A Thriving Ecosystem: Concrete Opportunities for Entrepreneurs Worldwide
Dubai continues to confirm its position as a global hub for entrepreneurship and innovation. In 2025, the numbers speak for themselves: over 1,034 active startups in the city, representing nearly 87% of all startups in the United Arab Emirates. This record reflects a stimulating economic environment, supported by a favorable regulatory framework, world-class infrastructure, and policies welcoming foreign investors and talent.
🚀 Impressive Growth in the Digital Sector
In Q1 2025, the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy supported 127 new digital startups, marking a 135% increase compared to 2024. This surge is driven by consistent government support, targeted funding programs, and a clear ambition to make Dubai a leading tech hub in the Middle East.
💰 Massive Fundraising and Scale-Up Support
Dubai is also home to over 306 scale-ups, representing 40% of all scale-ups in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). These companies have collectively raised $11.7 billion over the past decade. This impressive figure reflects the strength of the financial ecosystem, particularly through platforms like the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), which saw a 32% increase in new businesses in the first half of 2025.
🏆 The World’s Most Favorable Entrepreneurial Environment
According to the 2024–2025 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) report, the UAE ranks #1 globally in terms of entrepreneurial environment. Key indicators include:
- 67% of adults feel capable of starting their own business
- 70% perceive clear opportunities in their local environment
- 75% plan to grow their business to more than 6 employees in the next 5 years
- 80% plan to integrate digital technologies from the launch phase
These figures reflect a mindset focused on action, innovation, and success.
