Dubai Internet City

DTMFZ’s first project, Dubai Internet City (DIC), provides what is described as a ‘Knowledge Economy Ecosystem’ that is designed to support the business development of information and communications technology (ICT) companies in Dubai. DIC is the Middle East’s biggest IT infrastructure built inside a free trade zone and it has the largest commercial Internet Protocol (IP) telephony system in the world. It is a strategic base for companies targeting emerging markets in the region extending from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent and Africa to the CIS countries, covering 1.6 billion people with a combined GDP of US$ 1.1 trillion.

The ICT companies already established in Dubai Internet City comprise those involved in software and website development, business services and e-commerce, consultancy, education and training, sales and marketing, and back office operations. DIC also provides a scalable state-of-the-art technology platform on a turn – key basis that caters to companies seeking to provide cost effective business process outsourcing (BPO) services such as call centre operations without heavy equipment capital costs.
