IFZA Global Participates in UAE Delegation During Landmark State Visit to Germany

Dubai, UAE, 15 September 2026

IFZA Global, represented by CFO Holger Schlechter, was proud to participate in the State Visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Germany last week.

The visit highlighted the strength and growing importance of UAE-Germany relations, with both nations reaffirming their commitment to deeper cooperation across trade, investment, innovation, energy, technology, sustainability, and economic development.

Among the key outcomes announced during the visit were the launch of a new UAE-Germany Strategic Dialogue and the establishment of the German-UAE Investment Council, initiatives designed to strengthen engagement between public and private sector stakeholders and unlock new opportunities for bilateral collaboration.

The visit also reinforced the role of business communities in advancing international partnerships and supporting economic growth. Bringing together government representatives, institutional stakeholders, and private sector leaders, the programme demonstrated a shared ambition to deepen commercial ties and foster investment between the UAE and Germany.

Building on this momentum, IFZA signed a series of Memoranda of Understanding with German companies across key sectors, including industrial manufacturing, advanced technology, and AI innovation, during the UAE-Germany State Visit. The agreements outline planned investment and expansion initiatives in the UAE, with a combined potential investment commitment of approximately €1 billion.

As the leading international business enablement platform, IFZA continues to support entrepreneurs, investors, and companies seeking to establish and expand their presence in the Middle East and beyond.

IFZA remains committed to supporting international business growth and fostering meaningful connections between global investors and the UAE’s dynamic economic ecosystem.
