Dubai’s Appeal to Entrepreneurs
Established, world-renowned businesses have been bringing their business to Dubai for years, but there’s another class of individuals who have been increasingly interested in kickstarting their endeavours in Dubai—entrepreneurs.
Considering that Dubai is an expensive, hotly contested market, the appeal that it carries among entrepreneurs and small businesses alike can seem odd at first glance. However, Dubai offers an intriguing array of advantages to savvy and ambitious entrepreneurs. If you’re thinking of opening a local business but have been hesitating for one reason or another, then read on, because we’ll be exploring why, precisely, it’s time for you to take the plunge.
FOUR REASONS WHY DUBAI APPEALS TO ENTREPRENEURS
1: A WEALTHY, DIVERSE BASE OF CONSUMERS
Entrepreneurs have always needed to conduct diligent market research in order to ensure that their chosen market can adequately support their business aspirations and endeavours. While this is still key on a global scale, a major draw of Dubai to entrepreneurs is that there is a huge base of wealthy consumers that are ready to buy into innovative, high-quality products and services. This means that, regardless of your industry or target demographics, Dubai poses tremendous opportunity for profit and growth.
2: WELL-ROUNDED SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES
It’s critical that businesses new to the region have a plan in place to scale accordingly. Often, this means partnering with experienced local businesses who can offer key supplementary skills. Given that many businesses in the region also act as branches for global organisations, partnerships with the right firm can even help you expand your businesses to new regions and markets without incurring substantive risk.
3: EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
A premier hub for businesses across industries, Dubai is always looking to bolster their economy with high-performing businesses and innovative technologies. That means that the government has spent a lot of time and resources fostering the development of a pro-business space that appeals to thought leaders, industry veterans and aspiring business professionals alike. With competitive spirits that foster creativity and the quick development of disruptive new services and tech, Dubai is a hotbed of innovation that gives entrepreneurs access to all of the specialist-level knowledge and skills that they need to realise their vision.
4: A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CULTURE
Considering Dubai’s business-friendly attitude, it should come as no surprise that many companies have taken advantage of the opportunities presented in the development of their own businesses. In fact, Dubai has seen many successful startups grow into impactful SMEs, which means not only that there is there a wealth of knowledge available into how to go about doing just that but also that there is a great deal of interest when it comes to investing in promising new ventures.
Dubai may seem, at first glance, that it’s a crowded marketplace filled to the brim with high-end businesses looking to consume a disproportionate amount of the pie, but underneath the surface there’s a tremendous diversity in the number of startups looking to break through. This article has proven that there’s good reason for this! With a closer look and understanding into why Dubai appeals to ambitious entrepreneurs, you can start planning your breakthrough into the market. We look forward to helping you along.
