Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)

Over the last 16 years, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has created a diversified and advanced ecosystem like no other in the MEASA region. It’s big, diverse and built on credibility – the 25,600-strong workforce from across more than 2,400 companies is proof of that. It also happens to be one of the world’s most forward-thinking financial hubs.

The Centre has focused its efforts on laying the building blocks of an enabling FinTech and start-up enabling environment by launching the first regional financial technology accelerator, introducing tailored and competitively priced licensing regimes, providing fit-for-purpose regulation and offering a collaborative workspace.
