A NOTE FROM OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR

A NOTE FROM AMCHAM DUBAI’S MANAGING DIRECTOR Happy New Year! Wishing you all a productive and healthy 2022!

It’s indeed time to look ahead and set goals, make plans, and optimistically anticipate all that awaits in the new year ahead. While the global pandemic has greatly affected the world and continues to create challenges, it is undeniably driving much change. It has mandated that AmCham Dubai, like all organizations, review and revise operations.

In order to keep relevant for our members, we have had to increase our agility and adaptability. The result: YOUR organization continues to evolve.

I am delighted to report that 2021 resulted in AmCham Dubai achieving new levels of success as we continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape we operate in.

The strength of our collaborations with stakeholders has helped us deliver across more for our members which has supported them in achieving greater ROI on their engagement. Thank you for trusting us as your partner.

So in 2022, you have my commitment that we will grab opportunities to adapt and bring increased value. This will create an environment in which we all thrive. As a non-profit, the key performance indicators are more comprehensive than just the bottom line. We measure our success on organizational growth indicators and in 2021, we grew our membership and member engagement across all sectors.

AmCham Dubai has a new address - One Business Centre 5th Floor of the JLT One. Thank you to our hosts, DMCC, who continue to support us with office space.

Let’s keep up the momentum and achieve new heights together!

Regards, Cara Nazari Managing Director

WE HAVE MOVED! Over the break a lot has changed – a new work week and a change of office location.

You will now find AmCham Dubai at the JLT ONE Business Centre. Located in the heart of the UAE's most dynamic Free Zone, One JLT provides a range of luxury, fully serviced offices and creative co-working spaces.

One JLT Building Level 5 JLT, Dubai

MEMBER NEWS DUBAI IFZA

HOW DUBAI FREE ZONES ASSIST STARTUPS Starting a new venture is intimidating, especially in a foreign country. A startup has sizable risks attached to it, and often you genuinely need support services because you are a one-man band who wears many different hats that eventually become hard to juggle all on your own.

Free Zones take on many of the burdens new small business owners experience, especially when setting up in a foreign country.

In Dubai, companies that wish to be in the center of the region’s economic bustle can choose between the different Free Zones to set up in. In IFZA, new businesses can set up shop combining commercial, professional and industrial activities under a single license. But how easy is it – really – to start a brand-new business in IFZA Dubai.

PAINLESS IFZA combines its impressive administrative power and state-of-theart facilities with professional local and international partners who specialize in business formation services, ensuring an encompassing web of knowledge, networks and expertise that are unparalleled. Through the IFZA Academy, we train our Professional Partners to uphold our standards and values, and the UAE’s Free Zone landscape, while offering startups their complementary services, all in one place.

14

THE AMCHAM UPDATE Q4 - 2022

DUBAI IFZA This model is still unique compared to other Free Zones in Dubai, giving International Free Zone companies incredible resources to draw from for a painless start-up within the walls of a secure, organized authority.

Generally, Free Zones make life a whole lot easier because the zone authorities deal with the legal formalities. In IFZA, we provide the customerfocused support to our partners, one of the best locations in the UAE, streamlined processes and modern office solutions.

All paperwork happens electronically so that a new international business can progress through the incorporation phase in the International Free Zone without the physical presence of its business owner so clients can set up their business in Dubai no matter where you find yourself in the world.

The IFZA incorporation process has been meticulously studied to be simplified, transparent and streamlined. And because of our global network of partners, clients are assured that we are at your side every step of the way .

FLEXIBILITY Where many Free Zones require their businesses to have a physical office space within the zone,

IFZA does not place that burden on our companies. Our basic license packages of 0-3 Visa Allocations give businesses the flexibility to start without an office space and rent a desk as needed. Our property offering covers the full range of services to grow with your business needs, making IFZA a logical choice for small- and medium-sized companies starting out in the region.

Starting out as a new business in any place in the world is exciting.

Perhaps we are biased, but Dubai is certainly one of the most exciting places to setup in. Contact a member of our global network of Professional Partners today to begin your journey.
