Since 2000
About MIE Groups
MIE Groups is an international exhibitions and business-events organiser headquartered in Dubai. Since 2000 we have built platforms that connect government, industry, investors, buyers and suppliers across high-growth markets.
MIE Groups was founded in Dubai in 2000 to connect markets and help businesses expand with confidence. Over 26 years the group has grown from a single trade platform into a portfolio of 18 exhibition and conference brands running across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the USA, supported by research, destination management and hospitality divisions.
The work is practical rather than promotional. Every platform is built to produce a documented outcome: suppliers meeting distributors, project owners meeting financiers, delegations meeting the agencies that regulate their market. Our Business Intelligence division publishes the country and sector research that organisations use to decide whether to enter a market at all.
MIE Groups holds ICCA membership and achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2019, and works with ministries, trade bodies and industry associations across the markets it serves. The group's companies include MIE Events DMCC, Massbetter Travel & Tourism L.L.C, Summer Palace and MIE Holiday Homes.
“Our purpose is simple: bring together government and the private sector, connect global suppliers with regional demand, and enable partnerships that deliver measurable outcomes.”
