DMCC achieved its best year on record, attracting 2,485 companies to Dubai in 2021. The year also saw DMCC achieve its best June, August, September and November, reaching a total of over 20,000 member companies. The record-breaking performance follows on from the 2,025 companies that joined the business district in 2020.
Driven by strong international demand, the expansion of its commodities centres and the launch of the DMCC Crypto Centre, DMCC attracted companies from a broad range of sectors. Significant attraction was seen in key target markets, including China, US, UK and Russia, demonstrating Dubai’s continued commercial appeal, and the ease of setting up and doing business at DMCC.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: “With our sights set firmly on positioning Dubai as the preeminent place to do business in any sector, DMCC has seen substantial growth across all aspects of the business.” Feryal Ahmadi, Chief Operating Officer, DMCC, added: “Ending the fiscal year with record-breaking performance is a true moment of pride for everyone at DMCC – and also sets the bar high for the year ahead. We have a number of exciting projects in the pipeline for 2022, including DMCC’s landmark Dubai Diamond Conference in just 7 weeks, and the launch of the next edition of our flagship Future of Trade report later in the year.”
