Both 100% Dubai-government owned via ICD · Combined ~$65B annual revenue
DP World and Emirates are Dubai's twin global state champions — a ports-and-logistics operator and an airline, both wholly owned through the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD), both sitting structurally at the center of the Abraham Accords trade corridors Olam already tracks.

Why it matters for Israel
Neither company has a formal Israel relationship, but both sit inside the operational geography Olam's Abraham Accords Trade Corridors coverage already maps: Jebel Ali is the sea-lane endpoint for direct Israel-UAE trade, and Dubai's air-cargo capacity runs adjacent to the Ben Gurion corridor documented in How the Abraham Accords Reshaped Israel's Logistics Economy. Both are also potential infrastructure counterparties for the IMEC corridor as it matures.
