The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy has unveiled the “Dubai Startup Guide”, a comprehensive resource designed to support entrepreneurs in launching and scaling digital businesses in the emirate.

The publication serves as a practical roadmap for founders, offering detailed insights into Dubai’s startup ecosystem, including business setup, legal frameworks, financing options, and sector-specific incentives. It also highlights the key entities driving the emirate’s digital economy, such as accelerators, incubators, sandboxes, and free zones.

The guide covers 12 priority sectors: 3D printing, agritech, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital assets, edtech, fintech, gaming, healthtech, metaverse/Web3, proptech, and SaaS/software. It emphasizes the specialized hubs and programs that support each sector.

The launch complements the recent opening of Dubai Founders HQ, a first-of-its-kind hybrid hub that connects entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem partners through both a physical space and a digital platform. Together, these initiatives aim to foster innovation, collaboration, and business growth within Dubai’s thriving startup community.

Developed as a user-friendly reference, the guide helps entrepreneurs navigate regulatory procedures, access funding, and leverage Dubai’s competitive advantages.

The launch coincides with Expand North Star 2025, one of the world’s largest startup events, organized by Dubai World Trade Centre and hosted by the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy.
