FICCI to host B2B meetings in Pune to expand global business opportunities through UAE

Pune, February 9, 2026: A series of B2B meetings aimed at helping Indian businesses expand into global markets through the UAE will be organised in Pune by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), in collaboration with Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone), the Government of UAE, and the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA).

The B2B meetings will be held on February 10–11, 2026, at JW Marriott Hotel, Pune, under the theme “Expand Your Business into International Markets through the UAE.”

The initiative aims to create awareness among businesses across Pune and Maharashtra about the advantages of establishing operations in the UAE, particularly through SAIF Zone, which is regarded as one of the region’s most advanced, cost-effective and investor-friendly free zones.

The sessions will highlight how the UAE serves as a strategic global gateway for Indian companies looking to access markets in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and other international regions. Senior officials from SAIF Zone will directly interact with participating companies and provide practical insights on company formation, licensing, warehousing, logistics solutions and market entry strategies.

Participants will also gain an understanding of how to leverage the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) for trade facilitation, tariff benefits and streamlined regulatory processes.

For registration and confirmation of meeting slots, interested participants may contact Mr. Ashutosh at 9650903299, organisers said.
