An established gateway to the wider Middle East, Africa and South Asia, Dubai is a key location on the Africa-China trade development corridor, known as the ‘new silk road’.

The emirate takes pride building its knowledge ecosystem to support businesses of tomorrow. Dubai also provides a dynamic business events setting, made up of global connectivity, modern hotels and venues, and great hospitality.

As a thriving global marketplace, Dubai attracts and fosters business growth. Its economy is now among the most diversified in the world, with oil accounting for less than 1% of GDP. Dubai also has a very favourable taxation regime with a commitment to transparency. The UAE has one of the lowest tax rates across its competitor countries with ‘nil’ rate of corporate tax and 5% VAT.

The emirate’s vision is to take the economy to embrace a future dominated by technological and research-based industries. The UAE continues to attract the highest levels of FDI in the world.

Dubai is a magnet for global talent. Its pro-business environment and exceptional standard of living are just some of the reasons why Dubai has attracted some of the world’s greatest talent – not just as a place to work but as a destination to bring their families.
