Set up your Dubai company
The fact Dubai was chosen as the first city in the Middle East, Africa or South Asia to host a World Expo speaks volumes for how the global community sees the Emirate.
And it’s going to be a great time to set up your new company – taking advantage of a smooth and hassle-free process thanks to the company formation experts at Charterhouse Lombard.
So let’s break down 5 ways Expo2020 will boost business opportunities:
- Millions of visitors: Whether the visitors are in-person or online, this level of focus is going to boost opportunities in the region. The key is to get set up in time to benefit from so much attention.
- Making Dubai a world centre: Dubai is of course globally-renowned for tourism, hospitality and retail. But the Expo will demonstrate that Dubai pushes boundaries in all industries – from construction to tech, and from finance to sustainability.
- Infrastructure improvements: Set up in Dubai now, and once the Expo is over you’ll benefit from the huge infrastructure projects, with 80% of the site being re-used.
- Employment: When such a strong focus is put on a city, it attracts highly-skilled workers. That means the employment pool for your business has never been richer.
- Economic boost: The event was originally predicted to generate over USD 35bn, with foreign investments of more than USD 100bn. Whatever shape the event next year eventually takes, it’s sure to create a huge boost to the economy.
Clearly, a thriving economy is good news for business opportunities. So the question is whether you’re ready to get set up in time to benefit?
