Diamonds
Dubai has joined leading international diamond centres including Antwerp, New York and Mumbai as an international diamond trading and value-adding centre of global significance. DMCC has been instrumental in implementing the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) in the United Arab Emirates as part of its endeavour to streamline the trade with global standards and protecting the legitimate diamond industry.
The UAE is proudly the first Arab country to implement KPCS.
The facilitation of trade of rough and polished diamonds through the Dubai Diamond Exchange has provided major impetus to the diamond industry in Dubai and the region.
The Centre accommodates every facet of the business - manufacturing, trade, education, certification and technology. Alliances with other players in the trade such as financial organizations, government institutions, etc, promotes complete growth of the industry. The DMCC facilities also includes bringing the best of educational institutions to Dubai, making the latest in technology and processes available to the local and regional market.
Housed in the purpose-built landmark Almas Tower (Almas means ‘diamond’ in Arabic), Dubai’s diamond community is set to sparkle more brightly than ever.
