Dubai is actively building the Technology and Information Systems City of Tomorrow.

Dubai will soon achieve its goal of creating a fully networked city. Leveraging the computing power of the cloud, Dubai is not only building a robust and reliable IT infrastructure to support an evolving Internet of Things (IoT) presence, it is attracting many of the world’s top technology and information systems firms for development in the areas of network efficiency, safety, security, the reduction of waste, and the optimization of resources and services.

Additionally, the development of a fully integrated, scalable, and intelligent transportation system will provide the city with the necessary platforms and infrastructure for continued growth and expansion into the foreseeable future. Both governmental and private institutions are deeply committed to investing in and harnessing the power of advancing technologies such as:

Virtual Reality Technologies (software, hardware, experience platforms);

Dubai is the 4th most visited city in the world, and was recently awarded the World Expo 2020, signifying an unprecedented achievement for the city and region. World Expos are known as the key meeting place for the global community to share innovations and make progress on issues of international importance (e.g., the global economy, sustainable development, and improved quality of life for the world’s population). The World Expo is also a catalyst for economic, social, and cultural transformation, generating important legacies for the city and nation hosting this event. The World Expo represents and embraces more than 180 nationalities and cultures.

In the lead-up to the World Expo, both governmental and private firms in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry have pledged to make Dubai a world-leader in Tourism and Hospitality.

TRANSPORTATION, LOGISTICS, AND REDISTRIBUTION

In Dubai, when it comes to the Transportation, Logistics, and the Redistribution of Human Beings, Goods, and Services, Science Fiction is Rapidly Becoming Reality.

According to a USA Today (January 2015) article, Dubai is now the world’ busiest airport for international travelers. With double-digit growth projected for Dubai’s International Airport and the addition of the new Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai is positioned to become the most important transportation hub for passengers and cargo in the world.

In addition, the latest estimates from multiple sources tracking international transportation, supply chain, and distribution performance factors, have identified Dubai as the third largest re-transportation port in the world (behind Korea and Singapore). While many of the world’s most important cargo hubs experienced decline in 2013, over the past several years, Dubai’s cargo traffic increased 6.8% (Ohayon, 2014). Equally important to the movement of people and products, is the creation of a Whole-Sale Free-Zone City.

Both governmental and private institutions are deeply committed to investing in and harnessing the power of Transportation, Logistics, and Redistribution technology. For example, specific areas of opportunity include:

Flying Drone Taxis;
Driverless Cars;
Elon Musk’s Hyperloop to Abu Dhabi;
Technology Firms Specializing in Transportation Management Software;
Transportation and Logistics Infrastructure Development;

The growth and revenue opportunities for American, European, and South-East Asian firms who possess these technologies, services, products, and platforms are enormous. In addition, the Dubai and Middle East markets offer unique opportunities for transportation, logistic, and redistribution firms to explore new applications for their services and products, and to explore new opportunities for their services and products in traditionally over looked business sectors.

MEDICAL SERVICES AND MEDICAL TOURISM

In the areas of Medical Services and Medical Tourism, Dubai is committed to transforming itself from being a consumer of innovation to a developer and pioneer of innovative Health Care.

In pursuit of this goal, Dubai has launched an aggressive effort to improve the quality, affordability, and timeliness of care in both the government and private health-care sectors. Central to the medical industry’s transformation and reform are the government’s establishment of the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and the Dubai Health City Authority (DHCA). The DHA and DHCA are chartered to oversee and develop new initiatives and programs such as:

Development of a premier medical academic institution;
Substantial investment in modernizing hospitals;
Universally accessible and affordable Health Care;
Reducing the Reliance on Out-of- Country Care;
Adoption of Specialty, Medical Tourism and Wellness Clinics based on the boutique or concierge business models;

The Dubai and Middle East markets also offer unique opportunities for firms in the Medical Services and Medical Tourism industries to explore new applications for their services and products, and to explore new opportunities for their services and products in traditionally over looked business sectors.
