Event Management in the UAE for Singaporeans

Why Meydan Free Zone

As we tell every client, unlike some zones, Meydan Free Zone does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is issued. On the ground, one licence can cover up to 5 business activities.

Why the UAE

Just as important, banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of opening an event management company in the UAE as a Singaporean founder predictable.
