“We are also proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our companies, such as Tradeling Holding, which has quadrupled its order volume since 2023, and Oraseya Capital, which was named the most active investor in the UAE for 2024. We are keen to continue providing more innovative solutions to strengthen Dubai’s economy and raise the level of services provided across all sectors,” Al Zarooni added.

In 2024, DIEZ successfully achieved its strategic initiatives, marking a series of significant milestones that have contributed to reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global investment hub, in line with the objectives of D33.
Tradeling Holding, the online B2B marketplace and a subsidiary of DIEZ, made a notable acquisition of the distribution business of Axiom Telecom in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The company also experienced remarkable growth, increasing its order volume fourfold since 2023. Tradeling now serves over 50,000 clients and has shipped approximately 3.5 million units in 2024.
Meanwhile, Oraseya Capital, DIEZ’s investment arm specialising in funding startups from the pre-seed to Series B investment stage, has established itself as a leading force in the investment sector. According to a report by the venture capital data platform MAGNiTT, Oraseya ranked first as the most active investor by number of deals in the UAE for 2024, and the second most active investor by Series-A deals across the MENA region. The company’s impressive achievements also include 24 high-quality investments, with 16 of these made through its Sandbox programme, which is dedicated to funding and supporting early-stage technology startups, while eight were direct investments in high-potential companies.

Dubai’s real estate and technology sectors received a significant boost as the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) joined forces to accelerate the growth of the property technology (Proptech) sector. The partnership, formalised through a memorandum of understanding (MoU), aims to foster research, development, and innovation while enhancing ease of doing business in Dubai. It also aligns with the emirate’s broader goal of supporting start-ups, SMEs, and innovative enterprises in the real estate and technology industries.

The collaboration is a direct extension of the Dubai Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) Grant Initiative, which was launched by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, in September 2024.

The MoU was signed at Dubai Silicon Oasis, a key innovation hub within DIEZ, by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Executive Chairman of DIEZ, and His Excellency Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of DLD.

His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni stated, “DIEZ is committed to fostering a dynamic environment for start-ups, SMEs, and innovative enterprises across emerging technology sectors. Dubai has established itself as a global hub for tech-driven entrepreneurship, and this partnership with the Dubai Land Department will further solidify its position as a leading destination for real estate innovation. This initiative directly contributes to the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy and place it among the world’s top three cities by 2033.”
 

His Excellency Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita added, “Supporting proptech start-ups and SMEs is critical to Dubai’s vision of becoming a smart, future-ready city. Through this collaboration, we will enable the seamless adoption of advanced technologies, such as AI and blockchain, in the real estate sector. This also aligns with our Real Estate Evolution Space (REES) initiative, designed to position Dubai as a global leader in real estate innovation under the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.”

Under the agreement, DIEZ and DLD will jointly develop and implement programs that accelerate the adoption of modern real estate technologies. Some of the core initiatives outlined in the MoU include:
Tech integration in real estate: Launching programs that encourage proptech adoption within start-ups, particularly those specializing in AI-driven real estate applications and blockchain-based property transactions.
Support for start-ups and SMEs: Prioritising early-stage proptech companies by providing them with resources, mentorship, and business development support.
Licensing & business support: DIEZ will offer business licenses, visa assistance, and flexible office spaces at the Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (DTEC), the largest tech co-working hub in the MENA region.
Investment & funding: DIEZ will facilitate access to venture capital networks and investors through Oraseya Capital, its dedicated investment arm specialising in funding early-stage start-ups up to the Series B investment phase.
Training & mentorship: DLD will work with educational and professional institutions to develop proptech training programs, provide mentoring opportunities, and introduce interactive platforms for industry collaboration.
Market expansion: Assisting proptech firms in establishing operations and expanding into new markets, further strengthening Dubai’s reputation as a real estate innovation hub.

DUBAI, 26th June, 2024 (WAM) -- The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) and Aramex today commenced with pilot testing of Aramex’s pioneering autonomous robot delivery system at Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), the special economic zone for knowledge and innovation and a member of DIEZ.

