Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 24, 2014 – Environmental services leader Veolia has today demonstrated its commitment to supporting the creation of jobs and knowledge transfer in the United Arab Emirates by opening its new regional headquarters in Dubai.
Speaking at the inauguration of Veolia’s new Dubai headquarters in Business Village, Patrice Fonlladosa, President and CEO of Veolia Middle East and Africa, said: “With the opening of our new office in Dubai, Veolia is clearly strengthening its long term commitment to the UAE. We are now better positioned to develop business ventures, strategic initiatives, local partnerships and, most importantly, local talent.”
“From personal experience I have seen the benefits world class companies can bring to countries, through investment, training of Emirati nationals and sharing of best practices in fields such as research and education,” Fonlladosa added.

Xavier Joseph, Veolia Chief Executive Officer for Gulf Countries, said: “We look forward to supporting Dubai’s efforts to create a more knowledge based economy, especially ahead of Dubai Expo 2020.”
