Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Sees Influx of New Businesses

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) witnessed a surge in new companies in 2023, solidifying its position as a leading business hub. With a record-breaking year nearly achieved, DMCC welcomed a staggering 2,692 new businesses, bringing the total number of companies in its district to over 24,000.

This significant growth is attributed to a combination of factors. The launch of new industry-specific ecosystems catered to diverse business needs, creating a more attractive environment for companies seeking to establish themselves in Dubai. Additionally, DMCC expanded its service offerings, providing a wider range of support to its members. This enhanced support system likely played a role in attracting new businesses and retaining existing ones.

Furthermore, the physical expansion of Uptown Dubai, a flagship development within the DMCC district, contributed to the positive performance. The completion of Uptown Tower, a high-rise commercial complex, offered additional office space and amenities, catering to the growing demand from businesses.

"With the opening of Uptown Tower and the wider development of Uptown Dubai, our business district is stronger now than it has ever been," said Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC. Sulayem emphasized the role of these developments in positioning DMCC for future growth, particularly in attracting new waves of investment to Dubai.

Feryal Ahmadi, Chief Operating Officer of DMCC, echoed Sulayem's sentiments. Ahmadi highlighted the focus on strengthening DMCC's core offerings throughout 2023. This included developing new industry ecosystems, refining the services provided to members, and forging strategic partnerships around the world. These efforts solidified DMCC's standing as a premier business destination.

The influx of new companies is a positive indicator for Dubai's overall economic landscape. DMCC's success in attracting businesses from various sectors showcases Dubai's growing appeal as a global trade and commerce hub. As DMCC continues to develop its infrastructure and offerings, it is poised to play an even greater role in Dubai's future economic prosperity.
