The guide provides practical recommendations and direct links to useful resources, enabling founders to access appropriate support services efficiently.
The Dubai Startup Guide complements the recent establishment of Dubai Founders HQ, a new hub designed to strengthen the emirate’s startup and small business ecosystem. This facility combines physical workspace with digital platform capabilities, connecting entrepreneurs with investors and ecosystem partners to enhance collaboration and business development.
Timing with Global Startup Event
The guide’s release aligns with the upcoming Expand North Star 2025, recognized as the world’s largest startup gathering.

The 2025 edition marks the event’s tenth anniversary since its original launch in 2016, demonstrating the city’s expanding role as a major center for digital economy activities.
The publication aims to help business founders make well-informed decisions while taking advantage of the emirate’s competitive benefits as an international business destination.
