Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer everything a startup needs to grow &#8211; access to capital, innovation infrastructure, talent, and a quality of life that\u2019s hard to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Mirakhmedov: \u201cThe UAE allows us communicate with more prospective partners as a global technology group focused on fast growing sectors of the digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStartups here have easy access to venture capital and angel investors. Accelerators, co-working spaces, and research centres help early-stage companies get off the ground, creating a fast-moving and supportive startup scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSectors like fintech, AI, mobility, and e-commerce have grown rapidly, thanks to policy reforms, long-term visas, and government-backed funds aimed at helping young companies scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirakhmedov points to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the ideal setup for growth, with free zones built for tech firms, simple licensing, and no income tax all making it easier to launch and expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s also real respect here for people who succeed,\u201d he says. \u201cEntrepreneurs feel welcome, and that\u2019s backed by a professional business culture and a strong sense of personal safety. As more global startups look for stable places to grow, the UAE stands out &#8211; not just for its tools and support, but for creating the right conditions to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech investor and entrepreneur Abdumalik Mirakhmedov hails sustained government drive to create dynamic, pro-business landscape for founders The UAE is reinforcing its position as one of the world\u2019s most attractive and secure destinations for startups, as fresh data and investor sentiment point to rising momentum across the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem.
