When we discovered firststeps@DIC, we were able to focus on market growth without the distractions of organising office fit out, telecom services, licenses, visas, and so on. We are convinced that without this essential service, Hampson Russell would have taken weeks rather than minutes to establish.

The environment in Dubai Internet City has proven to be vibrant and active, with its ever changing, cutting edge technology, and melting pot of nationalities - making it a truly unique place to work. Our local office provides a high level of comfort to customers, while the excellent connections through Dubai International Airport have allowed us to expand rapidly into surrounding countries.

Dubai Internet City is a magnet for attracting the very best the industry has to offer. Being within easy reach of the main hi-tech companies has allowed us to build close relationships with our partners, and also, to benefit greatly from networking opportunities and knowledge sharing within the community.

Having easy access to a high standard of ICT infrastructure, combined with tax exemption laws, has eased the pressure of relocating to a new market, and allowed us to concentrate on developing and expanding our regional business portfolio.

Vice President, Middle East & North Africa Region, Huawei Technologies
Our market leadership is a direct result of the conducive business environment provided by Dubai Internet City. The ease of setting up, and the efficient, world-class infrastructure and support systems allow us to focus on our business while taking full advantage of being based in an IT cluster.
Joseph Hanania
Managing Director, Hewlett Packard Middle East
A first class, tax free environment, Dubai Internet City provides an excellent communications network as well as easy access to a large, worldwide market. In Dubai, we are centrally located to do business with the rest of the world (just try travelling to Australia from the UK). We would not have been able to grow as fast as we have done, if we had stayed in the UK or in Europe.
Jim Morrison
Chief Executive Officer, i-mate
With our expertise, we helped move Dubai Internet City’s technological vision from concept to realisation in just 12 months. Its metro Ethernet infrastructure provides residents with 100Mbps at every desk, as well as IP telephony facilities and universal 2Mbps Internet access.
