UAE:
BUILT ON
A FOUNDATION
OF VISION
& PROSPERITY
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) sits proudly between Europe,
Africa and Asia, a thriving, contemporary and cosmopolitan
country with an eye on the future. Throughout its history, as well
as from its establishment as an independent sovereign state in
1971, the UAE has been known for consistently developing its
infrastructure and remains focused on offering investors attractive
benefits – both commercially and socially.
These benefits are underpinned by technological innovations
and the vision of its leaders, primarily through the creation
of versatile economic free zones. Since inception, the UAE provides
foreign investors with initiatives designed to foster their growth.
For example, UAE Vision 2021 outlines the creation of an even
more investor-friendly tax environment, while the country’s
extensive double tax treaty (DTT) network further cements its
stronghold as a business hub.
The country’s robust economic zones not only offer investors a
broad range of commercial activities and infrastructure, but safety
in its ability to adapt and withstand different external factors.

UAE: BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF VISION & PROSPERITY The United Arab Emirates (UAE) sits proudly between Europe, Africa and Asia, a thriving, contemporary and cosmopolitan country with an eye on the future. Throughout its history, as well as from its establishment as an independent sovereign state in 1971, the UAE has been known for consistently developing its infrastructure and remains focused on offering investors attractive benefits – both commercially and socially. These benefits are underpinned by technological innovations and the vision of its leaders, primarily through the creation of versatile economic free zones. Since inception, the UAE provides foreign investors with initiatives designed to foster their growth. For example, UAE Vision 2021 outlines the creation of an even more investor-friendly tax environment, while the country’s extensive double tax treaty (DTT) network further cements its stronghold as a business hub.
