The agreement to offer startups access to Soft Landing Programme
Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) recently signed a strategic agreement with Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Dubai Chamber) to support start-ups and entrepreneurs in Dubai.
The agreement was signed between Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (Dtec), the largest tech hub and coworking space in the MENA region, wholly owned by Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA), and Dubai Startup Hub, an initiative of Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni, Vice Chairman and CEO of DSOA, and Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber, signed the one-year agreement at Dtec in the presence of several officials from the two entities.
Under the terms of the partnership, DSOA and Dubai Chamber will produce an annual report on start-ups in Dubai in a bid to attract business and direct investment, through Dtec and Dubai Startup Hub.
The agreement will also offer startups access to the “Soft Landing Program” that facilitates business setup in the emirate. In addition, they will have the opportunity to participate in the quarterly Dtec Forum that seeks to address key issues of the startup ecosystem, and other entrepreneurship-focused workshops organized by Dtec.
“DSOA works to position Dubai as a leading destination for business setup and investment through offering world-class services to diverse sectors, especially in the technology field,” stated Dr. Al Zarooni.
“Our cooperation with DSOA marks the beginning of a new phase of Dubai’s endeavors to establish itself as the global startup capital,” remarked Buamim.
