A group of 21 students from Germany’s Hamburg School of Business Administration (HSBA) visited the University of Dubai (UD) on October 8 to gain an understanding of the economic and political strategy of Dubai in the light of the city’s successful Expo 2020 bid.

In a welcome note, Dr Issa Bastaki, President of UD, described the dynamism and innovativeness of the UAE’s rulers, which have led Dubai and the UAE to unprecedented levels of progress.

Yousef Beydoun, Dubai Airports Head of Cargo & Logistics Control Authorities, spoke on the ‘Focus & Strategy of Dubai Airports for Expo 2020’. The presentation provided an overview of the developmental stages of Dubai in terms of infrastructure progress, and financial and investment opportunities.

Beydoun stressed on two fundamental points in Dubai’s success: the long term vision and determination of the rulers of the UAE to make things happen and the strategic location of the country which makes it a hub in the region.

With such a powerful combination, Dubai has been able to reach remarkable heights of development, he said. Winning Expo 2020 is one of the biggest accomplishments of Dubai, and hopes are high that it will achieve more successes in future, Beydoun added.
