About Dubai

It’s global location, alongside business-friendly policies and future forward innovations and plans for the future, have shaped Dubai into a leading global powerhouse.

Dubai is recognised amongst the top 10 financial centres in the Global Financial Centres Index. Retail, wholesale, transport and storage, finance and insurance, manufacturing and real estate all contribute substantial percentages of Dubai’s GDP. With increases in trades and investments, it is a fast-growing city with an achievable vision of embracing a future dominated by technological and research-based industries.

The city is a magnet for investors and does extremely well in attracting foreign direct investments as well as investment for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics. Most of this investment originates from Europe and the US. The e-commerce market also has huge growth potential, and a series of reforms and government measures meant the UAE’s GDP recently passed the $500 billion mark.

The Smart Dubai initiative aims to make Dubai the happiest city on earth by introducing strategic initiatives that contribute to Dubai’s governance, economy, quality of living, environment, people, and mobility. Since its inception, the Smart Dubai Office has launched over 130 initiatives in partnership with the government as well as private sector organisations.

The life sciences industry is constantly expanding and seeing breakthroughs and has always been dedicated to the improvement and safety of human, animal, and plant life. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many industries were halted, or driven to a standstill. Life sciences was the industry at the forefront of the reaction and management of the virus and came together to research, study and find a vaccination. This has contributed to an awareness and demand for investments in the industry as the effects of the pandemic appear to become less impactful and more manageable.

Consequently, discoveries and investments into the industry are widely appreciated now and trends and innovations are developing. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has a lot of potential within the industry and is being leveraged at all stages of research and development. Wearable technology and blockchain has allowed doctors to access new levels of patient visibility in real time, providing a better overall image of a patient’s health.
