David Cameron to address Port City Colombo UAE Roadshow

David Cameron

As Port City Colombo (PCC) is set to launch a roadshow in the UAE, showcasing investment opportunities and incentives for global investors, former UK Prime Minister David Cameron will address an exclusive, closed-door forum.

This significant event marks the initiation of a key global marketing drive, inviting investors from across the world to explore the diverse investment prospects available at PCC. 

Cameron will shed light on the strengthening ties between the UAE, Indo-Pacific region and the role of Sri Lanka in this new trend, which is gaining increased momentum. The discussion will showcase the UAE’s role as an international player that can concurrently engage with multiple partners, including in the Indo-Pacific region. Expected to represent more than 50 percent of the global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2040, Asia is increasingly becoming the new economic global power centre of the 21st century. In this context, the UAE aims to strengthen its connections with the Indo-Pacific region and Sri Lanka will play a crucial role in this partnership with its trade and investment offerings, particularly through the upcoming multi-billion dollar PCC development project.

“The Port City Colombo UAE Roadshow arrives on the heels of a significant milestone achieved by the Colombo Port City Economic Commission (CPCEC) recently gaining the Cabinet approval for its Businesses of Strategic Importance (BSI) Guidelines, a move that underscores its commitment to transforming PCC into a globally competitive special economic zone,” PCC said in a statement to the media.

The UAE Roadshow event is designed to empower investors with valuable insights and networking opportunities. The event will feature sessions dedicated to investor presentations, offering a platform for in-depth discussions on investment prospects and strategies. International keynote speakers and panel discussions on investment trends will further provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics and opportunities within PCC.

Promising unparalleled networking opportunities, the roadshow will also allow potential investors to connect with key stakeholders, decision makers and industry experts. This engagement will foster collaborative relationships and provide investors with the support they need to succeed within PCC’s soon-to-be-thriving business ecosystem. Through the UAE Roadshow, PCC is demonstrating its potential and commitment towards emerging as a global economic powerhouse.
