In a reflection of Dubai’s growing investment status and its reputation as a prime global hub for business and commerce, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce has reported the addition of 2,709 new companies to its membership in March of this year.
When examining the sector distribution of these new members, the real estate and leasing sectors accounted for 41.2% of the new activity, followed by trade and services at 29.5%. The construction sector ranked third with a share of 15%, while social and personal services came in fourth with 9.3%.
This investment momentum maintained by Dubai is a result of the emirate’s cumulative efforts over the decades to position itself as the premier destination for investment and business. Despite regional and global challenges, the emirate has successfully attracted more companies selecting Dubai as the new base for their operations.
Mohammed Ali Rashed Lootah, Director General of the Dubai Chambers, stated, “Dubai’s economic model is built on comprehensive foundations that combine high flexibility with proactive readiness, effective partnerships with the private sector, and strong connections with international markets. This enhances the emirate’s ability to adapt to global changes and continues to offer fresh and quality opportunities across all business sectors.”
He added, “The influx of new companies into the Dubai Chamber’s membership in March is a clear indicator that Dubai’s investment momentum remains strong. It also highlights the confidence that the emirate enjoys among the global business community, thanks to its dynamic investment environment, advanced infrastructure, and sophisticated regulatory framework. These elements, alongside economic policies that align with market dynamics, meet the growing demands throughout various growth stages.”
He continued, “We are committed to channeling every effort to support business establishment and growth in Dubai, enhancing the efficiency of companies operating within the emirate to keep pace with rapid changes and to meet sustainability requirements for growth, thus reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global leader in trade and investment.”
To ensure the enhancement of service quality and efficiency for the business community, the Dubai Chamber has recently introduced a digital platform named “DC Connect.” This innovative platform provides a vital resource that enhances member experiences and simplifies access to chamber services through a unified interactive interface backed by smart data solutions.
The platform offers a range of integrated digital services, including Dubai Chamber membership, information services, temporary goods entry services, mediation, certification, certificates of origin, and specialized services for business groups and councils.
