Dubai continues to solidify its position as a global business hub as more US companies establish their regional operations in the emirate’s integrated economic zones. A recent update from Dr. Juma Al Matrooshi, Assistant Executive Chairman of Investments and Partnerships at the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), highlights a growing influx of American firms across key sectors.
Currently, over 112 US companies operate within DIEZ, representing about 3.4% of its total registered businesses. These firms span industries including aviation, logistics, specialised consulting, technology, and future-focused sectors. Global giants such as Boeing, FedEx, Abbott, DHL, and Coca-Cola have chosen DIEZ’s economic zones — Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity — as their regional base.
Dr. Al Matrooshi stressed that the authority continues to enhance services for businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs. By streamlining operations and offering a diverse range of economic opportunities, DIEZ ensures ease of doing business while supporting Dubai’s competitiveness on a global scale. Integration among the free zones is a strategic priority, aiming to create a cohesive ecosystem that benefits all sectors.
Economic and free zones remain a cornerstone of Dubai’s non-oil economy, contributing nearly 67% of the emirate’s total foreign direct investment — equivalent to AED 298 billion in 2023, according to Dubai Data and Statistics estimates. This underscores the crucial role of free zones in fostering sustainable growth, innovation, and adoption of advanced technologies.
Dr. Al Matrooshi highlighted that DIEZ regularly introduces initiatives and programs designed to provide investment incentives, attract high-value partnerships, and strengthen the overall business environment. US companies, he noted, remain integral to the free zones’ ecosystem, reflecting Dubai’s ability to draw global investment even amid global economic volatility.