The initiative marks a significant step towards the integration of sustainable autonomous delivery vehicles within the urban fabric of Dubai, in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, and represents a pivotal step in the realisation of Dubai’s vision to convert 25 percent of its transportation system to autonomous mode by 2030.

The pilot phase testing, scheduled to run for three months, is set to achieve full operational status by September. Initially, it will cover the Cedre Villas community in Dubai Silicon Oasis. This phase introduces a state-of-the-art multi-cabin delivery robot, a significant upgrade from previous single-cabin bot deployments.

With the capability to make multiple deliveries per trip, it enhances operational efficiency and is projected to reduce carbon emissions by over 500 kilograms during its three-month tenure. Moreover, the robot is expected to autonomously deliver over 1,000 packages to customers within the Cedre Villas community. Anticipating future expansions, DIEZ plans to expand this initiative to encompass its other economic zones, including the Dubai Airport Freezone and Dubai CommerCity.

Muammar Khaled Al Katheeri, Chief Officer of Engineering and Sustainability at DIEZ, said, “Our collaboration with Aramex underscores our dedication to advancing innovative solutions that enhance sustainable urban development in Dubai, aligning with the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. By introducing carbon-neutral delivery robots at DSO, as part of our Smart City Strategy’s focus on smart mobility, we are showcasing our dedication to incorporating advanced technology for a greener future. This initiative not only demonstrates our leadership in nurturing an innovative, safe, and sustainable ecosystem but also signals the start of a new era in logistics solutions. It’s a stride towards enriching the urban living standards of Dubai’s residents and businesses, promising a brighter, more sustainable future.”

Tarek Abuyaghi, General Manager of Aramex, added, “We are thrilled to partner with DIEZ for this groundbreaking initiative, which enhances our last-mile delivery services. Our commitment to operating smart, efficient, and customer-friendly services is unwavering, with innovation at its core—driving us to continuously improve efficiency and prioritise environmental sustainability. This initiative reflects our proactive, integrated, and stakeholder-centric approach, guiding everything we do. We are excited to make a positive impact on the environment while enhancing the urban living experience. We thank DIEZ for their partnership and look forward to offer residents the opportunity to experience future-centric delivery services.”

Residents expecting Aramex packages will be provided with a secure pin code to access their deliveries, ensuring safety and security. Additionally, the operation will be bolstered by a mobile outlet stationed at Cedre Shopping Centre to facilitate continuous loading and unloading, as well as the monitoring of all bot operations.

The delivery bot is outfitted with advanced technologies such as a depth camera, multiple human-bot interface elements, and extensive 360-degree video coverage, ensuring optimal performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its design, which includes a swappable battery pack and eight compartments for different parcel sizes, demonstrates a dedication to solving the logistical demands of today’s urban living.

DUBAI, 30th October, 2024 (WAM) -- The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has launched its strategic human resources (HR) plan for 2024-2026, marking a significant milestone in DIEZ’s journey to develop a comprehensive HR system. This system aims to create a work environment that enhances the performance of human resources and talents within DIEZ and its affiliated economic zones, thereby increasing employee loyalty and retention.

This HR strategic plan aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to advance government operations and systems and improve the quality of life, positioning Dubai among the top three cities globally in terms of living standards.

The strategic plan is built on five main pillars: investing in staff, developing an optimal work environment, increasing levels of Emiratisation, adopting the most effective and advanced systems, and leveraging human resources as business developers. This step aims to accelerate operations, support clients, enhance economic savings, and adopt modern technologies, fostering a positive, constructive, and flexible work environment that meets the demands of future jobs.

Yousuf Behzad, Chief People and Organisational Development Officer at DIEZ, said, “DIEZ is committed to adopting various plans and strategies to enhance and sustain a flexible work environment within the Authority and its affiliated economic zones. This involves identifying human resources requirements, especially in light of the increasing reliance on AI technologies, ensuring we anticipate and meet the demands of future jobs. Implementing advanced technologies such as AI is a top priority for our human resources department, as it aims to improve the quality, speed, and efficiency of government services. Additionally, this enables UAE talents to achieve their full potential in various fields through ongoing support, training programmes, and qualifications.”

