Dubai has established a strategic partnership between its SME development entity and the land authority to expand the role of small and medium-sized enterprises within the real estate sector.
The initiative aims to improve market accessibility for entrepreneurs while supporting the emirate’s broader economic diversification agenda.
The agreement sets a clear growth trajectory, with a target to scale the SME base to 27,000 enterprises by 2033.
Authorities also intend to support the creation of around 8,000 new businesses as part of this long-term vision, reinforcing Dubai’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
At its core, the collaboration seeks to integrate SMEs into the real estate value chain, offering opportunities across development, property services, and associated industries.
This is expected to unlock new revenue streams while enhancing operational efficiency across the sector.
The initiative aligns with national priorities focused on empowering local enterprises, increasing private sector participation, and driving sustainable economic growth.
It also underscores Dubai’s continued efforts to position SMEs as key contributors to high-impact sectors such as real estate.
