Emerge FZCO has officially launched a founder-first ecosystem designed to position Dubai as the ultimate hub for global tech entrepreneurs. Operating from the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) Free Zone, Emerge offers licensing support, business services, co-working spaces, and investor introductions, making it easier for startups in blockchain, fintech, gaming, e-commerce, and entertainment to establish and scale from Dubai.
Supported by DWTC’s regulatory framework and year-round events, Emerge aims to simplify market entry while fostering connections across Dubai’s thriving innovation landscape. Industry-specific programs, starting with gaming and followed by e-commerce, are set to roll out in 2025-26.
Directors Kokila Alagh and Pranav Agarwal emphasize that Dubai’s world-class infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and access to capital make it the “Silicon Valley of the East,” enabling founders not only to launch locally but expand globally across MENA, Asia, and Africa.
“Bold builders belong here,” says Alagh — Emerge is ready to make Dubai the springboard for the next generation of global tech leaders.
