Dubai: your preferred global arena for business.
Dubai: your preferred global arena for business.
Dubai is a hyper-connected business gateway offering unrivalled access to fast-growing markets across the world. Its dynamic business ecosystem is driven by world-class infrastructure, supportive policies and strong governance. This is why Fortune 500 firms, FTSE100 giants and innovative start-ups have chosen Dubai as a launchpad for expansion and growth.
Setting up a corporate office or regional or global headquarters in Dubai is easy and cost-effective. Numerous options are available when it comes to licences, visas and workspaces. Specific programmes and assets are also in place to help start-ups grow and existing firms flourish.
Companies can also benefit from a highly qualified workforce comprising people from 200+ nationalities. Dubai also consistently ranks as one of the safest and best cities for expats to live and work. All these factors combine to make this city an ideal choice for companies of all sizes to set up and scale operations.
Strategic efforts are underway to position Dubai among the world’s top five centres for business, logistics and finance by 2033. The D33 agenda has outlined 100 transformational projects to double Dubai’s economy and position it among the world’s top three cities by economic value.
Programmes like Operation 300bn and the Dubai Industrial Strategy spearhead growth for manufacturing and industrial firms. Meanwhile, Dubai International Financial Centre, one of the world’s top financial hubs, offers a strong ecosystem for private equity and venture capital.
SMEs and corporates can enjoy competitive advantages via 20+ business-first free zones – including Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and Dubai World Central (DWC). These include 100% foreign ownership, lower tax policies, full reparations of profits, cost-effective set-up, renewal arrangements and simplified foreign recruitment processes.
Dubai’s strategic location empowers companies with direct access to emerging markets, thanks to a superior logistics and supply chain network. The World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index scores Dubai 4.1 out of 5, highlighting its exceptional trade and transport infrastructure.
Jebel Ali Port, among the largest worldwide, is seamlessly connected to Al Maktoum Airport via the custom-bonded Dubai Logistics Corridor. Dubai Ports World (DP World) – ranked third in global container terminal operations – facilitates the flow of worldwide commerce to 69 countries. Emirates and FlyDubai, the city’s two homegrown airlines, enable connections to more than 250 global destinations.
