Support for manufacturers and exporters
From securing your manufacturing licence to accessing niche resources and operational services, find out how you can set up your manufacturing or export business and grow your international footprint from Dubai.
A preferred base for entrepreneurs and mega corporations, Dubai is making strides in the international business arena. With its strategic location, historic import-export routes, state-of-the-art ports, advanced technologies and future-focused infrastructure, it is a gateway to the world and emerging as a production and trading powerhouse.
Not only has Dubai’s industrial sector witnessed steady year-on-year growth, but it contributed 8.3% to the GDP in the first three quarters of 2023 alone. Thanks to specialised incentives that will enhance production, scale exports and favour innovation, the sector is well-poised to help the city double its GDP in a decade – a major goal of the D33 agenda.
There’s no time like the present to be a manufacturer or exporter working in or through Dubai. Join leading companies and renowned SMEs already established here to enjoy incredible benefits – including tax-free zones, regulatory ease, a friendly business approach and support within an exciting ecosystem featuring competitors from diverse markets.
