April 27, Updated: May 20, Dubai Financial Market and Nasdaq Dubai are bringing representatives of their 14 biggest companies to the biggest market in the European trading zone with the message — there is more to come.

Essa Kazim, the chairman of Borse Dubai, which owns both markets, will lead the delegation. The indices are among the best performing in the world, but we still want to encourage more institutional investors," he said. We have the best performance in the world recently and we want to highlight that. In the current economic climate for the UAE there is no reason it should not continue. The two-day event will take place in the City offices of Goldman Sachs, the investment bank that is acting as roadshow co-ordinator.

Dubai executives will make one-to-one presentations to potential investors in a process likened by one participant to "investment speed dating". There will also be general presentations on the state of the Dubai economy and investment climate. Some of the biggest names on the Dubai markets are taking part, such as Emaar Properties , DP World, Emirates NBD, Dubai Islamic Bank, Shuaa Capital and Mashreq. London investors will be keen to hear from Emaar of any new information regarding its intention to list shares of its malls business in Dubai and London, as the company recently announced.
