Overview
The UAE is a hub for tourists and a gateway to the GCC and the Far East. It offers one of the best infrastructures for new businesses in the Middle East and many local and international companies thrive. Examples of such are Spinney’s, Carrefour, Marriott Hotels, Debenhams, McDonalds and banks such as Citibank, HSBC, Mashreq and Standard Chartered to name but a few. The Government has made the effort to promote the UAE as business hub and as a result, has also won EXPO 2020. All this makes the UAE good for business and for future growth with adequate support from investors, government and business across the globe.
