WhatsApp quoteDubai is the UAE's commercial capital — trade anywhere in the UAE with a Dubai DET licence, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. A Dubai mainland licence, issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. Austrian firms supply building technology, rail and hospitality expertise to UAE projects, which gives Austrian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai licence is released. Crucially, the most common businesses Austrians open through GoldenKey are in engineering, hospitality, construction technology and trading, although Dubai supports almost any activity.
