During the online event, we talk about the opportunities and advantages of entering the markets of the Middle East, how to take advantage of the favorable tax regime and jurisdiction to open a trading or holding company, and at the same time have a presence in one of the largest IT centers in the world.
The UAE has a single customs area with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia within the framework of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. If you are planning to enter the Middle East market or looking for the best place for a new trading company - it is best to register your company here:

Dubai is the business center of the Arab world.
• many different IT clusters, incubators, investors; • potential partners and talented employees; • a large client market within the framework of Smart Dubai implementation • simple legislation for the creation and operation of blockchain and crypto companies
If you need a place for a holding or management company of a business and you are ready to come to Dubai often - this is definitely the most beneficial option from the point of view of income taxation, business and financial infrastructure.
