hosting world-class business events
Dubai has a track record of successfully hosting world-class business events, thanks in part to the spirit of cooperation which exists between the government, industry and local communities. The ‘world’s next-door neighbour’, at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Dubai offers easy access to many of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies. One-third of the global population is within four hours flying-time and two-thirds are within eight hours.
The competitive advantages of choosing Dubai are numerous: a leading international centre for business, commerce, industry and tourism, with a dynamic workforce and a government which continues to invest in strategic infrastructure and transportation projects to ensure a prosperous economic future. The Emirate prides itself on its business-friendly policies. Always a trading society, it has brought its ‘open doors’ spirit into the modern world, attracting foreign business and investment through free-trade zones, zero income tax and VAT, and a favourable corporate taxation policy.
