Dubai is positioning itself as the Middle East’s leading center for female entrepreneurship. Nearly half of its startups are led or co-founded by women, creating a progressive business environment that attracts international companies.
What Makes Dubai Different?
Let’s look at the numbers: nearly half of UAE startups have women at the helm or in co-founding roles, particularly in tech and innovation. This is a clear signal that Dubai means business when it comes to diversity in leadership. For international companies planning their Middle East expansion, this creates an environment that feels more familiar and aligned with global business practices.
Key Business Advantages
- Technology and Manufacturing Growth: Women leaders are driving innovation in these sectors, creating opportunities for strategic partnerships.
- Leadership Development: 87% of women executives actively mentor and promote women into management positions, expanding the talent pipeline.
- Corporate Governance: Women hold 17% of board positions, with continued growth indicating a progressive corporate culture.
Real Impact: Leadership in Action
At TME Services, we’re proud to be part of Dubai’s transformation into a center for women leaders. We don’t just advise clients about Dubai’s progressive business environment—we live it.
Our team member, Ms. Renji Reghunadh, exemplifies this spirit, recently receiving the Excellence in Women’s Empowerment Through Education award at the Middle East Summit of Excellence 2024.
Like many women leaders in the UAE who are actively promoting inclusive workplaces, Renji’s work through her foundation helps create opportunities for the next generation of business leaders.
This aligns perfectly with the UAE’s vision, as 87% of women leaders are actively working to increase the number of women in management roles.
When our international clients ask about Dubai’s business culture, we can share firsthand experiences of how women are reshaping the business landscape here.
