Dubai International Financial Centre continues to deliver strong results and reinforce its role in advancing Dubai towards the vision set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, to position our city among the world’s top four financial centres.
In the first half of 2026, DIFC surpassed 10,000 active registered companies for the first time in its history, with annual growth of 30%. AI, FinTech and innovation firms increased to 1,933, up 39% year-on-year, alongside continued growth in family business-related entities and firms.
In Dubai, leadership is not measured only by what we achieve, but by the opportunities we create for others. Our journey is not about keeping pace with the future—it is about helping shape it.
