DP World Group Chairman and CEO Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: "Creating better supply chains depends on industry collaboration and sharing of knowledge to help the sector identify and resolve inefficiency."
 
"Real-time data is now the norm and the need for collaboration grows as well. we understand the value it offers and are pleased to support the GPCA given that the value and volume of trade through Jafza reinforces the national economy," he noted.
 
In his keynote speech at the conference, CEO and Managing Director of DP World, UAE Region and Jafza CEO Mohammed Al Muallem highlighted the value of sector-wide collaboration, citing both Dubai and DP World’s success.
