We are grateful for the infrastructure and business-friendly rules the area has to offer and anticipate growing our company substantially in the market. The expansion in the UAE will help the local economy while also catalyzing the global intra-city logistics ecosystem's overall growth. At Porter, we are also actively focused on creating job possibilities for our driving partners and providing our clients with tech-enabled, cost-effective solutions.”

Porter plans to invest $50 million over the next five years to support international growth and take advantage of the expanding global intra-city logistics ecosystem. According to Goel, a focused $6 million will be dedicated from this fund over the course of the next three years for investment in the UAE.
