DMCC and the creator of Dubai's "commercial heart"

Dubai, a country famous for its skyscrapers, seaports and globally connected airports, is increasingly known not only for its landscape but also for its professionally operated commercial ecosystem. In that ecosystem, DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) plays a key and important role in the transformation process that makes Dubai a "gateway" for trade in the region. The head of DMCC, billionaire Ahmed Bin Sulayem, is considered the main "architect" of this ambition.

DMCC: From Free Trade Zone to Global Ecosystem

In 2002, DMCC was established with the goal of turning Dubai into a commodity trading center. To date, more than 2 decades have passed, DMCC has become one of the largest free trade zones in the world . Owning more than 25,000 member businesses, from about 180 countries. DMCC is not simply a "free zone" in the traditional sense, it is a multi-industry ecosystem integrating infrastructure, trading platforms, business support services and specialized trade promotion programs.

DMCC’s outstanding strength lies in its business facilitation mechanism: from the digitized company establishment process, allowing 100% foreign ownership, service packages including visa, logistics, insurance and office, and friendly tax policies. This ecosystem works effectively with specialized exchanges such as diamonds, gold, silver and essential goods, while developing new technology areas from Blockchain to AI and Metaverse, to create added value for members.

Mr. Ahmed Bin Sulayem - influence and leadership direction

To become one of the largest free trade zones in the world, it is impossible not to mention the soul of DMCC - Mr. Ahmed Bin Sulayem. As Chairman and CEO of DMCC, Mr. Ahmed Bin Sulayem has led DMCC to expand both in scale and quality of services, attract a diverse business community and create internationally reputable trading platforms. Mr. Ahmed also holds key roles in a number of other important organizations and exchanges such as Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX), institutions that determine Dubai's reputation in the global jewelry and precious metals market.

In addition to his governance role, Mr. Ahmed is known for driving initiatives for supply chain transparency and digital transformation in commodity trading. His leadership or involvement in international efforts on diamond provenance governance (such as the Kimberley Process) demonstrates his vision for integrating market development and maintaining industry ethical standards. From a leadership perspective, he focuses on three elements: connectivity, standardization, and innovation - pillars that make DMCC not just a large marketplace but a responsible “hub” with global standards.

Invitation for Vietnamese businesses to join DMCC and the companionship of Jemmia

In recent years, Mr. Ahmed Bin Sulayem has proactively visited and worked in Vietnam, meeting with businesses, industry leaders and typical brands.

At the trade promotion event "Made For Trade Live - Ho Chi Minh In Focus" organized by DMCC in Ho Chi Minh City in June 2024, Jemmia Diamond participated as a co-organizer and was one of the typical brands representing Vietnam.

During the event, Mr. Ahmed Bin Sulayem highly appreciated Jemmia Diamond's business philosophy, which is built on six core values: ethics, legal responsibility, distilling the essence, verifying quality, creating masterpieces and preserving value.

The exchange between DMCC and Jemmia is considered an important step, opening up opportunities for Jemmia Diamond to access the global diamond supply chain. By June 2025, Jemmia will officially become one of the first Vietnamese diamond enterprises headquartered at DMCC Dubai, marking an important milestone in the Vietnamese brand's journey to international expansion.

At the end of October 2025, Jemmia continued to accompany two DMCC trade promotion seminars held in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi .

This partnership has a double meaning: in terms of trade - Jemmia gets closer to international trading channels, in terms of culture - Vietnamese brands are directly recognized and invited by DMCC, thereby raising the position of Vietnamese enterprises on the global map.
