The Chamber successfully attracted 143 companies to Dubai during H1 2025, representing a 138% increase compared to the 60 companies attracted in H1 2024. These included 31 multinational companies (MNCs), marking a 138% increase over the 13 attracted in H1 2024.

Meanwhile, 112 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were attracted during H1 2025, representing YoY growth of 138% compared to the 47 attracted during the same period last year.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai International Chamber, stated, “We are making strong and steady progress in consolidating Dubai's position as the global destination of choice for foreign direct investment and a launchpad for companies targeting international growth. This momentum is fuelled by Dubai's unique competitive advantages, which include world-class infrastructure, a pro-business regulatory environment, and a strategic location connecting global markets.”

He added, “Dubai International Chamber's global network of representative offices plays a major role in attracting entrepreneurs, investors, and multinational companies. Our offices contribute to strengthening trade and investment ties with priority markets while fostering business partnerships between Dubai-based companies and their counterparts across the globe.”
