Ease of doing business
Dubai is a global economic powerhouse, ranking first in the region and 14th globally on the Innovation Cities Index. It offers an endless array of opportunities for businesses across industries and sectors to expand and grow. Everything about the city’s business ecosystem is specifically designed to not just nurture, but actively encourage entrepreneurship and innovation. A vast network of free zones, unrivalled access to venture capital and private equity funding, and an attractive visa and tax regime combine to enable strong, sustainable economic growth for businesses of all sizes.
Unlocking business success with economic zones
Dubai’s future-forward strategy empowers its business districts to become leading global engines for innovation and investment. With diversification at the heart of its ongoing vision, Dubai offers a wide range of options for incorporating a business.
As an ever-more desirable location to live and work, Dubai has developed both free zone and mainland solutions. Each is designed to suit specific industries, budgets and day-to-day activities, with onshore, offshore and dual licence options available. These factors render Dubai an attractive choice for your business presence while providing a strategic launchpad for regional and international growth.
Enabling environment
The government’s business-forward outlook and low-risk environment make Dubai an excellent place to invest or start a business. Dubai offers unique business opportunities due to its favourable tax regime, legal and regulatory framework, legislative autonomy and competitive market fundamentals.
Dubai’s business districts have been designed to provide an efficient and supportive platform, offering 100% foreign ownership, tax free policies, full repatriation of profits, low-cost set-up and renewal structures. They are built around dedicated sectors for segmented industries and their specific requirements – including media and design, biotech and healthcare or export and re-export.
