UAE Foreign Ownership

Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), being wholly-owned by the Government of Dubai, offers a veritable array of incentives, benefits and legislations to companies established within the free zone. Not only does DSO offer some of the finest features, amenities, and infrastructure to its clients but also offers them the benefit of UAE foreign ownership – i.e. 100% possession of assets within the free zone. Unlike other regions of Dubai, where foreigners are required to have UAE nationals as partners or sponsors to conduct business activities, companies operating within DSO enjoy complete UAE foreign ownership, along with special exemptions on personal/corporate taxes and customs duties.

The DSO Startups and Medium-size business (SME) program is second to none in UAE, and offers small and medium size business with a platform to propel themselves to their maximum potential. DSO UAE foreign ownership startup programs are specially geared to help young entrepreneurs and are designed to provide them with special support to help them access the MENA market with ease.
