Established in 2002 under Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's directives, Dubai SME mandates that government entities and those with over 25% government equity allocate 10% of their procurement to Emirati SMEs. This policy aims to bolster the local entrepreneurial ecosystem by enabling SMEs to meet the demands of government, semi-government, and private sectors.
Helal Saeed Almarri, Director General of Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), emphasized Dubai SME's pivotal role in supporting SMEs as foundational to Dubai's economic landscape. The AED1.27 billion contracts awarded in 2023 reflect the commitment of various sectors—governmental, semi-governmental, federal, and private—to empower SMEs and foster their growth in Dubai's dynamic business environment.
SMEs in Dubai contribute significantly to the economy, comprising 99% of establishments, employing 50% of the workforce, and generating nearly 46% of the city's total value-added. They are critical in driving economic growth, promoting innovation, and expanding market opportunities, thereby reinforcing Dubai's reputation as a global business hub.
Aligned with the D33 Agenda, Dubai prioritizes enhancing SME capabilities and integrating them into future workforce strategies. Abdul Basit Al Janahi, CEO of Dubai SME, highlighted their comprehensive support framework, including financial assistance, technical guidance, and access to incubators and training programs, aimed at nurturing entrepreneurial talent and ensuring sustainable business success.
In 2023, top supporting entities for Dubai SMEs included Dubai Government bodies like Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Municipality, Dubai Police, and others, alongside prominent semi-government and federal entities. The private sector, including Union Coop, Majid Al Futtaim Hypermarkets, and Emaar Properties, also significantly contributed to SME growth through increased support initiatives.
Overall, Dubai SME's efforts underscore its commitment to advancing SME interests and fostering a robust business ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders, in line with Dubai's strategic objectives for sustainable economic development and global competitiveness.
