Dubai is emerging as a global hub for technology and innovation, driven by government-backed initiatives and a thriving ecosystem of Free Zones.

Their economic agenda aims to make it the fastest and most connected city worldwide, with emphasis on AI, fintech, blockchain, and other industries.

Free Zones such as Internet City and Silicon Oasis offer foreign firms 100% ownership, minimal bureaucracy, and world-class infrastructure.

Recent regulatory changes now allow these businesses to operate beyond Free Zones under certain conditions, giving firms greater flexibility and market access.

Initiatives like the Dubai Future Foundation, the Centre for AI, and Sandbox Dubai reinforce the city's commitment to technological advancement.

With its collaborative tech clusters and growing venture capital support, Dubai is positioning itself as the Middle East's leading destination for innovation.
