Managing Partner, Commercial- & Tax Consultant

The UAE has secured its position as the global leader in entrepreneurship for the fourth consecutive year, surpassing major economies such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Report 2024/25, the Emirates continues to offer a highly supportive environment for business development and growth.

The Foundation of UAE's Entrepreneurial Success

The GEM Report’s National Entrepreneurship Context Index assessed 56 economies across 13 key indicators, with the UAE achieving first place in 11 categories. This comprehensive evaluation confirms the Emirates’ exceptional standing as the premier destination for small and medium-sized enterprises globally.

The UAE has established a sophisticated entrepreneurial finance ecosystem that offers diverse funding pathways for businesses at various stages of development. Financial institutions, venture capital firms, and government-backed investment initiatives collectively create an environment where capital is accessible for qualified enterprises with growth potential.

Commercial and professional infrastructure represents another area of excellence in the Emirates. The country has developed world-class telecommunications networks, transportation systems, and business service providers that form a robust foundation for corporate operations. This infrastructure enables businesses to operate efficiently while connecting seamlessly with global markets.

Practical Advantages for Established and New Businesses

For companies currently operating in the UAE, the continued enhancement of the business environment presents significant opportunities for growth and expansion. The evolving ecosystem attracts additional service providers, potential business partners, and investment capital that existing companies can leverage for business development and growth.

Organizations considering UAE market entry will find a business landscape specifically designed to welcome and support entrepreneurial ventures. The established frameworks for company formation, talent acquisition, and operational compliance provide a clear pathway for international businesses seeking to establish a Middle Eastern presence.

Long-Term Vision for Sustainable Business Growth

The UAE’s consistent performance in global entrepreneurship rankings reflects its comprehensive approach to economic diversification and sustainability. Rather than pursuing short-term economic gains, the country has developed a comprehensive vision for creating an environment where businesses can establish operations, grow sustainably, and contribute to the broader economic ecosystem.
