15 GCC Experience and market entry advice Mr Aladin Niazmand Director TAHPI

16 TAHPI Pty Limited Specialist Health Planners TAHPI in a nutshell Covers Health Planning and Healthcare Design from A to Z Is a recognized brand in the field Knows the Healthcare industry well Has industry-standard rapid design methodology Partners with Health Authorities World-wide Has supporting HFBS software technology Offices in Australia, UAE, KSA, Malaysia, India, Hong Kong Associate offices in Bahrain, Kuwait, Algeria, Lebanon, Singapore, China

17 Presence in the UAE In Dubai since 2007 Registered in Dubai Healthcare City freezone (DHCC) Also registered in Abu Dhabi (requires 10 years background) UAE is the central hub of commerce in GCC Countries Work from the Dubai base in all Emirates of the UAE and in several GCC Countries such as: Bahrain Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Qatar Kuwait Oman

18 Work in the Health Sector in the UAE Most important public organisations: DHA and HAAD Most important events of the year: Arab Health (early January) Hospital Build Expo and Conference ( early June) Dubai has 26+ hospitals and 1200 medical facilities Abu Dhabi has 50+ hospitals and 700 medical facilities The population will double in 10 years and mandatory insurance will be firmly established. The demand will spike in 2-3 years and continue to grow. TAHPI has patiently and persistently worked with both DHA and HAAD to do the capacity planning for Dubai and Abu Dhabi from 2013 to 2035.

19 Tips for those new to export Travel to the target Country for reconnaissance, meet colleagues, research, do your homework Then take risks. There will be no reward for the risk-averse Have a budget for the learning and establishment process and be prepared to loose it all Have a single entity, verifiable, searchable with a background and international reputation. Don t complicate the identity with JV s, associations, new names etc Have a local office with someone permanently present. They don t like fly-in-fly-out people. They cannot be trusted. Leave behind any arrogance but keep your pride and confidence in your abilities. Australia is very popular. Capitalise on it and do not put down your colleagues, even your competitors from Australia.

20 More tips Freezone does not require local partner in business. But depending on the nature of the work, it can be restrictive. Your company will still pay Tax back in Australia but staff moving semi-permanently to the UAE do not pay tax Do not rely on Government hand-outs, but ask for general assistance in opening doors. State Government are also very helpful (especially NSW, and QLD) Be prepared to tender for everything and be extremely competitive Be prepared to lodge a tender bond and later if you win, a performance bond. Must be from a local Bank. Tell everyone you are there forever, no matter what happens
