Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening an event management company in the UAE as a Japanese founder no longer requires a local partner. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for opening an event management company in the UAE as a Japanese founder and makes international pricing simple.
