In a recent meeting, the Ajman Chamber of Commerce reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing participation in the national initiative aimed at “zeroing out bureaucracy,” alongside providing proactive services. These efforts are designed to bolster local product exports and attract direct investments, underlining the Chamber’s focus on economic growth and competitiveness. This article delves into the significant discussions that took place, highlighting the steps being taken to modernize services and cultivate a more business-friendly environment in Ajman.
A Strong Commitment to Reducing Bureaucracy
The Board of Directors of the Ajman Chamber emphasized the importance of intensifying efforts to engage in the “zeroing out bureaucracy” governmental program. During the third board meeting of 2025, held at the “Thara” Entrepreneurship Center, the discussion was spearheaded by Engineer Abdullah Al-Muwaiji, Chairman of the Board. The meeting also included Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al-Nuaimi, Vice Chairman, and other board members, including Salem Al-Suwaidi, Director-General of the Ajman Chamber.
Enhancing Competitiveness and Attracting Investments
Engineer Abdullah Al-Muwaiji articulated the Ajman Chamber’s dedication to rejuvenating services and launching innovative initiatives aimed at enhancing the emirate’s competitiveness. This approach is designed not only to attract investments but also to explore new markets for Ajman’s products. This strategic focus is crucial for expanding trade relationships and elevating the emirate’s status on the global economic map, particularly given the impressive growth in the value of certificates of origin issued by the Chamber. In the first half of this year, there was over a 40% increase compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting a total of more than 21.6 billion Dirhams issued over the past three years.
Exploring New Opportunities in Franchise Growth
The meeting also touched upon various topics related to the Ajman Chamber’s efforts in franchise development. Discussions included collaboration with the subcommittee of the UAE Franchise Association within the emirate. This focus on franchises represents a significant avenue for economic expansion, as it allows local businesses to leverage established brands and business models, fostering a sustainable growth environment.
The Ajman Chamber’s commitment to “zeroing out bureaucracy” and providing proactive services demonstrates a clear vision for the future. The aim is not only to streamline processes but also to create a thriving ecosystem for businesses, ensuring that Ajman remains a competitive and attractive destination for investment and trade.
