DHL, Abu Dhabi Chamber sign deal to support SMEs

DHL Express has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry to provide logistics support and international shipping solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE.

The agreement aims to help SMEs improve access to global markets by offering faster international shipping services and logistics support tailored to business requirements. The partnership is expected to support companies looking to expand exports and strengthen cross-border trade operations from the UAE.

Mahmoud Haj Hussein, Country Manager of DHL Express UAE, said: “Through this partnership with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce, we are committed to empowering SMEs with education, access to expertise, and practical support that enables them to expand confidently into global markets. By combining our global trade knowledge with the Chamber’s strong local network, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for businesses to grow beyond borders.”

The move comes as SMEs in the UAE continue to look for reliable logistics networks to manage international deliveries, reduce shipping delays and improve supply chain efficiency. Businesses are also increasingly seeking faster customs clearance and better connectivity with overseas markets as regional trade activity grows.
