Dubai SME free zone support

Dubai SME free zone support refers to government initiatives that help small and medium-sized enterprises establish themselves in Dubai’s numerous free zones. Through agencies like Dubai SME (an initiative of Dubai Economy and Tourism), startups receive funding, mentorship, and subsidized licensing packages.

Free zones such as DMCC, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity provide tailored solutions for SMEs, including low-cost office spaces, flexible visa quotas, and access to accelerators. These benefits make Dubai one of the most SME-friendly ecosystems in the region.

By lowering barriers to entry, Dubai ensures that small businesses can thrive alongside multinationals, contributing to innovation, job creation, and diversification of the economy.
