UAE holds a distinct position in the world for its strategic location, which gives it a competitive advantage and serves as the biggest trading center in the Middle East. UAE acts as a regional headquarters for various multinationals owing to the favourable tax systems, investment-friendly laws and incentives, state-of-the-art infrastructure, stable government, and availability of international talent.
Newer initiatives such as Long-term Visas, 100% Ownership in Mainland, and the World Expo 2020 showcases the government’s intent to invest in global businesses and state-of-the-art technologies. These developments attract many multinational companies to the region to expand their businesses and will help them capitalize on the plethora of opportunities available in the region.
UAE is home to 45 Free Zones which are dedicated to various industries and sectors including two of the largest Financial Free Zones in the region – Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). These Financial Free Zones host the Top International Banks and Financial Institutions, and is a burgeoning hub for Fintech operations globally.
