Salaam Gateway debuts during GIES 2015

During the Global Islamic Economy Summit 2015 held last week in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum presented the Salaam Gateway, a platform designed for industry-related professionals seeking news, information and data that are useful to strengthen their businesses.

A result of a partnership between the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre (DIEDC) and Thomson Reuters, the Salaam Gateway also articulates Dubai's strategy for Islamic economic development. It is available in English and Arabic and provides information from different areas of the Islamic economy. Users can also find information regarding Islamic companies.

"It is true that the economic systems evolve with trial and error, but it also needs a knowledge-based scientific approach that drives the development of its sectors, ensures clear processes and goals, and establishes standards that ensure the best results," Maktoum said. "After a few years, we hope to see the field of Islamic economy taking its rightful place among other fields. The electronic platform for the global Islamic economy is the first step towards achieving this goal."
