Parliamentary Reception 20th April 2026

Written By Guest User

We were delighted to host Parliamentarians, key stakeholders and our member companies at a special Reception at the House of Lords yesterday to discuss the trade and investment relationship between the UAE and the UK.

Despite the challenges of the current regional conflict, there was a spirit of optimism in the room about the potential for future growth in bilateral trade and the opportunities for creating new partnerships that are rich in innovation and technology.

We are truly grateful to Lord Jason Stockwood, the UK's Minister of State for Investment, HE Badr Jafar, the UAE's Special Envoy for Business & Philanthropy, and Simon Penney CMG and his team at Innovo Group for sharing their insights and for supporting the event.

The Reception also marked the launch of our new White Paper on Opportunities for UK-UAE Collaboration in the Skills Sector, and you will be able to download this here