“With the launch of this strategic plan, which aligns with the objectives of Dubai’s Quality of Life Strategy for 2033, approved by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, we aim to achieve new levels of employee satisfaction at DIEZ. This will be accomplished by adopting innovative concepts in government innovation to develop human capital and encourage both national talents and global innovators. This approach reinforces workplace and community well-being, ensures professional and personal development, and enhances the authority's and its economic zones' position among the best workplaces in the UAE, particularly in Dubai. Ultimately, we support the vision of making Dubai a global city of innovation and creativity,” Behzad added.

DIEZ is committed to increasing Emiratisation rates within the authority and its economic zones as part of its strategic priority to develop a robust human resources ecosystem. The authority aims to achieve several key objectives in this area, particularly by preparing UAE nationals for leadership and senior roles, which currently boast an Emiratisation rate of 88 percent.

Dubai’s strategic location, coupled with its world-class infrastructure, business-friendly policies, and stable economy, has made it a highly attractive destination for global investors. Its tax-advantaged environment and proximity to both Eastern and Western markets offer numerous advantages.

The global hub for business and tourism unveiled an ambitious $8.7tn (Dhs32tn) economic plan in January. Dubbed the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), the initiative seeks to solidify the emirate’s status as a strategic economic gateway by doubling foreign trade and investment over the next decade.

Dubai, home to more than 28 economic free zones, has embarked on reforms to enhance economic competitiveness, GDP growth, and stability while promoting economic diversity.

The economic free zones have significantly contributed to growth and entrepreneurship by creating a favourable business environment. To strengthen Dubai’s position as a global economic hub and attract more investments, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, created the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) in 2021, consolidating and integrating the products and services of Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZ), Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), and Dubai CommerCity, a joint venture between DIEZ and Al Wasl Properties.

His excellency Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni, executive chairman of DIEZ, emphasises that the three economic free zones play a crucial role in diversifying the economy, fostering innovation, and boosting growth, which aligns with the D33 initiative.

“The DIEZ plays a strategic role in the realisation of the D33, which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy over the next decade. DIEZ’s three integrated economic zones – Dubai Airport Freezone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity – are key contributors toward this agenda and play a unique role in consolidating Dubai’s position among the top three economic cities in the world,” says Al Zarooni.

While DAFZ offers seamless global connectivity, thanks to its strategic location adjacent to Dubai International Airport (DXB), DSO has been instrumental in driving innovation in the emirate as the Dubai CommerCity is positioning the city as a global hub for digital commerce and supporting the region’s growing e-commerce market.

“Since its establishment in 2021, DIEZ has significantly evolved to align with the Dubai Economic Agenda. We have launched several initiatives, including Oraseya Capital, which is our venture capital arm, to support startups and SMEs,” explains Al Zarooni.

“Our focus has expanded to include the integration of AI and smart city solutions, further enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability. These efforts have solidified DIEZ’s role as a key player in Dubai’s economic landscape, driving innovation, economic diversification, and sustainable growth.”

Historically, oil exploration and production have been the cornerstones of GCC economies. However, the region is now actively diversifying its economy and exploring new growth avenues beyond its traditional reliance on fossil fuels.

Among the GCC region’s oil-producing states, Dubai stands out as the most successful in diversifying its economy. Since the 1970s, the emirate has made significant strides in transforming itself into a thriving global hub with a promising economic future. “By fostering a business-friendly ecosystem and continuously improving our services, we ensure that Dubai remains an attractive destination for global investors, thereby boosting the emirate’s investment attractiveness,” says Al Zarooni.

The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) has launched its strategic human resources (HR) plan for 2024-2026, marking a significant milestone in DIEZ’s journey to develop a comprehensive HR system.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai.”

Sheikh Ahmed added: “These positive indicators reaffirm DIEZ’s commitment to enhancing Dubai's esteemed and expanding role as a central hub in global trade and an attractive investment destination. Our comprehensive and integrated economic model, known for its exceptional flexibility and attractive incentives, offers companies robust opportunities for establishing, developing, and sustaining their businesses.
