Dubai Islamic Economy

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai
” The continued developments and changes in the global economy increase the need to constantly diversify the structure of our national economy. Our firm principle in the UAE is not to rely on one single economic resource or sector. The Islamic economy is not new to us, In fact we have accumulated considerable expertise in this field and our aim is the global arena.”

Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum
Chairman of Dubai Silicon Oasis
” We are committed to supporting ‘Dubai the Capital of Islamic Economy’ initiative through promoting economic activities and introducing products & services that are Shariah-compliant. Our support will be directed towards entrepreneurs that focus on the digital technology and Arabic Content creation. This will attract innovation-led investments that will drive the growth of the Islamic Economy entrepreneurship in the UAE. ”

Dr. Mohammed Alzarooni
Vice Chairman and CEO of the DSOA
” We continuously seek to introduce innovations that enable entrepreneurs to take their ideas to the next level. We will utilize the DTEC as an effective hub in nurturing start-ups that are focused on developing Islamic products and solutions. We are confident the centre will become a knowledge resource for education and research that form the fundamental pillars of an Islamic economy. ”
