The world’s flagship Free Zone and Government of Dubai Authority on commodities trade and enterprise, DMCC, has announced the official opening of a representative office in Shenzhen, China.

The move is in partnership with Yingtian Global, an award-winning Corporate Service Provider.

It has supported the expansion of more than 300 Chinese businesses in the MENA region.

DMCC has developed a dedicated website for the office offering fast information access to help Chinese firms.

It will also provide advisory and consulting services in a common language, a convenient time zone and provide a host of services such as signature witnessing and document verification.

Having a physical presence in the southeastern city will bring DMCC to the doorstep of Chinese businesses and offer a simpler route to set up in Dubai without the need to travel.
