Dubai International Chamber, one of the three entities operating under Dubai Chambers, has outlined its major accomplishments for the first half of 2025.
In H1 2025, the Chamber attracted 143 new companies to Dubai, reflecting a 138% rise from the 60 companies recorded during the same period in 2024. This included 31 multinational corporations (MNCs), also up 138% from the 13 that set up in H1 2024.
The Chamber also drew 112 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in H1 2025, compared to 47 in the same period last year, once again reflecting a 138% year-on-year increase.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai International Chamber, said, “We are making steady progress in consolidating Dubai’s standing as the preferred global destination for foreign direct investment and as a launchpad for companies with international ambitions. This success is underpinned by Dubai’s unmatched advantages, including advanced infrastructure, an investor-friendly regulatory framework, and its strategic location linking global markets.”
He further noted, “The Chamber’s global network of representative offices plays a vital role in attracting entrepreneurs, investors, and multinational firms. These offices strengthen trade and investment ties with priority markets while creating opportunities for collaboration between Dubai-based companies and their global counterparts.”
In the first six months of 2025, Dubai International Chamber continued driving forward the Dubai Global initiative, which aims to establish 50 overseas representative offices by 2030. Its expanding international presence remains instrumental in enhancing Dubai’s position as a global business hub, drawing foreign investment, and enabling Dubai companies to expand into 30 priority international markets.
