Dubai International Chamber announced record growth in the first half of 2025, attracting 143 companies to the emirate and reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global investment hub.
The figure marks a 138% increase compared to the same period last year, with both multinational corporations and small and medium enterprises driving the surge.
The breakdown shows 31 multinational companies setting up in Dubai, more than double the number in H1 2024, while 112 SMEs established operations, also up 138% year-on-year. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai International Chamber, credited the results to Dubai’s world-class infrastructure, pro-business regulations, and strategic location connecting global markets.
The chamber expanded its international reach by opening five new representative offices in Dhaka, Cape Town, Bengaluru, Bangkok, and Toronto as part of the Dubai Global initiative, which aims to establish 50 offices worldwide by 2030. These offices play a central role in attracting investment, fostering business partnerships, and supporting the global expansion of Dubai-based companies into 30 priority markets.
In the first six months of 2025, the chamber’s offices organized 247 business roundtables to promote Dubai as a gateway to international growth and strengthen trade ties. The expanding network is designed to create two-way investment flows, boost bilateral trade, and highlight Dubai’s competitive advantages to global businesses.
