Dubai lures AI, Web3 enterprises with 90% subsidized commercial licenses
In addition to attracting talent, Dubai has also given out operational licenses to crypto exchanges over the past several months.
The Dubai AI and Web 3.0 Campus — an aspiring tech hub — announced the decision to subsidize the licenses for companies willing to set up a base in the city. The licenses will be issued by Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) as the city eyes an influx of global talent and diversified investors.
DIFC Innovation Hub CEO Mohammad Alblooshi shared:
“We are confident that by granting these licenses, we will attract more global talent and investment to the region and create a culture of collaboration and innovation.”
The campus comes equipped with technologies that complement the crowd it hopes to attract, which includes AI lab facilities and training programs, supporting hardware and accelerator programs.
- Enterprises interested in signing up for subsidized commercial licenses must fill out a form.
- Further investigation from Cointelegraph revealed that the sign-up form did not acknowledge the form submission and redirected the users to the home page at the time of writing.

In addition to attracting talent, Dubai has also given out operational licenses to crypto exchanges. Earlier in August, Nomura’s crypto arm, Laser Digital Middle East, obtained an operating license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority.
The new virtual asset service provider license would allow Laser Digital to offer broker-dealer and virtual asset management and investment services in the emirate.
