VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show 2018 & New UAE Initiatives Reaffirm Dubai As Pivotal Link In Global Jewellery Market Chain

The VOD Dubai International Jewellery Show (VOD DIJS), the MENA’s only B2B and B2C jewellery industry mega event, returns for its second instalment on November 14 to 17 at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). With strengthened show features and strategic partnerships alongside newly announced UAE initiatives aimed at positioning the country as an incubator for innovators and a hub for investors, this year’s VOD DIJS is set to further enhance the emirate’s standing as a pivotal link in the global jewellery market chain.

UAE Initiatives Bolster Trade

Recently announced UAE initiatives – such as the new VAT reverse charge mechanism for the jewellery B2B trade, the introduction of long-term investment visas, and 100% company ownership for international investors – are making VOD DIJS even more enticing for international jewellery producers interested in taking advantage of Dubai’s trading location.

More than a gateway, Dubai is traditionally one of the foremost importers and exporters of jewellery worldwide. These new moves along with VOD DIJS are likely to boost its standing even further, as the emirate attracts more investment and drives increased trade across the jewellery industry.

The Unmissable Jewellery Event Returns 

VOD DIJS is a combined effort organised by DV Global Link, a joint-venture company between Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and Italian Exhibition Group (IEG). Its trade-meets-consumer vision, strategic location, comprehensive pre-event road show, hosted buyers program, expansive trade opportunities and boutique customer experience provide a definitive platform to satisfy the dynamic demands of its stakeholders from international trade organisations to wholesalers, manufacturers, traders, retailers and end consumers.

With more than 500 local, regional and international exhibitors launching brand new product lines, collections and jewellery, and over 200,000 square feet of exhibition space, VOD DIJS delivers a unique approach and innovative format and layout, culminating in an enhanced visitor experience.

Strategic Partnerships Sealed

The second VOD DIJS will also continue to increase the emirate’s jewellery trading potential this year via several ongoing strategic partnerships with local and international trade organisations starting with Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group (DGJG) and India’s Gem Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), with more to be announced in the coming months. These partnerships allow further sharing and exchange of collective industry knowledge, expertise and network to realize the vision of VOD DIJS.

VOD DIJS is open from 2pm to 10pm on November 14, 15 and 17, 2018 and from 3pm to 10pm on Friday, November 16. Entry is free. For more information please visit www.jewelleryshow.com.
