporting the continued development of Dubai’s dynamic business environment.”
The partnership is expected to open new avenues for joint events, webinars and thought-leadership initiatives, with the first planned collaboration including a session at IFZA on 1 September. The initiative will focus on relevant topics for the professional services sector and further strengthen connections between DPBG members and IFZA’s wider network of professional partners.
