DMCC – the world’s leading free zone and Dubai Government Authority for commodities trade and enterprise – announced its official support for the GPC Convention in 2020 – the global pulse industry’s premier event – which will take place next year at the Grand Hyatt Dubai.

“Facilitating global trade, convening industry experts and making it easier to do business is precisely what DMCC does. We see a real opportunity for Dubai to increase its involvement in pulses, and use its strategic location as a hub for the trade – especially in the build-up to Expo 2020 in Dubai. DMCC has a fantastic longstanding relationship with the Global Pulse Confederation, and we look forward to welcoming the international pulse community to Dubai,” said Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC.

"We are delighted to announce that Dubai has been selected as the host city for the GPC 2020 Convention,” said GPC President Cindy Brown. “There is clearly a flourishing marketplace for agricultural goods in Dubai, and our event will place the spotlight on pulse trade in the UAE like never before.” 

Sudhakar Tomar, GPC Executive Committee member, added, “With Expo 2020 Dubai around the corner, Dubai represents a huge opportunity for all those connected to the pulse trade and I would like to thank DMCC for connecting us to this exciting part of the world. We are very excited to welcome all the guests, and show them the legendary hospitality and vibrant entrepreneurial air of Dubai.”
