DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. From day one, the most common businesses Swedes open through GoldenKey are in technology, telecom, design and sustainability, although DMCC Free Zone supports almost any activity. Swedes are a technology-focused community with Swedish telecom, fintech and design firms in Dubai, so the DMCC Free Zone authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Swedish applications every day and process them without hesitation.
