DP World: Strategic Partner Anchoring DELIVER Middle East
As Headline Sponsor and Launch Partner, DP World will take centre stage at DELIVER Middle East, leveraging its stature as a global end-to-end logistics provider to support the regional roll-out of the DELIVER model.
Through this MoU, DP World now plays a strategic role in affirming DELIVER’s renowned matchmaking-led event format in the Middle East.
“This partnership with DELIVER underscores DP World’s commitment to reinforcing Dubai’s position as a leading global trade gateway,” said Beat Simon, Group Chief Operating Officer, Logistics, DP World. “We are proud to support the launch of DELIVER Middle East, a world-class platform set to drive meaningful business connections, innovation, and forge partnerships across the regional and global supply chain ecosystem.”
Dubai: The Strategic Choice for DELIVER Middle East
The choice of Dubai as the host city for DELIVER Middle East is a deliberate and strategic one. It is a strong affirmation of the emirate’s powerful status as a global logistics and commerce hub. With its world-class infrastructure, cutting-edge free zones, and strategic positioning at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Dubai has established itself as a gateway for international trade and supply chain innovation.
At the heart of this infrastructure lies Jebel Ali Port, the largest port in the Middle East, managed and operated by DP World. It serves as a vital artery in global freight movement, handling millions of containers annually and seamlessly integrating maritime, road, air, and rail logistics. Dubai’s commitment to digitalisation, sustainability, and smart trade has earned its global recognition as a top destination for investment in logistics and commerce. This commitment to growth is further seen at Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), DP World’s flagship free zone, which hosts over 11,000 businesses, connecting them via its infrastructure to over 3.5 billion consumers by sea, air and land. Having recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, the enduring strength of Jafza’a purpose-built ecosystem is testament to the world-class logistics infrastructure and business-friendly policies that it provides.
Through the DELIVER Middle East event, the emirate will further strengthen its leadership position, welcoming global and regional stakeholders from across the retail, logistics, e- commerce, and supply chain ecosystem.
A Shared Vision for Global Impact
The DELIVER–DP World partnership is founded on a shared ambition: to establish the premier Middle Eastern event for the supply chain, commerce, and logistics community. By combining DELIVER’s global event expertise with DP World’s local influence and infrastructure, the collaboration will drive forward the region’s positioning as a nexus for global trade innovation.
“Our 10th anniversary edition is the perfect stage for this announcement,” said Stéphane Tomczak, Founder and Chairman of DELIVER. “DP World’s leadership and Dubai’s logistics ecosystem provide the ideal foundation for a transformative regional platform. Together, we are creating not just another event – but a high-impact, world-class marketplace for the most influential actors in the global supply chain.”
