THE MARKETPLACE
The Marketplace recreates a modern pop-up high street, showcasing a wide range of boutique offerings from young, upwardly mobile retailers and brands across Beauty, Cosmetics, Fashion, Footwear, Accessories and Homeware.
Showcasing enables ambitious entrepreneurs to demonstrate their brand and proposition to UAE interested parties in the most authentic manner, facilitating the necessary contacts and infrastructure to expand effectively beyond their domestic markets.
