Membership Overview
Around 40,000 South Africans currently live in the UAE. SABCO
helps its members, not only to find each other but also encourages
them to become advisers to newcomers, explaining what to expect
when they arrive, either to start a business or to work here.
SABCO members' activities include:
- Networking events, such as hosting and organising in-coming
South African delegations;
- Special breakfasts, luncheons or sessions featuring prominent
guest speakers;
- Regular updates on current business and economic climate, major
trade shows and UAE-related events;
- Providing opportunities for members of the South African
business community in the UAE to network with their peers;
- Identification and referral of business opportunities to
members as they relate to their business activities;
- Promotion of member companies - corporate image, products and
services;
- Fostering and encouraging close relationships between the
council and its members and UAE nationals, government and corporate
institutions;
- Encouraging networking between South African individuals and
companies based in the UAE and across the region; and
