The opinions expressed by business taxpayers are their own.
Business spirit is always a jump of faith, regardless of where it is launched. But some cities offer more than a single springboard. They give you altitude. And for me, Dubai is exactly that.
I have been in the business for more than two decades, which cover everything from digital public relations and content strategy to luxury lifestyle services. I have seen that different markets rise and stop, but I have never experienced anything like Dubai. For entrepreneurs who are ready to think around the world and act decisively, this city is not just promising. It is demonstrating.

The mentality here is about impulse
What first caught my attention when I started working in Dubai was how different people moved here. There is a speed in the decision -making process. Do not be trapped in bureaucratic loops or infinite meetings. If you are contributing value and clarity to the table, you will find respect and opportunity.
It’s not about taking shortcuts, it’s about understanding that speed matters. In many other markets, new companies fight through noise and bureaucracy. Here, there is an infrastructure designed to help you run.
Infrastructure admits the scale – rapid
The EAU Government has overcome digital infrastructure, the simplification of business configuration and economic diversification. For example, establishing a business through the Department of Economy and Tourism of Dubai (DET) is significantly faster that in most western markets.
Whether you are launching a consultancy, an application or a content platform, there is an ecosystem that helps, does not hinder your impulse. Free areas, visa support and access to banking services are optimized for growth.
Talent and capital come to you
Dubai is attracting an international wave of digital nomads, specialists and investors who want to live, work and build in one of the safer and most connected cities in the world. The attractiveness of the city’s lifestyle is not a distraction, it is an attractor.
I hired people who came to Dubai on vacation and decided to move. I met angels investors in yacht events and business leaders during breakfast in DIFC. In most cities, you have to pursue capital and talent. In Dubai, you often need to appear prepared.
The region is a gateway, not an end point
A common erroneous idea is that Dubai is a luxury island disconnected from the true global business game. That could not be bad. This is a regional center that connects this and west, north and south. With direct flights to almost all global business centers and the increase in Asia and Africa’s investment, Dubai is more than a destination. It is a distribution point for influence.
And that matters when it is building a brand, raising capital or exporting services. You want a base that connects it with various economies, not just one.
The cultural currency of ambition
People come to Dubai with a mentality: they want to build. That is the unifying feature, regardless of the background, the passport or the industry. And it is incredibly energizing.
For the founders, that means less cynicism and more optimism. The conversations here are different, not only about how to survive, but how to climb. That culture is infectious. It forces you to level up.
What to keep in mind
That said, Dubai is not a shortcut for success. You still have to appear, do the job and add a real value. Relationships care deeply here. So does consistency. If you are only looking for a quick victory or a public relations splash, it will run out quickly.
In addition, it does not assume what worked in London, New York or Singapore will automatically translate here. You need to locate, listen and adapt.

Dubai has allowed me to consolidate my businesses under a clearer personal brand, open doors for associations that I would never have expected and mentors of founders who are building relevant companies worldwide.
If you are considering making the leap, either for your business or your brand, now it is time. Because Dubai not only grows; It is building a future where businessmen are architects.
And that is the type of energy that each founder needs.
