TECOM Investments

We are working to build the knowledge economy in Dubai by providing and running free trade zones that support the development of knowledge-based industries.

Key entity facts:

Our first brand, Dubai Internet City, was launched in October 2000
We offer access to a 24-hour visa service and a fast-track immigration process
Our Free Zones create clustered environments for industries
DIC is now home to global giants like Microsoft, Cisco Systems, IBM, HP, and Sun Microsystems

Foremost among our business benefits is a clustered environment where companies in the same industry share the same work campus. This encourages synergies between related businesses, and facilitates:

Research & Development

Knowledge sharing

Sharing best practices

Better economies of scale

Improving information flow and operations

Businesses have an array of options, from long-term leases to renting serviced desks for start-ups.

A one stop shop

We offer infrastructure and support services through our sister companies and subsidiaries. These include telecommunications (plus managed and secure hosting by eHosting DataFort) and hospitality services. We also organise streamlined government approvals and services including trade licenses, visas, work permits and film location approvals.

Free Zone benefits include 100% ownership, no corporate and personal income taxes and customs duties, and no restrictions on repatriation of capital and dividends in any currency. Companies can also rely on stringent cyber regulations and protection of intellectual property.
