'VICENZAORO DUBAI is pleased to welcome on board our new and returning partners for the second edition of the show.  Following the successful debut of VICENZAORO DUBAI in April 2015, we have set even more ambitious targets for 2016. We are confident that our partnerships with L’Azurde, Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group, Dubai Gold Souk, the DMCC, as well as  the Dubai Jewellery Community will provide a strong platform for the community to forge key collaborations. We are looking forward to continuing to build on the momentum we have seen so far and further cement Dubai’s reputation as a leading global trading hub for gold, jewellery, gemstones and diamonds.”

Mr Facco continued: 'With Dubai’s growing status as one of the world’s foremost luxury destinations driven by strong domestic and regional consumption coupled with increasing international visitor spend,  VICENZAORO DUBAI will further highlight and amplify the region’s strategic importance on the global luxury industry stage. We hope to establish VICENZAORO DUBAI as one of the world’s top five events for the international jewellery and goldsmith sectors by 2020'.
