The Israel Export Institute and the Dubai World Trade Center have signed an agreement to facilitate the participation of Israeli exhibitors in large-scale exhibitions by the end of this year. The accord is a first step toward a “comprehensive” trade agreement that will be signed in the coming weeks between Israel and the United Arab Emirates government, Amir Peretz, Israel’s minister of economy and industry, said in a statement on Monday. The export potential to the UAE is estimated at $500 million per year across a number of key sectors including technology, agriculture, food technologies, cybersecurity and medicine, the statement added, citing Israeli government estimates.
