As part of the MoU, DMCC will offer special business setup support packages for companies attracted to the emirate by Dubai Chambers, particularly those specialising in cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and gaming. Companies will also benefit from opportunities to participate in DMCC’s knowledge series events, as well as access the services of DMCC’s compliance hub and tax clinics on a complimentary basis.

Khalid Al Jarwan, Vice President of Operations and acting Vice President of Digital and Commercial Sectors at Dubai Chambers, said, "Through this agreement...we aim to cement Dubai’s position as a...leading incubator for innovative companies specialising in future-facing sectors. This comes as part of our commitment to attracting global investments to Dubai and developing an advanced digital business ecosystem in the emirate.”
