VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show has announced that it has strengthened its commercial proposition for more than 500 local, regional and international exhibitors by partnering with Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, DMCC.

The partnership will enhance VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show’s platform as a conduit for increased jewellery trading - specifically gold, precious metals and gems - out of Dubai. As part of the agreement, DMCC supports the wider industry by encouraging innovation, technology development and the implementation of value-added services across the emirate’s jewellery trading ecosystem.

One of five strategic partnerships earmarked by VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show - which runs from 15th to 18th November at Dubai World Trade Centre - to enhance the show’s regional and international networking capacity, the DMCC alliance will facilitate trading potential among manufacturers, retailers, distributors and end buyers to further underline Dubai’s position at the fulcrum of the global jewellery industry.

"I would describe Dubai as the jewellery capital of the world right now, yet the global industry is changing due to disruptive technologies, new customer demands and an increase in costs that mean traders and jewellery retailers must adapt," said DMCC’s Innovation Hub Director, Franco Bosoni. "VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show will provide a great opportunity for our business customers and retailers to sample and gauge emerging trends, and develop innovative solutions to ensure future growth. It’s the perfect environment to promote what both Dubai and DMCC are doing on a global level and, at the same time, help local and international market participants connect."

"We are fostering a number of important strategic partnerships for November’s VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show and this latest collaboration with DMCC, which currently boasts a membership of around 13,700 businesses, will grant us access to even more of the robust jewellery industry’s key players - from manufacturers and retailers to distributors and, of course, end buyers," said Emanuele Guido, General Manager, DV Global Link, which organises VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show. "As Dubai’s consolidated jewellery international mega event, such partnerships only serve to strengthen our reputation as the world’s leading trading hub for gold, jewellery, gemstones and diamonds."
