This brand-new concept from Meydan Free Zone is designed to welcome foreign entrepreneurs and investors and optimize their business processes by providing an end-to-end business solution through a one-stop digital platform partnering with stakeholders.
Grow from Dubai has been conceived to be in line with the national goals and international commitments relating to advancing sustainable economic expansion, developing an entrepreneurial ecosystem, deploying innovative solutions, stimulating private sector investment, and responsibly promoting the country’s overall growth.
As per the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the UAE Economy is expected to grow significantly in comparison to the Arabian Gulf by 2023. The economy will expand by 4.2 percent in 2023, outperforming the economies of Saudi Arabia (3.7 percent), Bahrain (3 percent), Oman (4.1 percent), Kuwait (2.6 percent), and Qatar (2.4 percent) to become the fastest-growing in the Arabian Gulf.
