Business forums like these open up new opportunities and help forge valuable business connections.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>"The UAE Minister of Economy highlighted that Lithuania and the UAE share many common goals in business development, creating significant potential for bilateral cooperation and partnerships to grow," said Buziliauskienė.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The UAE has undertaken many legal and regulatory reforms, established new free economic zones, and rapidly developed talent cultivation programs. These initiatives aim to attract international businesses and foster beneficial partnerships. Key strategic areas for the UAE currently include cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud services, and software and hardware development.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>"The UAE has ambitious goals to double its national economy by 2031, aiming for a value of approximately €700 billion. Foreign direct investment in the country is also on the rise, increasing by 35% last year. The UAE is striving to build a knowledge and digital economy based on advanced technologies and clean energy. It is essential to seize the growth opportunities in this market and leverage the strategic importance of the UAE in diversifying Lithuanian exports," said Buziliauskienė.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Trade between Lithuania and the UAE continues to grow, rising by 22% last year to €216 million. Lithuania's ICT service exports to the UAE also saw substantial growth in 2023, surpassing €24 million.

The UAE also participated in one of the Innovation Agency's strategic events, "Life Sciences Baltics," where partnerships with representatives from the life sciences sector were established and continue to be developed.
