This strategy successfully attracts talent and capital from around the world and is based on the country’s ideals of coexistence, openness, and equal opportunity. The United Arab Emirates is a top global destination for investors and high-net-worth individuals, according to official data. Pioneering economic and legal reforms that have improved the business environment and guaranteed high levels of stability and confidence are responsible for this achievement.
The number of firms operating in the UAE has increased by 235% over the last five years, from over 400,000 in 2020 to over 1.3 million by the end of H1 2025, thanks to the Federal Decree Law, which permits 100% foreign ownership of commercial companies.
In line with the UAE’s transition to a knowledge, innovation, and advanced technology-based economy, updating more than 80% of economic legislation over the past three years has also contributed to significant improvements in company development.
By the end of September 2025, 402,311 local and foreign trademarks had been registered, further demonstrating the world’s confidence in the investment landscape. In statements to WAM, senior authorities and investors affirmed that the country’s tolerance-based system plays a significant role in its economic performance, increasing its attractiveness to international businesses and creative people.
