Over 112 US companies now operate in Dubai’s DIEZ Zones

The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has confirmed that more than 112 American companies are now operating across its three key zones — Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity — making up 3.4% of total registered firms.

Speaking at the Dubai Business Forum – USA, Dr. Juma Al Matrooshi, Assistant Executive Chairman at DIEZ, noted that top US brands such as Boeing, FedEx, Coca-Cola, DHL, and Abbott are leveraging Dubai as a strategic base for their regional operations. These firms span sectors like aviation, logistics, technology, and consulting.

Al Matrooshi underscored that the integration of DIEZ’s zones is central to boosting Dubai’s non-oil economy, supporting innovation, and strengthening the business ecosystem.

“We continue to enhance services, launch new incentives, and build high-value partnerships to attract global investors — especially from the US,” he said.

According to official data, DIEZ’s zones contributed around AED 298 billion to Dubai’s foreign direct investment in 2023, representing 67% of the total — a strong indicator of their role in driving sustainable growth and international competitiveness.
